Once upon a time, not far from a jungle, lived
husband and a wife. They were farmers. They were diligent farmers and always
worked hard on the paddy fields. They had been married for many years and still
not have a child yet. Every day they prayed and prayed for a child.
One night, while they were praying, Buto Ijo a
giant with supranatural powers passed their house. He heard they pray.
"Don't worry farmers. I can give you a child. But you have to give me that
child when she is 17 years old," said Buto Ijo. The farmers were so happy.
They did not think about the risk of losing their child letter and agree to
take the offer. Later, Buto Ijo gave them a bunch of cucumber seeds. The
farmers planted them carefully. Then the seeds changed into plants. No longer
after that, a big golden cucumber grew from plants. After it had ripe, the
farmers picked and cut it. They were very surprised to see beautiful girl
inside the cucumber. They named her Timun Mas or Golden Cucumber. Years passed
by and Timun Mas has changed into a beautiful girl. On her 17th birthday, Timun
Mas was very happy.
However, the parents were very sad. They knew
they had to keep their promise to Buto Ijo the giant but they also did not want
to lose their beloved daughter. "My daughter, take this bag. It can save
you from the giant," said father. "What do you mean, Father? I don't
understand," said Timun Mas.
Right after that, Buto Ijo came into their
house. "Run Timun Mas. Save your life!" said the mother. Buto ijo was
angry. He knew the farmers wanted to break their promise. He chased Timun Mas
away. Buto Ijo was getting closer and closer. Timun Mas then opened the bag and
threw a handful of salt. It became sea. Buto Ijo had to swim to cross the sea.
Later, Timun Mas threw some chilly. It became a jungle with trees. The trees
had sharp thorns so they hurt Buto Ijo. However, he was still able to chase
Timun Mas. Timun Mas took her third magic stuff. It was cucumber seeds. She
threw them and became cucumber field. But Buto Ijo still could escape from the
field. Then it was the last magic stuff she had in the bag. It was a shrimp
paste or terasi. She threw it and became a big swamp. Buto Ijo was still
trying to swim the swamp but he was very tired. Then he was drowning and died.
Timun Mas then immediately went home. The
farmers were so happy that they finally together again.
