Pretest

Long, long ago, when the gods and goddesses used to mingle in the affairs of mortals, there was a small kingdom on the slope of Mount Wayang in West Java.  The King, named Sang Prabu, was a wise man.  He had an only daughter, called Princess Teja Nirmala, who was famous for her beauty but she was not married.  One day Sang Prabu made up his mind to settle the matter by a show of strength.

After that, Prince of Blambangan, named Raden Begawan had won the competition.  Unfortunately, the wicked fairy, Princess Segara fell in love with Raden Begawan and used magic power to render him unconscious and he forgot his wedding.  When Sang Prabu was searching, Raden Begawan saw him and soon realized that he had been enchanted by the wicked fairy.  The fairy could not accept this, so she killed Raden Begawan.  When Princess Teja Nirmala heard this, she was very sad.  So a nice fairy took her to the Kahyangan.

TIMUN EMAS

Long time ago in the Island of Java, Indonesia, lived a couple of farmers. They had married for some years but they had no children. So, they prayed to a monster called Buto Ijo to give them children. Buto Ijo was a ferocious and powerful monster. He granted their wish on one condition. When their children had grown up, they had to sacrifice them to Buto Ijo. He liked eating fresh meat of human being. The farmers agreed to his condition. Several months later the wife was pregnant.

She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. They named her Timun Emas. The farmers were happy. Timun Emas was very healthy and a very smart girl. She was also very diligent. When she was a teenager Buto Ijo came to their house. Timun Emas was frightened so she ran away to hide. The farmers then told Buto Ijo that Timun Emas was still a child. They asked him to postpone. Buto Ijo agreed. He promised to come again. The following year ButoIjo came again. But again, and again their parents said that Timun Emas was still a child.

When the third time Buto Ijo came their parents had prepared something for him. They gave Timun Emas several bamboo needles, seeds of cucumber, dressing and salt.

“Timun, take these things”“What are these things?”“These are your weapons. Buto Ijo will chaseyou. He will eat you alive. So, run as fast as you can. And if he will catch you spread this to the ground. Now go!”

Timun Emas was scared so she ran as quickly as she could. When Buto Ijo arrived, she was far from home. He was very angry when he realized that his prey had left. So, he ran to chase her. He had a sharp nose so he knew what direction his prey ran. Timun Emas was just a girl while Buto Ijo was a monster so he could easily catch her up. When he was just several steps behind Timun Emas quickly spread the seeds of cucumber. In seconds they turned into many vines of cucumber. The exhausted Buto Ijo was very thirsty so he grabbed and ate them. When Buto Ijo was busy eating cucumberTimun Emas could run away. But soon ButoIjo realized and started running again. When he was just several steps behind Timun Emas threw her bamboo needles. Soon they turned into dense bamboo trees. Buto Ijo found it hard to pass. It took him some time to break the dense bamboo forest. Meanwhile Timun Emas could run farther.

Buto Ijo chased her again. When he almost caught her again and again Timun Emas threw her dressing. This time it turned into a lake. Buto Ijo was busy to save himself so Timun Emas ran way. But Buto Ijo could overcome it and continued chasing her. Finally, when Timun Emas was almost caught she threw her salt. Soon the land where Buto Ijo stood turned into ocean. Buto Ijo was drowned and died instantly. Timun Emas was thankful to god and came back to her home.
