Once upon a time, not far from a jungle, lived a happy couple. They were diligent farmers who always worked hard on the paddy fields. They had been married for many years but they have yet to be blessed with a child. Everyday they prayed that one day they will receive that blessing. One night, while they were praying, a giant passed by their house. The giant heard their prayer. And so the giant came to them, "Don't worry farmers. I can grant you your wish. But you are to return the child to me when she is 17 years old," said the giant.

Without thinking about the risk of losing their child and backed with their long yearning for a child, without any hesitation, they agreed. Later, the giant gave them a bunch of cucumber seeds. Not for long, The seeds then grew into plants. They were very surprised to see one of the cucumber is a golden one, and what's more is that there's a girl inside that golden cucumber, and so they decide to call the baby as Timun Mas or Golden Cucumber. Years passed and her parents watched as Timun Mas grew into a beautiful young girl. On her 17th birthday, Timun Mas was very happy. However, her parents knew what's coming, they knew they had to keep their promise and return their beloved daughter to the giant.

Suddenly the father says: "My daughter, take this bag. It can save you from the giant," "What do you mean, Father? I don't understand," said Timun Mas, perplexed. Right after that, the giant came towards their house. "Run Timun Mas. Save your life!" said the mother. The giant was furious and he knew that the farmers wanted to break their long promise. He chased after the escaping Timun Mas. Despite of his big body, The giant was quite nimble on his feet and he was gaining some ground. The giant was getting closer and closer. Panic-stricken and helpless, Timun Mas then opened the bag that his father gave him, and she threw a handful of salt. It became sea! The giant had to swim to cross the sea. Later, Timun Mas threw a handful of chili, It became a jungle with trees! The trees had sharp thorns which hurt the giant. But a giant is still a giant, those thorns were still no match for him, Timun Mas took some cucumber seeds, threw them to the ground and it instantly became a cucumber field.

"hahahaha! You have got to be kidding me, child. you can run but you can not hide!" Shouts the giant.

lastly it was a shrimp paste, terasi. She threw it and became a big swamp! The giant was still trying to swim across the swamp but he was already exhausted. He swan and he swam, but to no avail. He drowned and in the end, died. Timun Mas went back home to her familyimmediately went home. The farmers were so happy that they’re finally reunited with their beloved daughter, Timun Mas.
