A long time ago, lived an old women named Mbok Surti. She lived by herself because her husband had long passed away and she had no children. Every day, she prayed so God would give her a child. One night, when she was praying, a giant passed her house and heard her pray. “I can give you a child on one condition,” the giant said to Mbok Surti, “You must give the child back to me when it is six years old.” Mbok Surti was so happy; she did not think about the risk of losing the child later and agreed to take the giant’s offer. The giant then gave her a bunch of cucumber seeds. “Plant it around your house.”
The giant then left without saying anything else. In the morning, Mbok Surti planted the seeds. The seeds grew within mere days, and blossomed plentifully.Not longer after that, a big golden cucumber grew from plants. Carefully, Mbok Surti plucked the golden cucumber and carried it home. With caution and care, she sliced the cucumber. She was very surprised to see a beautiful baby girl inside the cucumber. She then named the baby Timun Emas (it means Golden Cucumber).Years passed by and Timun Emas has grew to become a lovely and beautiful little girl.
She was also smart and kind. Mbok Surti loved her very much. But she kept thinking about the time the giant would take Timun Emas away from her. One night, Mbok Surti had a dream. In order to save Timun Emas from the giant, she had to meet the holy man who
lived in Mount Gundul. The next morning, Mbok Surti took leave of Timun Emas to go to Mount Gundul. The holy man then gave her four little bags, each one containing cucumber seeds, needles, salt, and shrimp paste. “Timun Emas can use these to protect herself,” said the holy man to Mbok Surti.
A few days later, the giant came to see Mbok Surti about her promise. “Mbok Surti! Where is Timun Emas?” shouted the giant. “My daughter, take these bag with you. It can save
from the giant. Now, run through the back door,” said Mbok Surti. But the giant saw Timun Emas running to the woods. The giant was angry. Starved and enraged, he rushed toward Timun Emas.
Mbok Surti tried to stop him, but the giant was unstoppable.The giant was getting closer and closer, so Timun Emas opened the first bag she got from Mbok Surti. Inside the bag were cucumber seeds. She threw the seeds, and instantly they grew into large cucumber field. But the giant ate them all, giving him more strength. As the giant was getting close, Timun Emas took the second bag with needles inside and spilled the content behind her.
The needles turned into bamboo trees, sharp and thorny. The giant’s body was scratched and bled. “Aaargh, I’ll get you, Timun Emas!” shouted the giant as he tried to get himself out from the bamboo field. He made it and still chasing Timun Emas.
Timun Emas then reached the third bag and spilled the salt inside. The ground which the salt touched turned into a deep sea. The giant almost drown and had to swim to cross the sea. After some time, he managed to get out from the water. Timun Emas saw the giant coming, so she reached for the last bag. She took the shrimp paste and threw it. The shrimp paste became a big swamp of boiling mud. The giant was trapped in the middle of the swamp. The mud slowly but surely drowned him. Helpless, he roared out, “Help! Heeeeelp…!” Then the giant drown and died. Timun Mas then immediately went home. Since then, Timun Emas and Mbok Surti live happily ever after.***
