Sang Kancil mengidam untuk makan daging Rusa. Dia yang kecil tidak mampu berbuat apa-apa. Lalu dimintanya bantuan Harimau. Disuruhnya Harimau berpura-pura mati. Apabila semua haiwan datang, Kancil memberikan isyarat. Harimau lalu menerkam ke tengkuk Rusa. Daging dibahagi dua, kemudian disalai bersama. Ketika Kancil tidur, taringnya tidak boleh disentuh, tetapi Harimau ingkar. Apabila Harimau tidur, Kancil telah makan sehingga habis bahagian daging Rusa milik Harimau. Lalu bahagian Harimau diganti dengan kulit kayu.

Sang Kancil really wants to eat venison but he is small and unable to hunt. He asks help from Tiger, telling him to play dead. When the animals arrive, Kancil then gives a signal and Tiger pounces and kills Deer. The meat is then divided into two parts and smoked. While Kancil is sleeping, his fangs must not be touched, but Tiger refuses to listen. Then when Tiger falls asleep, Kancil eats up Tiger's share of the vension and replaces it with the bark of the tree.
