Dongeng Legenda Cerita
Rakyat Bahasa Inggris tentang Timun Emas. Selamat membaca..
Long time ago in the island
of Java, Indonesia, lived a couple of farmer.
They had married for some years but they had no children. So they prayed to a monster called Buta Ijo to
give them children. Buta 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 Buta 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 Buta Ijo came to their house. Timun Emas was frightened so she ran away to hide. The farmers then told Buta Ijo that Timun
Emas was still a child. They asked him
to postpone. Buta Ijo agreed. He promised to come again. The following year Buta Ijo came again. But again and again their parents said that
Timun Emas was still a child.
When the third time Buta 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. Buta Ijo will chase you. 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 Buta
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 Buta 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 Buta Ijo was very thirsty so he
grabbed and ate them. When Buta Ijo was
busy eating cucumber Timun Emas could run away.
But soon Buta Ijo 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.
Buta Ijo found it hard to pass. It took
him some time to break the dense bamboo forest.
Meanwhile Timun Emas could run farther.
Buta Ijo chased her
again. When he almost catch her again
and again Timun Emas threw her dressing.
This time it turned into a lake.
Buta Ijo was busy to save himself so Timun Emas ran way. But Buta Ijo could overcome it and continued
chasing her.
Finally when Timun Emas was
almost caught she threw her salt. Soon
the land where Buta Ijo stood turned into ocean. Buta Ijo was drowned and died instantly.
Timun Emas was thankful to
god and came back to her home.
