JAKA TARUB DAN PENGGEMBALA KAMBING

Di suatu kampung, Jaka Tarub bertemu seorang gembala dengan kambing-kambingnya. Jaka pun bertanya.

"Pak, boleh nanya nih?"

"Oh, boleh, boleh."

"Kambing-kambing bapak sehat sekali. Bapak kasih makan apa?"

"Yang mana dulu nih? Yang hitam atau yang putih?

"Hm, yang hitam dulu deh."

"Oh, kalau yang hitam, saya kasih makan rumput basah."

"Gitu ya? Kalau yang putih?"

"Yang putih, rumput basah juga."

"Terus, kambing-kambing itu kuat berjalan berapa kilo, Pak?"

"Yang mana dulu nih? Yang hitam atau yang putih?

"Hm, yang hitam dulu deh."

"Oh, kalau yang hitam 4 km sehari."

"Gitu ya? Kalau yang putih?"

"Yang putih, 4 km juga."

Jaka mulai jengkel, tapi Ia terus bertanya.

"Tiap tahunnya kambing-kambing ini menghasilkan bulu berapa banyak, Pak?"

"Yang mana dulu nih? Yang hitam atau yang putih?

"Yang hitam dulu deh." sahut Jaka meski masih jengkel.

"Oh, kalau yang hitam sekitar 10 kg pertahun."

"Kalau yang putih?"

"Yang putih, 10 kg juga."

Akhirnya Jaka tidak dapat menahan marahnya.

"Bapak ini kenapa sih selalu ngebedain kambing-kambing ini? Padahal jawabannya sama saja!"

"Oh, gini, Dek. Soalnya yang hitam itu punya saya."

"Gitu ya, Pak? Maaf tadi saya rada marah. Lha kalau yang putih?"

"Yang putih, ya punya saya juga."
