Source text - English And a Man sat alone, drenched deep in sadness. And all the animals drew near to him and said, “We do not like to see you so sad. Ask us for whatever you wish and you shall have it.” The Man said, “I want to have good sight.” The vulture replied, “You shall have mine.” The Man said, “I want to be strong.” The jaguar said, “You shall be strong like me.” Then the Man said, “I long to know the secrets of the earth.” The serpent replied, “I will show them to you.” And so it went with all the animals. And when the Man had all the gifts that they could give, he left. Then the owl said to the other animals, “Now the Man knows much, he’ll be able to do many things. Suddenly I am afraid.” The deer said, “The Man has all that he needs. Now his sadness will stop.” But the owl replied, “No. I saw a hole in the Man, deep like a hunger he will never fill. It is what makes him sad and makes him want. He will go on taking and taking, until one day the world will say, “I am no more and I have nothing left to give.”
Translation - Indonesian Ada seorang Manusia yang sedang duduk sendiri, larut dalam kesedihan yang mendalam. Binatang yang berada di sekitarnya kemudian mendekat dan berkata, “Kami tidak suka melihatmu begitu bersedih. Mintalah apa saja dan kami akan memberikannya.” Kemudian manusia itu menjawab, “Aku ingin memiliki pengelihatan yang tajam.” Burung nazar kemudian berkata, “Akan kuberikan penglihatanku” Manusia berkata kembali, “Aku ingin menjadi kuat.” Macan menjawab “Kau akan menjadi kuat sepertiku.” Lalu Manusia berkata, “Aku ingin sekali mengetahui rahasia-rahasia alam.” Ular lalu membalas, “Akan kutunjukkan rahasia-rahasia itu kepadamu.” dan begitu seterusnya hingga semua binatang memberikan keistimewaan yang dimilikinya. Dan begitu Manusia telah menerima semua pemberian yang bisa ia miliki, lalu ia pun pergi. Namun burung hantu kemudian berkata pada binatang lain, “Sekarang Manusia tahu banyak dan ia dapat melakukan banyak hal. Tiba-tiba aku takut.” Rusa kemudian berkata, “Ia telah memiliki semua yang ia butuhkan. Sekarang ia tidak akan bersedih lagi” Namun burung hantu menjawab, “Bukan itu maksudku. Aku melihat ada sebuah kekosongan dalam dirinya, seperti rasa lapar yang tidak pernah terpuaskan. Hal itulah yang membuat ia bersedih dan menginginkan sesuatu. Ia akan mengambil dan terus mengambil hingga tiba suatu hari Alam akan berkata, “Aku sudah tidak ada lagi dan tidak ada lagi yang tersisa untuk diberikan.”
