The Crow and The Oyster

A hungry crow saw an oyster on the beach ore day. He wanted to eat the tasty meat inside the shell,'so he tried to open the oyster.

First, he used his beak, but he could not open the shell. Then, he hit it with a stone, but the shell stayed tightly shut. He even jumped up and down on the oyster, but still he could not open it.

Another crow came by. He saw what the first crow was trying to do and said, "My friend, may I offer you some good advice? I suggest that you pick up the oyster in your beak, fly high into the air, and then drop the oyster onto the wide rock below. The oyster shell will break open and you will be able to have your meal."

The hungry crow thought that it was a very good idea. He picked up the oyster with his beak, and then he flew as high as he could. When he was sure that he was high enough, he dropped the oyster onto a wide rock far below.

The oyster shell broke wide open. However, the other crow was waiting nearby, and he reached the broken oyster first. He enjoyed a tasty meal, while the hungry crow had nothing to eat.

What is the moral value of the story?
     A. Do not fly high on the sky
     B. It is not easy to fool anybody
     C. Always trust people who offer help
     D. Do not be fooled by people who offer help

Hai Binar, kakak bantu jawab ya.

Jawaban untuk soal ini adalah “D. Do not be fooled by people who offer help" (Jangan tertipu oleh orang yang menawarkan bantuan).

Dalam soal ini kamu diminta untuk memilih jawaban yang tepat berdasarkan teks tersebut.

Pertanyaannya, "What is the moral value of the story?" yang artinya "Apa nilai moral dari cerita tersebut?"

Dari cerita tersebut nilai moral yang dapat kita petik adalah jangan langsung percaya dengan tawaran bantuan orang lain. Sebaiknya kita juga pertimbangkan dulu sebelum mengikuti saran/bantuan dari orang lain apakah hal tersebut benar-benar baik/menguntungkan bagi kita atau sebaliknya. Seperti yang terjadi pada gagak tersebut yang dimanfaatkan oleh gagak lain dengan modus memberi saran tetapi ternyata ingin menipu dengan memanfaatkannya.

Oleh karena itu, jawaban yang benar adalah “D. Do not be fooled by people who offer help" (Jangan tertipu oleh orang yang menawarkan bantuan).

Semoga membantu ya.
