In a village there lived an old widow named mbok Sarni. Every day he spends his time alone, because mbok Sarni does not have a child. Actually, he wanted to have a child, to be able to help him work.
One afternoon go to the forest to look for wood, and in the middle of the road mbok Sarni met with a huge giant. Hey, where are you going ?, asked the Giant. I just want to collect firewood, so let me pass, answer mbok Sarni. Ha ha ha ha…. You may pass after you give me a human child to eat, said the Giant. Then mbok Sarni answered, But I have no children.
After mbok Sarni said that he did not have children and wanted to have children, then the Giant gave him cucumber seeds. The giant said, O old lady, this I give you cucumber seeds. Plant this seed in your yard, and after two weeks you will have a child. But remember, hand it over to me after he's six.
After two weeks, the cucumber looked very fruitful and there was one of the big cucumbers. Mbok Sarni then took it, and after it was split it was a very beautiful baby. The baby was later given the name of the golden cucumber.
The more gold cucumbers grew, and mbok Sarni is very happy because his house is not empty anymore. All his work can be done quickly because of the help of the golden cucumber.
Finally one day came the Giant to collect appointments. Mbok Sarni is very frightened, and does not want to lose the golden cucumber. Then mbok Sarni said, O giant, come here two more years. The more mature this child, the better to eat. The Giant also agreed and left the house mbok Sarni.
Time two years is not a long time, therefore every day mbok Sarni to think how to make his son not taken the Giant. Heart mbok Sarni is very anxious, and finally one night mbok Sarni dreaming. In his dream, he was told that the golden cucumber met the ascetic on the Mountain.
In the morning mbok Sarni told the golden cucumber to immediately meet the hermit. After meeting the recluse, the golden cucumber then tells the story of the purpose of his arrival. The hermit then gave him four small packages containing cucumber seeds, needles, salt, and shrimp paste. Throw one by one this packet, if you are chased by the giant, the ascetic command. Then the cucumber is home, and immediately saves the package from the hermit.
The morning giant comes again to collect appointments. O old woman, where is the child? I can not bear to eat it, yelled the Giant. Then mbok Sarni replied, Do not you take my son, O giant, because I am very fond of him. I'd better have what you eat. The giant does not want to accept the offer from mbok Sarni, and finally angry. Where's the kid? Where's the golden cucumber ?, cried the giant.
Because not bear to see mbok Sarni weeping, then the golden cucumber out of his hiding place. I'm here giant, catch me if you can !!!, shouted the golden cucumber.
Raksasapun chase after him, and the golden cucumber starts throwing bags containing cucumbers. Miraculously, the forest becomes a fruit cucumber field. Raksasapun become obstructed, because the cucumber stems continue to wrap around his body. But eventually the giant managed to get away, too, and began chanting gold cucumbers again. Then the golden cucumber sprinkled the second bag containing the needle, in an instant growing bamboo trees very tall and sharp. With feet bleeding by the bamboo stuck the giant kept chasing Then the golden cucumber opened the third parcel containing the salt. Instantly the forest became a vast ocean. But the sea was easily passed by the giant. The last Timun Emas finally sprinkled shrimp paste, instantly a sea of boiling mud, and the giant splashed inside. Finally the giant died.
Timun Emas thanked God Almighty, for being saved from a vicious giant. Finally Timun Emas and Mbok Sarni live happily and peacefully.
