The text is for questions number 6-10.

Once upon a time, in a village, a couple was working on their farm when they saw a golden cucumber. They opened it and saw a baby girl inside. “Look how beautiful she is!” said the husband. The couple was so happy because they wanted to have a child for so long.

“Wait! That baby is mine!” there was a voice behind them.

It was the Green Giant. “Oh mighty Giant, can we keep her please?”

“Well, if you want her so badly, you can keep her but I will take her again when she is seventeen. I am going to make her work in my factory.”

The wife cried happily while carrying the baby to their house. The couple named the girl Timun Mas. They raised her with love and care. Timun Mas grew up to be a very beautiful and smart girl.

A couple of years later, the couple realized that they only had a few days until Timun Mas turned seventeen. They did not want the giant to take Timun Mas away. Timun Mas’ mother asked her whether she wanted to work at the Giant’s factory or not.

Timun Mas said that she wanted to continue her studies at a university instead of becoming a worker.

Timun Mas’ mother then gave her three magical things. They were a pencil, a pen, and an eraser.

The mother said, ”These items have special powers to help you beat the Giant.”

In the morning, the couple quickly prepared the things in a bag.
