| description | IN the Malaysian culture, pantun, as a form of nursery rhymes, are often used as a handy medium to inculcate
positive values among children.
Many such pantun revolve around the frogs, perhaps because it is a creature that can hop between two worlds
—land and water. This versatility makes them an interesting subject to convey important lessons.
For example:
Lesson 1: Lompat si katak lompat, lompat sesuka hati. Akibat berniat jahat, akhirnya memakan diri.
Like many other pantun, children can recite this one while acting it out by hopping like a frog. It can be fun as
the children try to outdo one another. That is, until someone tries to cheat with claims of having chalked up
greater distances. |
