Once upon a time in a village in Central Java, there lived a middle-aged widow named Mbok Srini. Since her husband left her for several years, she has lived alone, she also has no children.
Because of loneliness, she really hoped for the presence of a child, but unfortunately that hope was dashed because her husband had passed away.
Mbok Srini can only wait for a miracle to be able to have children. He hoped that a miracle would happen to him, by always praying day and night to Almighty God so that he could be given a child.
One night, that hope came through his dream. In his dream, Mbok Srini was visited by a giant figure who told him to go get a package under a big tree in the forest where he usually looks for firewood. When she woke up in the morning, Mbok Srini could hardly believe her dream last night.
“Could a miracle really happen to me?” He asked himself doubtfully.
However, Mbok Srini tried to dispel her doubts. Full of hope, he rushed towards the forest the giant was pointing at. Arriving in the forest, he looked for a package under a big tree.
With full confidence, he threw the last package containing the shrimp paste. Immediately, the place where the terrace fell suddenly turned into a sea of boiling mud.
As a result, the giant was defeated because he fell into the sea of mud and died instantly. Then save Timun Emas from being chased and eaten by the giant.
With all his might, Timun Mas walked to his hut to meet his mother. Seeing that her son was safe, Mbok Srini immediately thanked God Almighty. Since then, Mbok Srini and Timun Mas have lived happily.
Well, that's Timun Mas' tale, the story above can be a lesson for children to always remember that people who have evil intentions like giants, will eventually get hurt.
In addition, reminding children that all obstacles in life can be resolved properly if done with effort and hard work.
But he was actually very surprised when he found a package that he thought contained a baby, but it only contained a cucumber seed. His heart was wondering again.
"What does the giant mean to give me a cucumber seed?" said Mbok Srini confusedly.
In the midst of his confusion, unwittingly there was a giant figure standing behind him laughing heartily.
"Ha ha ha…!" that was the sound of the giant laughter.
Mbok Srini was surprised as she turned her body. How surprised he was because it was the giant who was present in his dream. He became afraid.
Geez, Lord Giant! Don't eat me! I still want to live,” Mbok Srini pleaded with a pale face.
"Don't be afraid, old woman! I will not eat you. Don't you want a child?" asked the giant.
“T… that's right, Lord Giant!” replied Mbok Srini nervously.
"Then, immediately plant the cucumber seeds! Later you will get a daughter. But, remember! You must hand the child over to me when he grows up. Because I will make the child my food," said the giant.
Because she wanted so much to have children, Mbok Srini subconsciously replied, “Okay, giant! I am willing to hand the child over to you.”
