The Golden Cucumber
Once upon a time, near a jungle, lived a
farmer couple, a husband and a wife. Every day they prayed for a child.
One night, while they were praying, a giant
passed by their home. The giant heard them pray and said:“Don’t worry. I can help
you. But you must give me the child to me on her 17th birthday.”They were so
happy and agreed to the condition set by the giant. The giant gave them a few
of cucumber seeds. The farmers took the seeds and planted them.Soon enough, the
cucumber plants grew and a big golden cucumber grew in the plants. The farmers
plucked the ripened cucumber and cut it open. They were astonished to see a
beautiful child inside the cucumber. They named her Timun Mas (Golden
Cucumber). The couple were so happy. They rise Timun Mas into a beautiful girl
with loving care.Time passed and Timun was almost 17 years old. They knew they
had to keep their promise to the giant but they also did not want to lose their
beloved daughter. They called Timun Mas and said:
“My daughter, take this bag. It can save you
from the giant,” said the father.
“What giant? What do you mean, Father? I don’t
understand,” said Timun Mas. The farmers narrated the story of her birth to
Timun Mas.
Right then, the giant entered their house.
“Run Timun Mas. Save your life!” said the
mother.
The giant grew angry when he heard this. Timun
Mas had started running. He ran after her. Timun Mas looked behind and saw that
the giant was getting closer and closer.
She opened the bag and threw a handful of salt
at him. It became a sea. The giant had to swim to cross the sea. When she saw
that the giant was nearing her again, she opened the bag and threw some chilies
in his path. The chilies grew and formed a jungle blocking his way. The sharp
thorns on the trees hurt the giant.
However he cut away the trees and continued
chasing Timun Mas. Timun Mas took her third magic stuff. It was cucumber seeds.
She threw them and they turned into a cucumber field. The giant’s legs were
tangled in the cucumber creepers and he kept falling down.
Still the giant managed to escape and
continued running after Timun Mas. Timun searched her bag again. She had one
last magic stuff in the bag. It was a terasi ( shrimp paste ). She threw it at
him and the terasi turned into a big swamp.
The giant tried to swim across the swamp. But
he was too tired by now and drowned in the. Seeing that the giant had died,
Timun Mas went back home. Timun’s parents were happy to see their daughter
return and the family was finally together again.
