TIMUN MAS Long time ago in the island of Java, Indonesia, lived a couple of farmer.

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 Emas. The farmers were happy. Timun Emas 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 Emas 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 Emas was still a child. When the third time Buta Ijo came their parents had prepared something for him. They gave Timun Emas 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 Emas 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 Emas 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 Emas 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 Emas 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 Emas could run farther. Buta Ijo chased her again. When he almost catch her again and again Timun Emas threw her dressing. This time it turned into a lake. Buta Ijo was busy to save himself so Timun Emas ran way. But Buta Ijo could overcome it and continued chasing her. Finally when Timun Emas 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 Emas was thankful to god and came back to her home.

TIMUN MAS Suatu waktu yang lalu di pulau Jawa, Indonesia, hidup sepasang petani. Mereka telah menikah selama beberapa tahun, tetapi mereka tidak mempunyai anak. Jadi mereka meminta bantuan kepada rakasa yang disebut Buta Ijo untuk memberi mereka anak. Buta Ijo adalah rakasa ganas dan kuat. Dia mengabulkan permintaan mereka dengan satu syarat. Ketika anakanak mereka sudah dewasa, mereka harus mengorbankan mereka untuk Buta Ijo. Dia suka makan daging segar manusia. Para petani setuju untuk syarat tersebut. Beberapa bulan kemudian istrinya hamil. Dia melahirkan seorang bayi perempuan cantik. Mereka beri nama Timun Emas. Para petani senang. Timun Emas sangat sehat dan seorang gadis yang sangat cerdas. Dia juga sangat rajin. Ketika ia sudah remaja Buta Ijo datang ke rumah mereka.Timun Emas takut sehingga dia melarikan diri untuk bersembunyi. Para petani kemudian mengatakan kepada Buta Ijo bahwa Timun Emas masih anak-anak. Mereka memintanya untuk menunda. Buta Ijo setuju. Dia berjanji untuk datang lagi. Tahun berikutnya Buta Ijo datang lagi. Tapi lagi dan lagi orang tua mereka mengatakan bahwa Timun Emas masih anak-anak. Ketika ketiga kalinya Buta Ijo datang orang tua mereka telah mempersiapkan sesuatu untuknya. Mereka memberi Timun Emas jarum, bambu, beberapa biji mentimun, saus dan garam. "Timun, ambil benda-benda ini ' "Benda-benda apa ini? ' "Ini adalah senjatamu. Buta Ijo akan mengejar kamu. Dia akan memakan kamu hidup-hidup. Jadi berlari secepat yang kamu bisa. Dan jika dia akan menangkapmu sebarkan benda-benda ini ke tanah. Sekarang pergilah! ' Timun Emas ketakutan jadi dia berlari secepat yang dia bisa. Ketika Buta Ijo sudah tiba, ia sudah jauh dari rumah. Ia sangat marah ketika ia menyadari bahwa mangsanya telah meninggalkan. Jadi ia berlari untuk mengejarnya. Dia memiliki hidung yang tajam sehingga ia tahu kemana arah lari mangsanya. Timun Emas hanya seorang gadis sementara Buta Ijo adalah rakasa, sehingga ia dengan mudah bisa menyusulnya. Ketika ia tinggal beberapa langkah di belakang. Timun Emas dengan cepatnya menyebar benih-benih mentimun. Dalam hitungan detik benda tersebut berubah menjadi banyak mentimun. Buta Ijo sangat kelelahan sehingga haus ia meraih dan memakannya. Ketika Buta Ijo sedang sibuk makan mentimun.Timun Emas bisa melarikan diri. Tapi Buta Ijo segera menyadari dan mulai mengejar lagi. Ketika ia hanya beberapa langkah di belakang. Timun Emas melemparkan jarum bambu nya. Segera benda tersebut berubah menjadi pohon bambu lebat. Buta Ijo merasa sulit untuk lepas. Ini membawanya beberapa waktu untuk memecahkan hutan bambu lebat. Sementara Timun Emas bisa berlari lebih jauh. Buta Ijo mengejarnya lagi. Ketika ia hampir menangkapnya lagi dan lagi. Timun Emas melemparkan sausnya. Kali ini berubah menjadi danau. Buta Ijo sibuk menyelamatkan diri sehingga Timun Emas bisa berlari. Tapi Buta Ijo dapat mengatasinya dan terus mengejarnya. Akhirnya ketika Timun Emas hampir tertangkap ia melemparkan garam nya. Segera tanah di mana Buta Ijo berdiri berubah menjadi laut. Buta Ijo tenggelam dan tewas seketika. Timun Emas bersyukur kepada Tuhan dan kembali ke rumahnya.
