Don't like to be insulted
In a rambutan tree there live a variety of animals that want to find food. They are looking for foods that are adaptive in the rambutan tree. There are those who seek to drink from the water in the tops of leaves, some are also looking for honey in rambutan flowers.
In between the shade of rambutan tree, there lived a baby caterpillar whose feathers were very long and sharp. The caterpillar named Ale. Ale does not have friends or relatives who can be invited to joke or share stories every day. But Ale is still happy and enjoying all of God's creations.
In the morning, which had started to clear, dew was still dripping from rambutan leaves. all animals try to get food and drink. Ale is looking for a drink in the remnants of fresh morning dew. Then eating the leaves of rambutan with hungrily.
"Hey, Ale. What are you doing?" Greet Leo the ant.
"I'm eating, Leo!" Ale replied kindly.
"You ugly and disgusting animal. Your fur makes itchy whoever is near you. You make the scenery of the rambutan tree ugly. You better get away from this," Leo mocked Ale with painful words.
Ale is not angry or even mocking Leo because Leo knows all of them are God's creations to be grateful for.
"Leo, you really are manly with a strong body color. And I am like this. But this is all God's creation that we are obliged to be grateful for," Ale replied kindly.
Not long after, a ladybug and bee came with a beetle.
"Hey, Beetle ...! Hey, Bumblebee ...! I was going to look for nectar here. But I found Ale, the ugly caterpillar here. I no longer have an appetite," Leo answered arrogantly.
"You should be grateful. And you don't need to make fun of me. That is not commendable," Ale replied calmly and remained friendly.
"You're ugly still ugly," the beetle joined in mocking Ale.
Ale is very sad to see the behavior of all animal dwellers. But he was sure one day they would change. Ale continues to eat the leaves of rambutan leaves hungrily, so that they are full and can do activities comfortably.
A few minutes after that, Ale heard a cry for help. Then Ale carefully listened to the scream which turned out to be Leo the ant's scream.
"Help me ...! Help me ...! Ladybug ... Bumblebee ... Help me ...!" Shouted Leo, who was getting louder.
Ale approached and wanted to know what was happening to the ant. But not yet seen. Then, Ale again advances to longer branches. Now Ale knew it was being sandwiched between a rambutan tree branch.
Ale saw beetles and ladybugs just flying around confused not knowing what to do.
"I can't take it anymore. Please help me ...," Leo answered with his cry that was louder.
Ale immediately approached Leo. Leo doesn't want to be helped by the caterpillar.
"Leo, I want to help you because I feel sorry for your suffering."
"Don't ...! I'm afraid your feathers will make me itch. I don't want to ...!" Leo cried harder.
Ale explains that his fur only itches when he uses it to attack. As long as it is not used to attack and protect itself, the feathers will remain soft.
"All right," Leo said then.
Ale then bit the stem that pinned Leo. The stem can break and Leo is released from the clothespin. Ale then carried Leo to a safe place.
Leo is not even the slightest eye.
Leo finally survived and regretted insulting Ale all this time. They finally make friends and live together without insulting each other.
