Class : XIPS3

Title : Timun Emas

Orientation (Paragraph 1-2)


Once upon a time, there lived an old woman named Mbok Sirni. She lived by herself and had no
children. Every day, she washed the clothes on the edge of the river. Living life in loneliness, she
begged and prayed the god to give her a child.

“Oh God, I wish I had a child to cure my loneliness. Please grant my wish.”

Complication (Paragraph 3-16)


Suddenly, a green giant accidentally passed her house and heard her wish.

“HAHAHAHA, don’t be afraid, my name is Buto Ijo. I could help you grant your wish.”

“What? Are you kidding? I don’t believe you. I don’t even know you!”

“Well, I'm serious, believe me. I can give you a child, but there’s one requirement. Are you willing to
accept it?”

“Yes, of course. I would do anything to get a child.”

“HAHAHAHA, that sounds great. You have to return the child when she is 17 years old. If you don’t
keep the promise, I will take the baby by force. Remember that!”

After that, Buto Ijo gave some golden cucumber seeds to plant. The seeds grew within more days and
blossomed plentifully. Not long after that, a big golden cucumber grew from the 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.

“Oh God, your so beautiful, I will take care and treat you as my biological daughter.” After that, she
named the baby Timun Emas.

Time has passed, Timun Mas has grown to become both a beautiful and compassionate girl. She is a
loving, kind, and diligent child who always willing to help tale care of Mbok Sirni. One morning,
suddenly, Mbok Sirni remember the promise she had made with the giant 17 years ago. In order to
save Timun Mas from the giant, Mbok Sirni went to Mount Gundul. She had to meet a holy man. The
Holy man gave her four little bags, each one containing cucumber seeds, needles, salt, and shrimp
paste.

“These are for Timun Emas to protect herself. I hope Timus Emas could survive from the giant.” said
the holy man.

A few days later, the giant came to see Mbok Sirni about her promise. “Mbok Sirni, did you still
remember the promise that we made 17 years ago. Now I came back for it.” shouted the giant.

Mbok Sirni is so sad and fearful of the horrible fate that awaits her beloved child. She quickly gave
those bags to Timus Emas. “My daughter, take these bags with you. It can save you from the giant.
Now, run through the back door,” said Mbok Sirni. But the giant saw Timun Emas running to the woods.

“HAHAHAHA, little girl, I saw you. Don’t you think about running away from me!”

But Timus Emas didn’t listen to him and keep running towards the forest. The giant was getting closer
and closer which not left any choice for the Timus Emas to used the goods she got from her mother.
She opened the first bags and found some cucumber seeds. She threw the seeds away and suddenly
a large cucumber vine appeared and strangle the giant’s body, trapping him so that he can’t move.
However, he managed to break free and continued to chase her. As the giant was getting close, Timun
Emas took the second bag with needles inside and spilled it behind her.

Resolution (Paragraph 17)


The needles turned into bamboo trees, sharp and thorny. The giant’s body was badly wounded and
stuck with sharp bamboos. “ARGHHHHHH… I WILL GET YOU, LITTLE GIRL. WAIT FOR ME.” shouted the
giant. Unfortunately, the giant managed to escape from that thorny bamboo and caught up to the
running Timun Mas again. Seeing that, Timun Emas opened the last bags and found some shrimp paste
and salt. Then, she threw it away towards the giant.

Re-Orientation (Paragraph 18)

The shrimp paste and salt became a deep-sea of boiling mud. The mud slowly but surely drowned him.
Feeling helpless, he shouted for help, “HELP! Heeeeelp…PLEASE HELP ME!” Then the giant drowned
and died. Timun Mas then immediately went home. Since then, Timun Emas and Mbok Sirni live
happily ever after.
