Why Bats Fly at Night? (Malaysia Folktale)

In a jungle lived a bat which liked to keep to itself. In the beginning, it did not want to mix with the other creatures. After some time, however, it felt lonely; so ti came out in search of friends.

“I should join the land creatures, since I do not live in the air,” the bat decided. So it met the head of the land creatures, King Elephant.

“You can be a member of our group,” said King Elephant. “However, you must help us if we get into any difficulty.”

The bad agreed.

At that time the flying creadtures and the land animals were at war. The bat helped his new friends and they eventually won.

A few days later, there was another fight. However, the bad had a change of heart. It no longer wanted to help the land creatures.

So the bat went to see the head of the air creatures, King Eagle. King Eagle agreed but the bat was to help them fight against the land creatures. With the bat’s help, the air creatures won. The bat was praised for his efforts.

As time passed, the bat felt lonely for it could not keep up with the air creatures. It remembered its earlier friends, the land animals. It went to see King Elephant. Unfortunately for the bat, King Elephant remembered its treachery and refused to allow it to play with the land animals.

The bat felt very sad because it no longer had any friends. Ashamed to show itself, it returned to its cave and decided to come out only at night to look for food.

That is why to this day, the bat can be seen only at night.
