BANGKONG
The Bad Toad
Every night
the paddy field was very crowded. Frog, grasshoppers, ladybugs, eel, water
snails, and others were have fun. But since the arrival a toad named Bangkong
the mood was changed. Bangkong was an evil toad. He had big and strong body.
Initially, Bangkong rescued The Green Frog King from a snake so he became a
honorable guest of the paddy field people. But it was a big mistake because
Bangkong was very bad.
Bangkong liked to scare and threatening the paddy field
people that his saliva was
poisonous like a snake. He said that by once spat all of the
paddy field people would die. “Do you need a proof?” said Bangkong,
challenging. Every day he was only sleep
and sleep, and food must be provided. The people of paddy field was very fear.
Finally, The Grasshoppher King went to the empty garden where was not far from
the paddy field. He met The Garden Frog King to discuss about Bangkong.
“I think that Bangkong had die. He is a very bad toad. I
am very grateful when he is not stay in
this garden again.” The Garden Frog King told to The Grasshopper King.
“Is he poisonous like a snake? He always scare us by his
poison saliva.”
The Garden Frog King laughed. “It is only a boast! It is
impossible that a frog have poison! Is he think that he is a frog who the
descendant of a snake?”
“He is very evil and ignore the rule of life,” said The
Grasshopper King.
The Garden Frog King said, “You must look for a way to
eliminate him. You know that his body is very big. Therefore, many cats are scare to him. He is very
arrogant. Find his weakness from his pride!”
The Grasshopper King went to home and invited all kings
the fields. They made a secret meeting to eliminate Bangkong. The meeting was
long but they never found a way. Suddenly, there was a buffalo that pass quickly
and The Ladybird King found an idea, “Spilt his stomach!”
“How is the way?”
“Bangkong is very arrogant. We ask him to inflate his
stomach as if a buffalo. Tell him that his body can be bigger than a buffalo,”
The Ladybird King said. The proposal was approved.
Then, they ordered the kids of paddy fields to accompany
Bangkong. But, previous, their kids had informed about their task. There were
who had a task to sing a song, fanning, and massaged his body. Bangkong was
very pleased as if he was the real king of the paddy fields.
When a buffalo passed, the grasshopper kid asked, “What
is the animal who have a very big body?”
“He is a buffalo,” Bangkong replied.
“His body is very big! I never see that a frog can
enlarge the body like a buffalo!” shouted the kid of green frog.
Bangkong became angry and offended by the time he heard
the words. “What are you just to say? Don’t say like that! You have not seen me
when I enlarged my body! Look at this!” Bangkong said and inhaled much air. He inflated his
stomach as an huge ballon.
“More bigger! More bigger!” shouted the kids of
grasshopper and ladybird.
Bangkong be excited. He inhaled air as much he could do
until his stomach skin became very thin. But he still enlarged his stomach in
order to be bigger than a buffalo.
At the moment, The Water Beetle
King jumped and stabbed his thorn to Bangkong’s body. Bangkong’s stomach
exploded loudly and he was dead. Now,
the people of the paddy fields are live safely. (*)
