TIMUN MAS

Long long time ago, there was a farmer


couple. They were staying in a village ORIENTATION
near a forest. They lived happily.

Unfortunately, they hadn’t had any


children yet. Every day they prayed to
God for a child. One day a giant passed
COMPLICATION 1
their home. He heard what they were
praying. Then the giant gave them a
cucumber seed.

“Plant this seed, then you’ll get a


daughter,” said the giant. “Thank you,
Giant,” said the couple. “But in one
condition, in her 17-th birthday, you
must give her to me,” said the Giant. The
couple wanted a child so much that they
agreed without thinking first.

Then the couple planted the cucumber


seed. Each day they took care the
growing plant so carefully. Months later, RESOLUTION 1
a golden cucumber grew from the plant.

The cucumber was getting heavier and


bigger each day. When it was ripe, they
picked it. Carefully they cut out the
cucumber and how surprised were they
when they found a beautiful baby inside.
They were so happy. They named the
baby Timun Mas, or Golden Cucumber.
Years were passing by and Timun Mas
had grown into a beautiful girl. Her
parents were very proud of her. But
their happiness turned to fear when her COMPLICATION 2
17th birthday came. The giant returned
to ask for their promise. He was going to
take Timun Mas away.

The farmer tried to be calm. “Just a


moment, please. Timun Mas is playing.
My wife will call her,” he said. Then the
farmer came to his daughter. “My child,
take this,” as he was giving her a little RESOLUTION 2
bag to Timun Mas. “This will help you
from the giant. Now, run as fast as you
can,” he ordered. So Timun Mas ran
away.

The couple was very sad about her


leaving. But they didn’t want the giant to
eat Timun Mas. Meanwhile, the giant
had been waiting for too long. He
became impatient. Somehow he knew COMPLICATION 3
that the couple had lied to him. So he
destroyed their house and ran for Timun
Mas.
Timun Mas was still running, but now
the giant almost caught her. Then she
took some chilly and threw them to the
giant. The chilly suddenly grew into
some trees and trapped the giant. The RESOLUTION 3
trees grew some thorns as sharp as a
knife. The giant screamed painfully. At
the mean time, Timun Mas could escape
again.
But the giant was very strong. Again he
almost caught Timun Mas. So Timun Mas
took the third magic stuff, the cucumber
seeds. She threw the seeds and suddenly
they became a wide cucumber field. The COMPLICATION 4
giant was very tired and hungry so he
ate those fresh cucumbers. He ate too
much that he felt sleepy and fell asleep
soon.

Timun Mas kept on running as fast as


she could. But soon she was very tired
herself. To make things worse, the giant
had woken up! Timun Mas was so
scared. Desperately she then threw her
last weapon, terasi (a kind of shrimp
pasta). IT did a miracle again. The pasta RESOLUTION 4
became a big swamp. The giant fell into
it but his hands almost reached Timun
Mas. Suddenly the lake pulled him to the
bottom. The giant panicked and he
couldn’t breathe. At last he was drown.

Timun Mas was very relieved. She was


safe now. Then she returned to her
parents’ house. Her parents were of
course very happy to see their daughter
safe and sound. “Thanks God. You have RE-ORIENTATION
saved my daughter,” they cried happily.
From then on, Timun Mas lived happily
with her parents with no fear anymore.
