It's been done before. Here is one. Some of the other ones appear to be lost. jan Sonja has a translation to English.

Here is a daoist story that seems easy to translate to toki pona:

jan li tawa pali. jan li pali e pakala li anpa lon telo anpa pi linja telo. jan ni li nasa li pali ala. ni li sama ni: jan li wile ala utala e telo. lili la jan li tawa li kama lon ma li moli ala.

jan mute li lukin e ni. jan li wile sona e ni: "sina moli ala tan seme? tenpo pini lili la sina utala ala e telo." jan nasa li toki e ni: "mi utala e telo la kin la telo li moli e mi."

"A Taoist story tells of an old man who accidentally fell into the river rapids leading to a high and dangerous waterfall. Onlookers feared for his life. Miraculously, he came out alive and unharmed downstream at the bottom of the falls. People asked him how he managed to survive. "I didn't struggle," he said. "I accommodated myself to the water and just went with its flow."

[janKipo]

Maybe 'tawa ma' rather than 'lon' (which says he was already on land when he came)
But this story is hardly DDJ.
