Cerpen Di Atas Langit Masih Ada Langit

Pada suatu hari, seorang pengusaha sedang memotong rambutnya pada tukang cukur yang berdomisili tak jauh dari kantornya, mereka melihat ada seorang anak berusia 10 tahunan berlari-lari dan melompat-lompat di depan mereka.

Tukang cukur berkata, ”Itu Benu, dia anak paling bodoh yang pernah saya kenal”

”Masak, apa iya?” jawab pengusaha

Lalu tukang cukur memanggil si Benu, ia lalu merogoh kantongnya dan mengeluarkan lembaran uang Rp.2.000 dan koin Rp.1.000, lalu menyuruh Benu memilih, ”Benu, kamu boleh pilih dan ambil salah satu uang ini, terserah kamu mau pilih yang mana, ayo ambil!”

Benu melihat ke tangan Tukang cukur dimana ada uang Rp.2.000 dan Rp.1.000, lalu dengan cepat tangannya bergerak mengambil uang Rp.1.000.

Tukang cukur dengan perasaan bangga lalu melirik dan berbalik kepada sang pengusaha dan berkata, ”Benar kan yang saya katakan tadi, Benu itu memang anak terbodoh yang pernah saya temui. Sudah tak terhitung berapa kali saya ngetes dia seperti itu tadi dan dia selalu mengambil uang logam yang nilainya lebih kecil.”

Setelah sang pengusaha selesai memotong rambutnya, di tengah perjalanan pulang dia bertemu dengan Benu. Karena merasa penasaran dengan apa yang dia lihat sebelumnya, dia pun memanggil Benu dan bertanya, ”Benu, tadi saya melihat sewaktu tukang cukur menawarkan uang lembaran Rp.2.000 dan Rp.1.000, saya lihat kok yang kamu ambil uang yang Rp.1.000, kenapa tak ambil yang Rp.2.000, nilainya kan lebih besar 2 kali lipat dari yang Rp.1.000?”

Benu pun tertawa kecil berkata, ”Saya tidak akan dapat lagi Rp.1.000 setiap hari, karena tukang cukur itu selalu penasaran kenapa saya tidak ambil yang seribu. Kalau saya ambil yang Rp.2.000, berarti permainannya selesai dan kapan lagi saya dapat uang jajan gratis setiap hari.”

Banyak orang yang merasa lebih pintar dibandingkan orang lain, sehingga mereka sering menganggap remeh orang lain. Ukuran kepintaran seseorang hanya TUHAN yang mengetahuinya. Alangkah bijaksananya jika kita tidak menganggap diri sendiri lebih pintar dari orang lain. Di atas langit masih ada langit yang lain.

The Painting of Destiny

"Are you sure of this, Navan?" The old pirate stared at King Mannas' chief merchant. However, his bright emerald green eyes sparkled with laughter. "The information came from Daoud, one of my former crew members, when I was ravaging the coastal villages of Vyrone." Navan smiled at the expression crossing Gerrod's face, whose family had fled from one of these villages. The Iron Falcon was a legend and parents had always used the threat of its crew and its flaming-haired captain to scare naughty children into sleeping and behaving differently. Gerrod quickly recovered and smiled. "Then he must be a man to be trusted, indeed." "Ah!" cried Navan. "Daoud will take the coin from the mouth of a dead man while it is still warm. I trust him only because he knows the fate of him who lies to me." I may have made him captain when I decided to infiltrate King Mannas' court, but he still knows who is in charge. "We must tell ...
