TIMULong time ago, There lived an old woman named
Mbok Sirni. She lived by herself because her husband had
long passed away and she had no children. Every day, she
prayed to 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 on one
condition, the giant said to Mbok Sirni, "You must give
the child back to me when it is six 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 1 bunch of cucumber
seeds. "Plart it around your house." The giant then left
without saying anything else. In the morning, Mbok Sirni
Janted the seeds. The seeds grew within more days, and
blossomed plentifully. Not longer after that, a big golden
cucumber grew from 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. She then named
the baby Timun Emas (it means Golden Cucumber).
Years passed by and Timun Emas has grew to become a
lovely and beautiful little 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 took leave of Timun Emas to go to Mount Gundul
The holy man then gave her four little bags, each one
containing cucumber seeds, needles, salt, and shrimp paste
"Timun Emas can use these to protect herself," said the
holy man to Mbok Sirni
