Cerpen Kisah Kakek Bodah Yang Memindahkan Gunung

Alkisah, di sebuah desa terpencil, tinggallah seorang kakek bersama dengan keluarga besarnya. Desa tempat mereka tinggal itu terletak di antara dua gunung besar. Bila keluarga sang kakek itu hendak pergi ke desa lain, mereka harus berjalan kaki berhari-hari lamanya memutari gunung. Tentu itu sangat melelahkan dan menyita banyak waktu.

Suatu saat, sang kakek tua dengan pemikirannya yang lugu dan sederhana mengemukakan tekadnya. Ia mengajak segenap keluarganya untuk bahu-membahu memindahkan gunung. Pada hari yang telah ditentukan, keluarga sang kakek pun mulai menggali tanah lereng gunung. Hari demi hari dipenuhi dengan bekerja menggali-menggali dan menggali lereng gunung. Melihat kesibukan tersebut, beberapa hari kemudian para tetangga berdatangan. Salah seorang pemuda begitu penasaran dan bertanya pada si kakek.

”Kakek dan seluruh keluarga besar setiap hari terlihat begitu sibuk! Dari pagi sampai sore, menggali lereng gunung. Sebenarnya, apa maksud dan tujuan kakek?”

Si kakek menghentikan kerjanya. ”Kami menggali untuk memindahkan gunung ini, Nak,” jawabnya mantap.

”Hah, memindahkan gunung?? Mana mungkin, Kek?!” tanya si pemuda tidak percaya.

”Gunung sebesar itu kok mau dipindahkan,” lanjutnya. ”Kakek kan sudah tua. Saya yakin, sebelum gunung bisa dipindahkan, kakek pasti sudah meninggal lebih dulu. Dengan begitu, bukankah kakek mengerjakan sesuatu yang sia-sia belaka?”

Si kakek menjawab dengan lantang, ”Kakek memang sudah tua. Tapi bila kakek meninggal, ada anak-anak yang meneruskan, ada cucu-cucu yang akan menggantikan, begitu seterusnya... Selama kami punya tekad, mau bekerja keras, penuh kesungguhan hati, dan konsisten, kakek yakin suatu hari kelak, gunung ini pasti bisa dipindahkan. Dan jalan kehidupan kita semua akan lebih mudah!”

Tekad si kakek dan keluarganya yang begitu kuat, menggoyahkan hati masyarakat sekitar situ. Maka, mereka pun berbondong-bondong bergantian, dengan peralatan yang seadanya, bahu membahu mulai ikut bersama-sama bekerja menggali lereng gunung itu.

Singkat cerita, hati para dewa di khayangan pun akhirnya tergerak ketika melihat tekad si kakek dan semangat warga desa. Kemudian, mereka sepakat membantu sang kakek untuk memindahkan gunung itu. Dan haaap, tangan para dewa sibuk melambai bekerja sama. Dalam sekejap, terjadilah keajaiban! Gunung pun berpindah tempat dan jalan terbentang luas menuju kemana pun masyarakat desa itu hendak pergi.

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 ...
