Timun Emas
Long time
ago, there lived an old woman named Embok Sirni. 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 in one condition,”
the giant said to mbok Sirni. “You must give the child back to me when the
child is sixteen years old.” Mbok Sirni 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 Sirni
planted the seeds. The seeds grew within few days, and blossomed plentifully.
No longer after that, a big golden cucumber grew from the plants. Carefully,
mbok Sirni 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. The she named the baby Timun Emas, which means Golden
Cucumber.
Years passed
by and Timun Emas had grown to become a lovely and beautiful girl. She was also
smart and kind. Mbok sirni loved her very much. But she kept thinking about the
time the giant would take timun emas away from her. one night, mbok sirni 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 sirni left timun emas to go
to mount gundul. The holy man then gave her four little bags. Each one
contained cucumber seeds, needles, salt, and shrimp paste. “Timun emas can use
these to protect herself,” said the holy man to mbok sirni.
A few days
later, the giant came to see Mbok sirni about her promise. “mbok sirni! Where
is timun emas?” shouted the giant. “my daughter, take these bags with you. they
can save you from the giant. Now, run through the back door!” said mbok sirni.
But the giant saw timun emas running to the woods. The giant was angry, starved
and enraged, he rushed toward timun emas. Mbok sirni tried to stop him, but the
giant was unstoppable.
The giant
was getting closer and closer,timun emas opened the first bag she got from mbok
sirni. Inside the bag, there 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 closer, 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 fields. 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! Heeelp…!” then the giant drowned and died.
Timun emas then immediately went back home. Since then, timun emas and mbok
sirni lived happily ever after.
the end.
