​Timun Mas

A 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 the fresh meat of human beings. The farmers agreed to his condition. Several months later the wife was pregnant. She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. They named her Cucumber Gold. The farmers were happy. Golden Cucumber was very healthy and a very smart girl. She was also very diligent. When she was a teenager Buta Ijo came to their house. Golden Cucumber was frightened so she ran away to hide. The farmers then told Buta Ijo that Cucumber Gold was still a child. They asked him to postpone. Blind 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 Cucumber Gold several bamboo needles, seeds of cucumber, dressing, and salt.  “Cucumber, take these . 'What are these things?'   These are your weapons. Blind 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!'   Gold Cucumber 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.                        Golden Cucumber was just a girl while Buta Ijo was a monster so he could easily catch her up. When he was just several steps behind Cucumber Gold 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 Cucumber Gold could run away. But soon Buta Ijo realized and started running again. When he was just several steps behind Cucumber Gold 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, Gold Cucumber could run farther. Blind Ijo chased her again. When he almost catch her again and again Golden Cucumber threw her dressing. This time it turned into a lake. Buta Ijo was busy saving himself so Timun Emas ran away. But Buta Ijo could overcome it and continued chasing her.  Finally, when Cucumber Gold was almost caught she threw her salt. Soon the land where Buta Ijo stood turned into an ocean. Buta Ijo was drowned and died instantly. Golden Cucumber was thankful to god and came back to her home.
