Adapted Version
Di dekat gunung yang tinggi, ada Lembu Sura. Dia besar. Dia kuat. Dan dia jaga gunung itu.
Gunung itu besar. Gunung itu tinggi. Gunung itu sangat indah. Pohon hijau ada di sini sana. Langit di atas biru. Air sungai pelan dan tenang.
Lembu Sura punya muka mirip sapi. Mata dia besar dan baik. Tanduk dia hitam dan bagus. Dia kuat. Tapi dia baik.
Dia jaga gunung tiap hari. Dia jaga pohon hijau. Dia jaga hewan kecil. Burung nyanyi tiap pagi. Lembu Sura senang. Gunung itu rumah dia.
Lembu Sura punya satu teman. Teman itu datang ke gunung. Dia dan teman main sama. Dia dan teman ketawa. Teman itu sudah janji ke dia. Janji itu sangat penting. Lembu Sura yakin. Dia senang punya teman.
Tapi suatu hari, teman itu pergi. Teman itu tidak kembali. Janji itu sudah rusak. Lembu Sura menunggu. Dia menunggu lama. Tapi teman itu tidak datang.
Lembu Sura duduk di dekat gunung. Hati dia sakit. Mata dia basah. Dia sangat sedih. Gunung itu sepi sekarang. Janji itu sudah hilang. Lembu Sura sendiri.
Lembu Sura berdiri. Dia sangat sedih. Hati dia sangat berat.
Dia hentak kaki ke tanah. DUUM! DUUM! DUUM! Tanah itu getar. Pohon hijau goyang.
Dia hentak kaki lagi. DUUM! DUUM! Batu kecil jatuh. Tanah getar lagi. Gunung tahu dia sedih.
Lembu Sura menangis. Air mata dia jatuh. Dia hentak kaki terus. DUUM! DUUM! Hewan kecil lari. Burung terbang tinggi.
Gunung itu tahu dia sedih. Gunung itu sedih juga. Gunung bunyi keras. GRRRR. Asap naik ke langit.
Gunung itu menangis. Gunung menangis juga. Langit jadi abu-abu. Tapi tidak ada yang luka. Gunung itu hanya sedih.
Orang di dekat gunung belajar. Kita harus tepati janji. Janji rusak buat semua sedih.
Lalu suatu hari, gunung tenang. Asap sudah hilang. Langit biru lagi. Pohon hijau lagi. Burung nyanyi lagi. Sungai tenang lagi.
Lembu Sura menunggu. Dia menunggu janji yang baik. Semua menunggu juga. Mungkin suatu hari, dia senang lagi.
