O
ne afternoon, there was a lady who wanted a child. So she went to a giant who was greedy and rarely very vicious. She asked him, "Oh, great one... I've been waiting for a child for two years, after I was married. "The giant thought about it for a moment." I will tell you how to have one, but you will have to pay me back." "Anything! I'll do anything," she pleased. "Okay in the Ancient Jati mountain, you can find cucumbers. Eat the cucumbers, the next month you will born a baby." The giant said. "But, the repayment, and don't forget, if you born a baby girl, you have to give me her.

Eleven and a half years later, Timun Emas the girl who was born from the lady, woke up.. She took the pack of cucmber seed mixed with other dangerous things, too that her mother had given her just in case of the giant. She went up to the hill, then the giant came catching her to the top of the hill. She threw cucumber seeds to the giant, and cucumbers grew in front of the giant as he was so thirsty, he ate all the cucumber as he was so thisty. She threw thorns at him so he was all scartched and hurt, but he didn't give up. Finally, she threw water salt, so the giant was blow by the water so he died.



The End
