THE MOUSEDEER AND THE CROCODILES: A MALAYSIAN FOLKTALE IN 100 LANGUAGES (SECOND EDITION) by Hans Volker Wolf Looi Wai Ling Stefanie Pillai Adriana Phillip ( Author )
One morning, somewhere in the jungle, a mousedeer was happily wandering under the trees, when it came to a river. Looking around, it discovered a jambu-apple tree covered with ripe, rosy-red fruit on the other side of the river. “Mmmh, isn’t that just what I was craving for!” it thought… The Faculty of Languages and Linguistics, Universiti Malaya celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2022. There is no better story to symbolise the wisdom and sagacity of education over physical prowess than the Malay fable of the Mousedeer and the Crocodiles! This anthology illustrates the humorous Malay narrative of the story of Sang Kancil and the Crocodiles in 100 languages. Oral origins guided the translators into an exciting expression within their own different cultures.
