Text 3 (Timun Mas)

This tale brings us to the mystical island of Java Indonesia. There was a widow named Mbok Srini
that lived alone on her farm. The widow was a kindly woman and she was overwhelmed by
loneliness and longed to have a child by her side.
When her loneliness became too much to bear, Mbok Srini decided to pray to Butho Ijo for help.
Butho Ijo was a monstrous ogre who lived on the outskirts of the village and was known to
occasionally grant wishes to people. The monster offered to grant Mbok Srini's wish at a terrible
price."When the child turns six years old, you will return her to me to become my meal", he said.
Despite the condition, the desperate woman agreed to his demand. The
giant then gave a single cucumber seed to be planted at her farm. In two
weeks, the cucumber started to bear fruit. In among them, there was one
which was which was larger than the rest that emitted a golden radiance.
Splitting it carefully, Mbok Srini found a beautiful baby girl inside. Filled
with joy, she named the girl Timun Emas. Alas, she had come to love her
daughter over the years and couldn't bear to lose Timun Emas. And yet,
she would never be able to stand up to the powerful ogre.
Desperate for help, she journeyed to Gunom Kidul, the southern mountain to seek advice from a
powerful hermit. After hearing her plight, the hermit presented Mbok Srini, the four small
pouches."Give these to Timun Emas. They will help your daughter against the monster" the
hermit told her. The day finally arrived when the ogre came to Mbok Srini's house eager for her
to fulfill her promise. "Where is my meal?!" said Butho Ijo. Mbok Srini asked Timun Mas to run
away and bring the pockets. "Hey" called Timun Mas while running from Butho Ijo. For hours the
monster chased after Timun Emas and Butho Ijo steady getting closer.
Remembering her mother's advice, she threw the first of the pouches bag of cucumber seeds at
the monster. Vines of cucumber magically sprang from the earth and blocking Butho Ijo's path.
The ogre enticed by the fruit, stopped on its tracks to gorge on them. It wasn't long before he
ate them all and resume his chase. Just as the monster was about to catch up Timun Emas, she
threw the second gift, the small bag of needles at him. The dense forest of shack bamboo trees
appeared where the needles had fallen trapping Butho Ijo. The giant ogre went through first to
the bamboo trees wounded and enridged.
Once more, as he near to Timun Emas, she tossed the third pouch full of salt at the monster,
hoping to slow him down. Suddenly, an embracing and powerful torn to seek forming a giant
wave which swept the ogre off his feet. Butho Ijo wanted more than ever to catch this little girl
who troubled him.
Timun Emas had nowhere left to run and in her hand, she held the last of the hermit's gifts. She
hurled the small bag as hard as she could at the monster. The bag containing spice transformed
into a boiling sea of mud burning Butho Ijo's skin. The monster struggled in the mud he shrieked
and howled in pain and then, all was silent.
Timun Emas had finally stopped Butho Ijo. She returned back to her mother. Her mother was
very happy and realized asked something to monstruous creature was a bad thing. After that,
they lived happily ever.
