3.Why Do Hawks Hunt Chicks?
Ok, guys this is my last story to be reviewed. Maybe most of you not really familiar with this kind of fable.Actually, I don't know this tale very well but I will try the best to explain it to you guys.^^
This fable is kind of a heredity story that maybe the ancients often deliver it to their generations, but in this case I mean, that this is the habit of families from outside Indonesia. It tells about a hawk which is fell in love with a hen. He asked the Hen to marry him. Inside her heart, she really want to accept the hawk's purpose. But instead of said "yes" she answered that she would learn how to fly like the hawk before they can marry and fly together. So, to keep her promise, the Hawk gave her a ring. But unfortunately at that time,the Hen already promised to marry the rooster.
Realizing the ring, the rooster got angry and order the Hen to threw away the ring. from the Hawk A couple months later, the Hawk came to the Hen to demand her promise. The Hen tell the Hawk about the true story. After heard about that, suddenly the Hawk got furious and he gave some curse to the Hen. He said that the Hen and his generation will always scratching the earth and the Hawk will always flying to catch the Hen's children.
So guys, although it just a short fable, I think it gives us a very good lesson. It tells us that we can't promise to someone while we know that we will not fulfill it. It means we can not easily give a promise to someone else before thinking twice.
In Indonesia there is a fable that similar with "Why Do Hawks Hunt Chicks?", it is about a dog,horse,goat,buffalo, and also a ox. A long long time ago, there was a dog who make a friends with horse,buffalo,ox and goat. But dog is very arrogant, he like berating his friends.

Wanting to respect the dog, they try to seat hard. The dog smile when looking his friends try so hard. A few minutes later, the dog can't hold on his self and suddenly laugh very loud. Hearing that, the horse,goat,ox and the buffalo angry and hit the dog. Luckily, the dog can escape from that incident. That is why, now every dogs always bark when they saw buffaloes,oxes,goats and horses.
