Folklore and Fairy Tales: The Mouse Deer and the Tiger
Kancil Story
The Kancil Stories or the tales of Sang Kancil are the compilation of traditional folklore
about a clever Kancil. It is a popular fables children story in Malay and Javanese culture
in Malaysia and Indonesia. A weak and small yet cunning figure, the Sang Kancil (mouse deer)
uses its intelligent advantage to triumph over beings more powerful than itself.
The protagonist of the story is the Kancil, a smart and sly mouse deer.
He can fool the other animals to escape from trouble. The Kancil story is very famous
in Malaysia and Indonesia, comics and cartoons often based on the Kancil story.
This folklore character is similar to the American figure Br'er Rabbit.

10. Sang Kancil
A major figurehead of Malaysian folklore, the Kancil (mouse deer) uses his intelligence
in getting out of sticky situations.
While not the most ethical of forest fauna, the books on Sang Kancil nevertheless give readers
a lesson in using wit to overcome seemingly impossible obstacles.
When not busy tricking hungry crocodiles or fooling ferocious tigers, Sang Kancil makes
guest appearances in children’s series, toys and other educational materials.
Br'er Rabbit
Br'er Rabbit /ˈbrɛər/ (Brother Rabbit), also spelled Bre'r Rabbit or Brer Rabbit or Bruh Rabbit,
is a central figure as Uncle Remus tells stories of the Southern United States. Br'er Rabbit is
a trickster who succeeds by his wits rather than by brawn, provoking authority figures and bending
social mores as he sees fit. The Walt Disney Company later adapted this character for its 1946
animated motion picture Song of the South.
