Folklore Timun Mas and Green Giant - This is a fairy tale of the legend of Indonesian people legend originating from Central Java. The story is quite interesting and very famous, presented with simple manuscripts easy to understand among children. Because once when I was in elementary school, this story is in my indonesian textbook. So here, I will try to write this story back. Certainly with the way and typical story telling that I have.
Al-story in ancient times, there was a poor widow who lived alone on the edge of the forest. Due to his growing age, the widow found it increasingly difficult to do his job. Because he has to do it himself. From farming and looking for firewood in the forest to sell. The widow often contemplates her fate every night. Complaining with life on the way.
One night, the poor widow returned to her usual contemplation. "If only I had a child, surely my life would not be so hard, someone would help me with my work, and take care of me when I was old." The widow complained.
It turns out all the complaints are heard by the green giant forest ruler named Buto ijo. Buto ijo accidentally passed the poor widow's house while hunting a deer for his prey.
Hahaha .. Maybe I can help to realize to your wishes .. ". Buto ijo said while looking into the window.
Hearing a thunderous voice made the widow shocked and conscious of her reverie. What's more after he sees the ghastly figure peeking out of the window, making the widow almost faint with fear.
Do not be afraid, I will not hurt you. During this time I often pay attention to you, I often hear all your complaints. And this time I came to manifest to your wishes .. I can give you a child. "Buto ijo said.
"Is that true..?". The widow's face was now glowing with delight. Her fear has now been swallowed up by her joy.
"Of course it is true .. I am the king of the giants of this forest ruler, I can not lie to you". Buto ijo assured.
"Then .. How can I have a child?". Asked the widow.
Once upon a time before me and my people were expelled from the kingdom of heaven, I had time to steal a seed cucumber Mas magic. If this seed you planted and treated, then he will grow and can make what you ask granted. If you ask for gold, then he will bear gold. If you ask for treasure, then the fruit will contain diamonds and gems. And so if you ask a child, the fruit will contain a baby. "Buto ijo explains.
"Then, quickly give me the seeds, I will soon plant it .. !!". Pinta widow was excited.
"But there are a prerequisite..".
"What are the conditions? Everything I will surely fulfill". The widow was getting impatient.
"If the child born is a man, then he will be yours to the fullest.But when the birth is a girl, then he should you leave it to me for me to eat.What do you agree? Hahaha ..". The sound of Buto ijo's laughter boomed through the forest. Hearing the conditions proposed Buto ijo, widow was pensive for a moment. But because of the desire to have a child is very strong, ahirnya he menyanggupinya.
Finally the golden cucumber seed was given. And on the next day, the widow immediately planted it. He takes care of the plant every day, until the end of the plant is fruitful. But how surprised was she, when the one born was a baby girl. He became very sad because he remembered his promise to the giant Buto ijo. In the evening Buto ijo came to see the widow, after he knew who was born is a princess, Buto ijo intend to bring the baby. But the widow begged for a few years for her to take care of the baby. He reasoned that the baby was still too small, and would not be satisfactory when fed. So when later he has grown larger, then he will be submitted to Buto ijo.
Buto ijo accepted the woman's offer. And the time went on after that night. Every five years, Buto ijo came to ask the girl. But the widow always asks for a grace period for the same reason. Not felt 20 years have passed. Timun Mas grows into a beautiful girl, diligent, kind and cheerful. So the presence of the golden cucumber makes the widow's life filled with happiness. Until one day, Buto ijo came back to collect appointments.
"Hi man .. Now I come back here to collect your promise ... Quickly handed the boy to me .. !! My patience is getting exhausted ..
Give me a little more time. He's still skinny. Wait until he's fat. "The widow pleaded.
"Can not .. My patience is gone, another week I will come, and he must be ready". Buto ijo said as he went in anger.
Meanwhile, Timun Mas was in the forest to pick her favorite jasmine flowers. When he was cool picking flowers, suddenly there was an old grandfather in white robes to meet him. It turned out that the grandfather was the king of the sky. He tells all the stories of the cucumber Gold in the Golden cucumber. And also tell the sadness experienced by his mother because of his promise to Giant Buto ijo. And finally the old grandfather gave a small packet to the Golden Cucumber.
"It contains a thorn, a handful of salt, and shrimp, use wisely to save yourself when Buto ijo chases you." The grandfather's message then disappeared. Timun Mas remembered all the grandfather's messages. And after arriving home, he told all the events that are in his nature to the mother. Of course the mother was surprised. But the Golden Cucumber pacifies the mother, and she is sure that she will be all right. (read the child's fairy tale only at dongengterbaru.blogspot.com)
And one week ended. Giant Buto ijo came back to collect appointments. But how angry he was when he found the widow's hut had been vacant uninhabited. Because Timun Mas had taken his mother hiding in a cave and he himself ran towards the mountain to keep Buto ijo away from his mother. Seeing the hut is empty, Buto ijo also exerting kesaktianya to find out the existence of Cucumber Gold. And ahirnya meet. Buto ijo immediately mobilize all kesaktianya to pursue Timun Emas.
With time not long, he was able to see Timun Mas running in the distance. Seeing the giant Buto ijo who was suddenly behind him in the distance, Gold Timun was surprised. He panics and fears begin to approach him. But he began to remember the old grandfather's message he met in the woods. Cucumber Gold was immediately opened the package that was in carry. He picks up the thorn and is thrown in the direction of Buto ijo. What a miracle .. !! When the thorns hit the ground, the cash of the surrounding area turned into a forest full of trees and spiny plants. Of course it makes Buto ijo difficult. Because he was inhibited by sharp thorns that made his whole body hurt.
But Buto ijo is not a haphazard giant. He has a high power so that in the appointment of the king of the giants. And with the knowledge he has, ahirnya Buto ijo able to pass through the forest of thorns. Despite his body full of cuts and scrapes, he remains determined to pursue Timun Mas.
"Timun Mas, you can not run from me .. Grrrr .. !!". Shouted buto ijo while growling.
Seeing his first attempt failed, Timun Emas re-opened the package in the carry. This time he took a handful of salt and threw it. And to the magic going back, the area turned into a vast sea. So now the distance between Timun Emas and Buto ijo separated by the ocean. Of course it makes Buto ijo confused. And the opportunity was not in waste Timun Emas to run again.
But Buto ijo did not give up. Again he read the incantation and took out his magic. He then swam past the magical sea. The wound is becoming more and more painful because of the salt-containing sea water. But apparently it did not dampen his resolve, instead his emotions and his anger became more and more. And ahirnya with difficulty, Buto ijo managed to cross the magic sea. And after Buto ijo through it, the sea disappeared without trace.
"You make me even more angry .. See if you get caught later, I'll crush you until not left .. Aaaarrrggg .. !!". The anger of Buto ijo is increasingly overflowing uncontrollably. Seeing the second attempt again failed, Timun Mas a little anxious. Because now he has only one thing left behind, namely shrimp paste. If it turns out that this last attempt failed, then he has resigned to his fate.
But again Timun Mas strengthens his heart. He was sure God would give way out and help him. With confidence he threw the shrimp paste, and again the magic thing happened. The whole area turned into a sea of mud. Who can suck and drown whatever is on it. This time Buto ijo was not too surprised by the incident. Since it was the third miracle he saw in a single day, he was no longer surprised. Two obstacles he has been able to pass through with kesaktianya. And it makes Buto ijo confident in his supernatural powers and abilities. He believes, with his supernatural powers, he can easily pass through these three obstacles.
But all unexpectedly, he has taken a pretty fatal mistake. It turned out that the sea of mud that has a very strong suction power. When Buto ijo reached the middle of the sea
