Once upon a time on the island of Java, there was an old widow named Mbok Srini. Every day he works in the fields next to the house left by his husband. When tired of work , loneliness always comes over.
He really wanted to have a child so that in his old age someone would accompany him. The longer the feeling of loneliness is getting piled up and unstoppable again. Mbok Srini finally decided to try asking Buto Ijo for help.
Buto ijo is a giant who lives in a cave on the outskirts of the village, and is known for granting wishes to those who come to him. But of course all that is not free. This also applies to Mbok Srini.
Where he had to pay a very high price. "When the child is 6 years old, you have to return it to me for me to make it a meal. " Despite the conditions, the desperate woman agreed.
Then Buto Ijo gave a cucumber seed to plant in his field. Within a few days the cucumbers began to grow and bear fruit. Among all the cucumbers that were fruiting, there was only one that was extremely large and emitted a golden glow.
Mbok Srini was very happy, she brought the cucumber home. then he sliced it open carefully. There was a beautiful baby girl in it.
With a sense of happiness he named the child Timun Mas. As time goes by, Timun Mas has grown into a cheerful little girl. Mbok Srini felt that Buto Ijo was constantly watching her.
Mbok Srini's love for Timun Mas made her not willing to lose her child any time soon. But alas, he will never be able to fight the giant Buto Ijo who is very strong. Approaching the time of his agreement with Buto Ijo, Mbok Srini decided to go to Gunung Kidul to ask for guidance and help from a powerful hermit.
After hearing the story from Mbok Srini. The hermit gave 4 small bags. “Give this to your son Timun Mas.
This will help him fight Buto Ijo. ” Now the day has come when Buto Ijo comes to collect on his promise. "Where is my food?
" Mbok Srini immediately ordered Timun Mas to run away and gave her 4 packages given by the hermit. Seeing his mother in danger , Timun Mas tried to lure Buto Ijo to chase him. “Hey… I'm here!
Chase me! " Not wanting to lose his meal. Buto Ijo chased Timun Mas.
Timun Mas ran as hard as he could into the forest so he wouldn't be caught. Even though Buto Ijo chased him by walking , he caught up with Timun Mas. Because Buto Ijo's footsteps were very far away.
Remembered his mother's advice , Timun Mas threw the first bag containing cucumber seeds towards Buto Ijo. Miraculously the cucumber seeds grew quickly and thickly. Buto Ijo's road was covered.
The cucumber plants spread over his body until they entangled him tightly. But Buto Ijo easily escaped. Buto Ijo continued to chase Timun Mas who was running scared.
When Buto Ijo was about to get closer, Timun Mas threw a second bag filled with needles. Instantly the bamboo forest grew thick. The bamboo trapped and injured Giant Buto Ijo's body.
Immediately Timun Mas ran away from him. Feeling belittled, Buto Ijo was furious. He took some bamboo sticks and threw them towards Timun Mas.
With great difficulty Timun Mas be try to avoid falling bamboo. Timun Mas arrived at the river bank. He was already very exhausted.
There was the sound of footsteps and shouts of Buto Ijo getting closer. Seeing Buto Ijo approaching him, Timun Mas immediately threw the third bag filled with salt towards the river. Timun Mas was scared and hoped that the bag could stop Buto Ijo's movement.
Instantly big waves hit Buto Ijo's body. The giant was dragged by the waves away from Timun Mas. Buto Ijo was very angry because he had been made difficult by a small child.
The little girl kept running as hard as she could up a hill. Buto Ijo, who was filled with anger, quickly caught up with Timun Mas. Timun Mas climbed a high cliff.
He hoped that Buto Ijo could not reach him. But alas, the giant can still climb the cliff. Timun Mas couldn't avoid it anymore, in her hands now there was only one bag left from a powerful ascetic.
He threw the bag with all his might towards the giant Buto Ijo. Not wanting the previous incident to happen again, Buto Ijo fended it off and the bag fell to the ground. Arrogantly, Buto Ijo laughed with joy.
The last bag containing shrimp paste turned into a sea of hot lava. Buto Ijo still didn't realize it and kept laughing while hitting the rocks. Desperate Timun Mas could only surrender to the situation.
He hoped that some help would come to save him. It was really unlucky, buto ijo's footing collapsed due to being hit many times. Buto Ijo finally fell into the hot lava.
The giant struggled to escape. he screamed in pain. Then Buto Ijo sank into a sea of hot lava.
Finally Timun Mas was able to stop Buto Ijo once and for all. After fighting Buto Ijo, Timun Mas returned home to meet his mother. "Mother.
