    TIMUN MAS

    Along time ago in the island of Java, Indonesia, lived a couple of


    farmer.
    Dahulu kala Pulau tinggallah Sepasang
    petani
    They had married for some years but they had no children.

    So they prayed to a monster called Buta Ijo to give them children.


    Buta Ijo was a ferocious and powerful monster. He granted
    their wish on one condition. When their children had grown up, they had
    to sacrifice them to Buta Ijo. He liked eating fresh meat of human
    being. The farmers agreed to his condition. Several months later the
    wife was pregnant.
    She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. They named her Timun
    Mas. The farmers were happy.
    Timun Mas was very healthy and a very smart girl. She was
    also very diligent. When she was a teenager Buta Ijo came to their
    house. Timun Mas was frightened so she ran away to hide. The
    farmers then told Buta Ijo that Timun Emas was still a child. They asked
    him to postpone. Buta Ijo agreed. He promised to come again. The
    following year Buta Ijo came again. But again and again their parents
    said that Timun Mas was still a child.
    When the third time Buta Ijo came their parents had prepared
    something for him. They gave Timun Mas several bamboo needles,
    seeds of cucumber, dressing and salt.
    ‘Timun, take these things’
    ‘What are these things?’
    ‘These are your weapons. Buta Ijo will chase you. He will eat you alive.
    So run as fast as you can. And if he will catch you spread this to the
    ground. Now go!’
    Timun Mas was scared so she ran as quickly as she could.
    When Buta Ijo arrived she was far from home. He was very angry when
    he realized that his prey had left. So he ran to chase her. He had a
    sharp nose so he knew what direction his prey ran.
    Timun Mas was just a girl while Buta Ijo was a monster so he
    could easily catch her up. When he was just several steps behind Timun
    Mas quickly spread the seeds of cucumber. In seconds they turned into
    many vines of cucumber. The exhausted Buta Ijo was very thirsty so he
    grabbed and ate them. When Buta Ijo was busy eating cucumber Timun
    Emas could run away.
    But soon Buta Ijo realized and started running again. When he
    was just several steps behind Timun Mas threw her bamboo needles.
    Soon they turned into dense bamboo trees. Buta Ijo found it hard to
    pass. It took him some time to break the dense bamboo forest.
    Meanwhile Timun Mas could run farther. Buta Ijo chased her again.
    When he almost catch her again and again Timun Mas threw her
    dressing. This time it turned into a lake. Buta Ijo was busy to save
    himself so Timun Mas ran way. But Buta Ijo could overcome it and
    continued chasing her.
    Finally when Timun Mas was almost caught she threw her salt.
    Soon the land where Buta Ijo stood turned into ocean. Buta Ijo was
    drowned and died instantly. Timun Mas was thankful to god and came
    back to her home.
