Pengertian Cerita Rakyat dalam Bahasa Inggris dan Contohnya

“Teacher, may I ask you why do you sleep in all our lessons?”

“My friend,” replied the monk without any embarrassment. “It just seems that way. During these minutes I meet with Buddha and listen to His wise words. That's why I try to sleep as much as I can.”

One time Lee took care of his sick father during the night and fell asleep at school in the morning. He slept so deeply that he didn't hear the bell, which woke the monk.

When the monk saw the sleeping boy, he got very angry, took Lee by the ear and started screaming:

“Ah, you, little weasel! How dare you fall asleep in my class?”

“Teacher,” said Lee. “It just seemed that I slept. I was with Buddha and listened to His wise words.”

“And what did the all-powerful Buddha say to you?”

“The all-powerful Buddha told me:” Never in my life have I seen your teacher.”

Terjemahan:

Biksu dan murid

Di suatu sekolah, gurunya adalah seorang biksu. Yang paling dia sukai adalah makan camilan dan tidur siang setelahnya. Setiap kali sebelum pelajaran, dia makan begitu banyak sehingga dia hampir tidak bisa bergerak.

Segera setelah pelajaran dimulai, dia selalu tidur siang dan tidur sampai bel akhir pelajaran berbunyi.

Putra seorang warga desa yang miskin adalah seorang murid di sekolah yang sama. Namanya Lee. Suatu ketika Lee bertanya pada biksu itu:

“Guru, bolehkah aku bertanya padamu mengapa Anda tidur di semua pelajaran kami?”

“Temanku,” jawab biksu itu tanpa rasa malu. “Sepertinya begitu. Selama menit-menit ini aku bertemu dengan Buddha dan mendengarkan kata-kata bijak-Nya. Itulah mengapa aku mencoba tidur sebanyak yang aku bisa.
