This is my favorite cartoon which was shown on TV more than 20 years ago.  The funniest part is where the monkey eats the chilies, and then he blows fire out of his ears and mouth because the chillies are too hot.

This is what the story is about.

Once in a beautiful and peaceful wood, there lived Sang Kancil, a very clever mousedeer with his best friend, Kura-kura, the tortoise.  One day, as the monkey was swinging happily in the wood, he saw an orchard full of delicious and juicy fruits.  The orchard belonged to Sang Kancil and Kura-kura and they worked hard every day.  All of a sudden, the greediness in the monkey surfaced and he thought of an idea.  He shouted “Tolong! Tolong!”, which means “Help! Help!” and pretended that he has not been eating for four days.  Sang Kancil and Kura-kura sympahtized him and told him that he could eat any fruits that he wanted from their orchard.  The monkey was extremely happy and excited.  He turned and saw a chili tree and said that he wanted to eat them.  However, Sang Kancil and Kura-kura warned him that those type of fruit cannot be eaten.  Despite their warning, the monkey went ahead and grab a whole bunch of chillies and gulped all of them down his throat.  Within seconds, smoke came out of his ears followed by fire from both his mouth and ears because the chillies were too hot!

The message that this story delivers is not to be too greedy and we should always consider good advices from our friends.

This short film is made by Filem Negara Malaysia (National Film of Malaysia) in the Malay language, hope that you will enjoy it.  It might bring up some old memories if you have watched it in the 1980’s.
