KENDI EMAS DAN ULAR Alkisah hiduplah sepasang suami istri yang sangat sederhana. Keduanya sangat merindukan anak namun Tuhan tidak mentakdirkan memiliki anak. Secara ekonomi, kedua petani sederhana itu jauh dari layak, sangat miskin sekali. Namun semangat untuk bekerja mereka luar biasa. .

“Ya Tuhan, turunkan kepada kami rejeki dari langit. Kami sudah bosan hidup miskin seperti ini” pinta pak petani dengan nada berharap. .

Setelah berdoa di rumah, ia pun bergegas ke ladang. Walau ladang orang lain, ia tetap bekerja sepenuh hati demi bertahan hidup. Sang istri kadang ke sawah membantu, dan kadang di rumah. .

“Apa tuh, kok ada benda jatuh dari langit ?” .

Pak petani itu kaget karena melihat sebuah benda jatuh ke sawah, tak jauh dari posisinya mencangkul. Karena penasaran, ia melihat sekeliling dan memastikan bahwa itu bukan perbuatan orang lain. .

“Benda apa ya? Kok aneh, tak ada angin dan hujan, tiba-tiba ada benda jatuh” .

Ia pun memeriksa benda itu yang ternyata jatuh diantara padi disawah. Ternyaa itu sebuah kendi. Kendi itu tidak pecah karena jatuh dilumpur sawah. Pak Petani berusaha memeriksa apa isi kendi itu. .

“Ya Tuhan ! Ternyata dalamnya logam emas !!! “ pekik petani itu kaget bukan kepalang. Ia mengintip dari lubang kendi dan memang benar ada beberapa keping logam emas murni. Hati nuraninya bertempur, antara diambil atau dibiarkan saja. .

“Ini kan ladang majikanku, apapun yang ada di ladangnya adalah miliknya, aku tak akan mencuri sesuatu yang bukan hakku” ujar sang petani itu sambil memegang kendi tanah liat yang berisi emas koin murni. .

Lalu karena dasarnya berhati baik sang petani itu tak jadi mengambil kendi yang berisi koin emas itu, lalu ia biarkan diposisi semula, di pojok sawah. Ia pun melanjutkan kerjanya, bercocok tanam di sawah itu. .

Ketika sampai di rumah, pak petani itu menceritakan pengalaman anehnya saat berada disawah. Istriya sangat terkejut dan agak marah karena menilai suaminya itu manusia terbodoh didunia. .

“Kenapa Bapak tak ambil saja kendi berisi koin emas itu?” .

“Jangan Bu, itu bukan hak kita. Segala sesuatu yang berada di tempat orang lain, apapun alasannya, tak boleh kita ambil. Itu bukan milik kita” nasehat suaminya yang memang sangat jujur dan taat pada ajaran agama. .

Diam-diam, ada seorang ibu yang kebetulan mendengar percakapan petani itu dari balik dinding rumah, dan sang ibu itu sangat tertarik untuk mengambil kendi di sawah itu. Karena sudah malam, ia mengajak suaminya untuk ke sawah, tempat biasanya pak petani itu bekerja. .

“Ayo Pak, kita cari kendi berisi koin emas itu, pasti masih ada di ladang , mumpung belum banyak orang tahu. Kan kita bisa langsung kaya Pak” .

“Iya juga ya, ayo ayo, mumpung bulan purnama, pasti tak terlalu gelap disawah. Bapak bawa senter juga” ujarnya sambil bernafsu untuk mengambil kendi itu. .

Sepanjang perjalanan, pasangan suami istri yang terkenal rakus itu tertawa tawa dan berkhayal, kelak ketika menemukan kendi berisi tumpukan koin emas itu, ia bisa membeli sawah, rumah dan dapat uang banyak. Nafsu duniawinya sudah menguasainya. .

“Dimana Bu kendinya, sawah seluas ini mana mungkin bisa kita telusuri, apalagi malam hari” .

“Yang saya dengar tadi, katanya tak jauh dari pohon beringin Pak, pas di pokok sawah. Tapi … itu kan dekat dengan kuburan Pak” ujar istrinya agak ketakutan. .

“Tenang saja Bu, kan ada Bapak, ayo kita ambil bersama” .

Keduanya lalu menuju pohon beringin yang kebetulan berdekatan dengan sawah. Setelah mencari beberapa lamanya, akhirnya pak petani berhati iri dan serakah itu menemukannya. .

“Bu, ini kendinya … ayo Bu kita pergi dari sini, kita buka di rumah saja” sarannya pada sang istri.

Keduanya pun bersorak sorai kegirangan. Tak terasa, sampailah ia di rumahnya namun malam sudah sangat larut. Karena tak sabar dan terbakar rasa penasaran, akhirnya kedua petani serakah itu membalikkan kendi itu. Dan apa yang keluar dari kendi itu? .

“Sialan ! kok isinya ular berbisa, mana koin emasnya Bu?” .

Keduanya sangat kecewa dan sangat marah, capek capek ke sawah dan mencari disana sini, akhirnya hanya menemukan kendi berisi ular berbisa. .

“Kita dikerjain Pak sama mereka, ayo Pak tutup lagi kendi itu dan taruh di depan pintu mereka, pasti besok mereka akan buka” usul sang istri yang juga sangat marah da terbakar balas dendam. .

Singkat cerita, suami istri yang dengki itu menaruh kendi didepan pintu dengan harapan akan dipatuk ular berbisa. Dan keduanya pun pergi dengan perasaan penuh kedengkian. .

Pagi harinya, pak petani yang berhanti bersih itu kaget, karena menemukan kendi didepan pintu rumahnya. Karena merasa berada di rumahnya sendiri, ia pun berani mengambil dan memeriksanya. .

“Ibu … saya menemukan kendi yang kemarin aku ceritakan itu di depan pintu rumah, ayo kita periksa bersama” .

“Aneh ya Pak, kok tiba tiba saja kendi yang berada di sawah itu ada di depan rumah, jangan-jangan malaikat yang mengantarkannya” .

Alangkah kagetnya kedua pasangan suami istri yang baik hati itu, karena isinya bukan hanya koin emas saja, tapi ada beberapa berlian besar dan indah. Dan sontak, sejak itu pula kedua pasangan suami istri itu langsung mendadak jadi kaya raya.

Apa pesan moral dari cerita diatas? Kadang dan bahkan sering kali, rejeki kita itu dibawa oleh orang yang membenci kita. Dan orang yang membenci kita tak sadar bahwa apa yang mereka lakukan untuk kita justru membuat diri kita makin baik, walau niat mereka sesungguhnya sangat jahat. .

Jadi, pesan bijaknya adalah selalu berprasangka baik pada semua orang, dan jadikan setiap keadaan, entah keadaan baik atau pun keadaan buruk, seperti jembatan menuju impian kita. Karena Tuhan sangat suka orang yang baik, dan akan selalu memberikan yang baik walau dari tangan orang-orang jahat.
