Seharian ini, Dara iri hati pada Perkutut. Dara merasa jatah jagungnya lebih sedikit dibandingkan dengan Perkutut. Dara menganggap pemiliknya sudah tak menyayanginya lagi.

"Pemilikku lebih sayang Perkutut"

All day, Dara jealous of Perkutut. Dara feel less rations of corn compared to Perkutut. Dara assume their owners no longer love him.

"My owner is more fond of Perkutut

batin Dara sambil memperhatikan sang pemilik yang lebih banyak memberikan jagung di tempat makan Perkutut. Dara pun sedih.

Ingin rasanya ia kabur dari sangkar. Tapi ia tak mau melakukannya, karena esok ada perlombaan balap Dara yang harus diikuti. Ia pun bertekad memenangi perlombaan agar bisa membanggakan pemiliknya.

Dara thought as he watched the owner giving more corn to the Perkutut dining area. Dara are sad.

He wanted to run away from the cage. But he did not want to do it, because tomorrow there is a Dara race that must be followed. He was determined to win the race in order to be proud of its owner.

Tiba-tiba, Dara mendengar suara di kebun mentimun di belakang rumah. Ia melihat Kancil yang hendak mengambil buah mentimun.

“Maaf, aku lapar. Nanti aku bawa bijinya sebgai ganti,” kata Kancil pelan.

"Kancil…” panggil Dara.

Suddenly, Dara heard a voice in the cucumber garden behind the house. He saw a mouse deer who was about to take a cucumber.

"Mouse Deer ... "called Dara.

"Sorry, I'm hungry. "I will bring the seeds in exchange," said Mouse Deer slowly.

“Bukan itu, aku butuh saranmu,” kata Dara.

Kancil lalu mendekati sangkar Dara. Dara menceritakan kegundahan yang sedang dirasakannya. Dengan seksama Kancil mendengarkan keluh kesah Dara.

Mouse Deer then approached Dara cage. Dara tells the anxiety he was felling. Carefully hare listening to the complaints of Dara.

"That's not it, I need your advice," said Dara.

Selesai Dara bercerita, Kancil memberi saran.

"Jangan begitu Dara, mungkin pemilikmu tak mau kamu terlalu gemuk."

"Memangnya kenapa kalau aku jadi gemuk nanti?"

"Nanti terbangmu lambat."

After Dara's story, Mouse Deer gave advice.

"Don't be so Dara, maybe your owner doesn't want you to be too fat."

"So what if I get fat later?"

"You will fly slowly later."

Dara menggeleng. "Itu tak mungkin. Aku malah bisa terbang lebih cepat," kata Dara dengan sombongnya.

Kancil hanya tersenyum lalu beranjak pergi. Namun, Dara mencegahnya.

"Kancil kamu hendak kemana?"

"Kembali ke hutan. Aku kan sudah memberi saran seperti maumu."

"Mouse Deer, where are you going?"

Dara shook her head. "That"s impossible. I can fly even faster." said the Dara with arrogance.

Mouse Deer just smiled then moved away. However, Dara prevented it.

"Back to the forest. I already gave advice as you wish."

"Aku mau makan lebih banyak jagung seperti Perkutut."

"Bukan itu saran yang ku mau."

"Lalu apa keinginananmu?"

Kancil berpikir sejenak. Lalu berkata,"Kamu makan di sangkarnya Perkutut."

"I want to eat more corn like a Perkutut."

"That's not the advice I want."

"Then what do you want?"

Mouse Deer thought for a mooment. Then say,"You eat at Perkutut's cage."

"Caranya??"

"Kamu bujuk Perkutut supaya ia mau bertukar sangkar saat makan jagung.

Dara mengangguk. Kancil pun pamit pergi.

"How??"

"You persuaded Perkutut so that he would exchange cages when eating corn."

The Dara nodded. Mouse Deer left goodbye.
