Ang Paghihiganti ng Pastol ng Pulut-Pukyutan Die Rache des Imkers The Revenge of the Beekeeper

Ito ang kuwento ni Ngede, ang Pastol ng Pulut-Pukyutan, at ni Gingile, isang binatang sakim. This is the story of Ngede, the Honey Bee Shepherd, and Gingile, a greedy young man. Isang araw, habang nangangaso si Gingile, narinig niya ang tawag ni Ngede. One day, while Gingile was hunting, he heard Ngede's call. Naglaway si Gingile sa posibilidad ng pulut-pukyutan. Gingile drooled at the prospect of honey. Tumigil siya at nakinig nang maigi, naghanap hanggang sa makita niya ang ibon sa sanga sa itaas. He stopped and listened carefully, searching until he saw the bird on the branch above. “Twit-twit-twit,” kalansing ng munting ibon habang nagpalipat-lipat siya ng puno. "Twit-twit-twit," chirped the little bird as he moved from tree to tree. “Twit, twit, twit,” tawag niya, paminsan-minsang tumitigil para siguraduhing nakasusunod si Gingile. "Twit, twit, twit," he called, occasionally stopping to make sure Gingile was following.

Makalipas ang kalahating oras, naabot nila ang isang malaki at masukal na puno ng igos. Half an hour later, they reached a large and dense fig tree. Masayang lumukso si Ngede sa mga sanga nito. Ngede happily jumped on its branches. Sa wakas ay nanatili siya sa isang sanga at tumingin kay Gingile na para bang gusto niyang sabihin, “Ito na! Finally he stayed on a branch and looked at Gingile as if to say, “This is it! Halika! Come on! Ano pa'ng hinihintay mo?” Walang makitang mga bubuyog si Gingile, pero pinagkatiwalaan niya si Ngede. What are you waiting for?” Gingile didn't see any bees, but he trusted Ngede.

Ibinaba ni Gingile ang kanyang sibat sa ilalim ng puno, nag-ipon ng mga tuyo at maliliit na sanga, at gumawa ng maliit na apoy. Gingile lowered his spear under the tree, gathered dry and small branches, and made a small fire. Nang nagliyab nang mabuti ang apoy, naglagay siya ng isang mahaba at tuyong patpat sa puso nito. When the fire was well lit, he put a long, dry stick into its heart. Kilala ang mga sangang ito sa paggawa ng malaking usok habang ito'y nasusunog. These branches are known for producing a large amount of smoke as they burn. Nag-umpisa siyang umakyat, hawak ang malamig-lamig na bahagi ng patpat sa kanyang mga ngipin. He began to climb, holding the cold part of the stick in his teeth.

Maya-maya ay narinig niya ang malakas na haging ng mga abalang bubuyog. Later he heard the loud buzzing of busy bees. Labas-pasok sila sa hungkag ng puno – ang kanilang pugad. They go in and out of the hollow of the tree – their nest. Nang maabot ni Gingile ang bahay-pukyutan, itinulak niya ang patpat na may usok sa hungkag. When Gingile reached the beehive, he pushed the stick with the smoke into the cavity. Naglabasan ang mga bubuyog, galit at buwisit. The bees came out, angry and buzzing. Lumipad sila palabas dahil ayaw nila ng usok – ngunit lumabas sila habang binibigyan ng masakit na kagat si Gingile! They flew out because they didn't want the smoke – but they came out while giving Gingile a painful bite!

Nang lumabas ang mga bubuyog, ipinasok ni Gingile ang kanyang mga kamay sa loob ng pugad. When the bees came out, Gingile put his hands inside the hive. Nakakuha siya ng isang dakot ng panilan na punung-puno ng pulut-pukyutan, at matataba at mapuputing uod. He got a handful of combs full of honey, and fat, white worms. Iningatan niyang ilagay ang pulut-pukyutan sa supot na dala niya sa kanyang balikat, at bumaba mula sa puno. He took care to put the honey in the bag he carried on his shoulder, and came down from the tree.

Nasaksihan ni Ngede ang lahat ng ginawa ni Gingile. Ngede witnessed everything Gingile did. Naghintay siyang maiwanan ng isang malaking piraso ng pulut-pukyutan bilang pasasalamat sa Pastol ng Pulut-Pukyutan. He waited to be left with a large piece of honey as a thank you to the Bee Shepherd. Humagibis siya sa mga sanga, papalapit nang papalapit sa lupa. He climbed the branches, getting closer and closer to the ground. Nang maabot ni Gingile ang ilalim ng puno, dumapo si Ngede sa isang bato malapit sa batang lalaki at naghintay sa kanyang gantimpala. When Gingile reached the bottom of the tree, Ngede perched on a rock near the boy and waited for his reward.

Ngunit pinatay ni Gingile ang apoy, pinulot ang kanyang sibat, at nag-umpisang maglakad pauwi nang hindi pinapansin ang ibon. But Gingile put out the fire, picked up his spear, and started walking home ignoring the bird. Galit na tawag ni Ngede, “BIK-torrr! Ngede called angrily, “BIK-torrr! BIK-torrr! BIK-torrr! !” Tumigil si Gingile, tinitigan ang munting ibon, at tumawa nang malakas. !” Gingile stopped, stared at the little bird, and laughed loudly. “Gusto mo ng pulut-pukyutan ano, kaibigan? "What do you want honey, friend? Ha! Ha! Pero ako ang naghirap para dito, at ako ang nakagat. But I was the one who worked hard for it, and I was the one who was bitten. Bakit ko ibabahagi ang kahit katiting ng masarap na pulut-pukyutan sa iyo?” At naglakad siya paalis. Why should I share even a little bit of delicious honey with you?” And he walked away. Galit na galit si Ngede! Ngede was furious! Hindi siya maaaring tratuhin ng ganoon! He can't be treated like that! Pero makakapaghiganti rin siya. But he can also take revenge.

Isang araw makalipas ang ilang linggo, muling narinig ni Gingile ang pantawag sa pulut-pukyutan ni Ngede. One day a few weeks later, Gingile heard Ngede's beehive call again. Naalala niya ang masarap na pulut-pukyutan at sabik na sinundang muli ang ibon. He remembered the delicious honey and eagerly went after the bird again. Matapos pangunahan si Gingile sa dulo ng kagubatan, nagpahinga si Ngede sa isang malaking payong na tinik. After leading Gingile to the edge of the forest, Ngede rested under a large thorn umbrella. “Ahh,” isip ni Gingile. "Ahh," thought Gingile. “Marahil ay nasa punong ito ang pugad.” Dali-dali siyang gumawa ng maliit na apoy at nag-umpisang umakyat, at nilagay ang patpat na pang-usok sa ngipin niya. "Perhaps the nest is in this tree." He quickly made a small fire and began to climb, and put the smoking stick in his teeth. Naupo at nanood si Ngede. Ngede sat and watched.

Umakyat si Gingile, nagtataka kung bakit hindi niya marinig ang karaniwang haging. Gingile went up, wondering why he couldn't hear the usual screeching. “Baka nasa looban ng puno ang bahay-pukyutan,” isip niya. "Maybe the beehive is in the courtyard of the tree," he thought. Itinulak niya ang sarili niya sa isang sanga. He pushed himself against a branch. Pero sa halip na bahay-pukyutan, nakita niya ang sarili niyang nakatitig sa mukha ng isang leopardo! But instead of a beehive, he found himself staring into the face of a leopard! Galit na galit si Leopardo dahil naudlot ang tulog niya. Leopardo was very angry because his sleep was interrupted. Nagdilim ang kanyang paningin, at binuksan ang kanyang bibig para ilabas ang kanyang napakalaki at napakatalas na mga ngipin. His vision darkened, and his mouth opened to reveal his huge and very sharp teeth.

Bago pa man mahagupit ni Leopardo si Gingile, dali-dali siyang bumaba mula sa puno. Before Leopardo could hit Gingile, he quickly got down from the tree. Sa kanyang pagmamadali ay hindi siya nakaapak sa isang sanga, bumagsak siya lupa, at napihit ang bukung-bukong. In his haste he missed a branch, fell to the ground, and sprained his ankle. Dali-dali siyang umika. He sobbed quickly. Sa kabutihang palad, masyadong antok na si Leopardo para habulin siya. Fortunately, Leopardo was too sleepy to chase after him. Nakuha ni Ngede, ang Pastol ng Pulut-Pukyutan, ang kanyang paghihiganti. Ngede, the Shepherd of the Honey-Bees, gets his revenge. At may natutunang aral si Gingile. And Gingile learned a lesson.

At dahil diyan, iginagalang ng mga anak ni Gingile si Ngede, ang munting ibon, sa tuwing maririnig nila ang kuwentong ito. And because of that, Gingile's children respect Ngede, the little bird, whenever they hear this story. Sa tuwing maga-ani sila ng pulut-pukyutan, sinisigurado nilang iiwan nila ang pinakamalaking bahagi nito para sa Pastol ng Pulut-Pukyutan! Whenever they harvest honey, they make sure to leave the largest portion of it for the Beekeeper!
