called Sang Kancil. He
lived not only with his parents, but also
his brother. They were a happy
family. They always looked for food together. If one of them didn’t get any food, they would share the food.
One day, Sang Kancil and
his family had been walked in the forest. They were very hungry and tired. Sang
Kancil turned his head around on side him. There were many food. Sang Kancil told
this to his parents. “Wow, it looks very delicius.” said his brother. Then, they
ate the food together. When they ate the food, sang kancil hear something.
“Sst, I hear something. Don’t be noisy.” said sang kancil give a notice to his
parents. His parents and brother didn’t pay attention to him. They enjoyed
their delicious food. It was true, sang kancil looked there was a cruel hunter.
The hunter shot his sniper. Sang Kancil’s parents and brother were killed by
him. Sang Kancil was safe because he ran very quickly when saw the hunter.
He was very sad. He lost his parents and brother. He regretted because he couldn’t
safe his family. Now, he lived alone. He was angry with human beings,
especially hunters. He planed to revenge the hunters. He tought how to revenge
them, and finally he got a brilliant idea.
One day, in the late afternoon. Sang Kancil went to the village. He went to
the human’s field. And he found a field that full of cucumbers. He ate the
cucumbers as many as he wanted. After he was statisfied, he came back to the
forest. And every afternoon, he went to the cucumber field.
One morning, the farmer came to his
cucumber field. He was very surprised. He found his field was destroyed.
The cucumbers were not as many as before. And the next day, his cucumber field
was destroyed again. The farmer was angry. He promised to catch whoever stole his cucumbers. He put an
imitation man at his field. He also put some latex of jackfruit to the
imitation man.
When Sang Kancil enjoyed the cucumber, he looked at the imitation man, but
he taught that he was the man who had the field. Sang Kancil came closer to the
man. He was afraid and felt sorry because he had stolen the cucumber. He
said,”I am sorry, I don’t mean to steal your cucumber, but I’m very hungry.
Please, forgive me. Don’t kill me.” But there wasn’t respond of the man. Sang
Kancil kicked his legs to the imitation man. He was trapped. He couldn’t move
anywhere until the morning was coming.
In the early morning, the farmer checked the cucumber field. And he was
happy because he could catch the thief. He didn’t think that thief was Sang
Kancil. The farmer brought Sang Kancil to his home and put inside a strong
cage. The farmer said to Sang Kancil,”Don’t go anywhere. I will slaughter you
and you will be my breakfast.”
Sang Kancil realized that the farmer would slaughter himself. He tought how
to escape and went out from the cage. And
suddenly, the farmer’s dog came to Sang Kancil. “It is good chance.”
said Sang Kancil. The dog didn’t know that kancil will be slaughter. The dog
asked,”Hi Kancil, why are you inside the cage?”. Sang Kancil answered,”Do you
know? I will marry with the farmer’s daughter, so the farmer protect me from
the other animal here. Do you want to marry his daughter? She is very beautifull.”.
The dog said,”Kancil, I think I’m better than you to be a husband of the
farmer’s daughter. I replaced you inside the cage and you go out from the cage.
Do you agree?”. “Well, I agree.” Said Kancil.
Finally, the dog entered the cage and Sang Kancil could free and ran away
into the forest. The farmer was recentful, because he was failed to slaughter
Kancil. Meanwhile Sang Kancil which cunning could safe himself from the farmer
by tricked the dog.

One night, while they
were praying, Buto Ijo a giant with supranatural powers passed their house. He
heard they pray. "Don't worry farmers. I can give you a child. But you
have to give me that child when she is 17 years old," said Buto Ijo. The
farmers were so happy. They did not think about the risk of losing their child
letter and agree to take the offer. Later, Buto Ijo gave them a bunch of
cucumber seeds. The farmers planted them carefully. Then the seeds changed into
plants. No longer after that, a big golden cucumber grew from plants. After it
had ripe, the farmers picked and cut it. They were very surprised to see
beautiful girl inside the cucumber. They named her Timun Mas or Golden
Cucumber. Years passed by and Timun Mas has changed into a beautiful girl. On
her 17th birthday, Timun Mas was very happy.
However, the parents
were very sad. They knew they had to keep their promise to Buto Ijo the giant
but they also did not want to lose their beloved daughter. "My daughter,
take this bag. It can save you from the giant," said father. "What do
you mean, Father? I don't understand," said Timun Mas.
Right after that, Buto
Ijo came into their house. "Run Timun Mas. Save your life!" said the
mother. Buto ijo was angry. He knew the farmers wanted to break their promise.
He chased Timun Mas away. Buto Ijo was getting closer and closer. Timun Mas
then opened the bag and threw a handful of salt. It became sea. Buto Ijo had to
swim to cross the sea. Later, Timun Mas threw some chilly. It became a jungle
with trees. The trees had sharp thorns so they hurt Buto Ijo. However, he was
still able to chase Timun Mas. Timun Mas took her third magic stuff. It was
cucumber seeds. She threw them and became cucumber field. But Buto Ijo still
could escape from the field. Then it was the last magic stuff she had in the
bag. It was a shrimp paste or terasi. She threw it and became a big swamp. Buto
Ijo was still trying to swim the swamp but he was very tired. Then he was
drowning and died.
