Hello Steemians
Today I want to share my post about a legend story in Indonesia that is Timun Mas
There is a story, live a widow who does not have a child named Mbok Srini, When Mbok Srini want to go to the forest, he was visited by a giant who gave him cucumber seeds. The giant says that he will have children through the cucumber seeds.
Mbok Srini was very eager to have children, still unfortunately Mbok Srini is a widow
Mbok Srini came home and planted the cucumber seeds. After some time, the cucumber plants only bear one fruit, the color of gold. He split the fruit and was surprised because it was a baby girl. The boy was named Timun Mas.
Long story short, Timun Mas has grown. One night, Mbok Srini dreamed of being visited by a giant. The Giant will pick up Timun Mas for another week. Mbok Srini afraid, then meet the ascetic magic. The ascetic gave four small bundles, containing cucumber seeds, needles, salt, and shrimp paste.
On the appointed day, Mbok Srini asks Timun Mas to leave. Giant pursue it continuously, Timun Mas opened the first bundle, immediately surrounding him into a cucumber field and inhibit the Giant. Once caught again, Timun Mas opened the second package. In an instant, its surroundings become a bamboo grove of pointed trees. Giants continue to chase despite being hurt. Timun Mas opened the third package. The surrounding area becomes a vast ocean. However, the giant was able to pass it. Frightened, Timun Mas tosses the last bundle. Its surroundings turn into a sea of boiling mud. Giant was splashed and killed. Congratulations Timun Mas. He went to his mother and they lived happily.
