In the ancient time, lived a little family. The family consists of father, mother, and a
beautiful girl named Garlic. They are a harmonious and happy family despite his father
worked as an ordinary merchant. One day, the happiness in this family was lost because
the mother died. Garlic was very sad because she was very fond of her mother. Her father
was also so sad because he loved his wife so much.
After Garlics mother died, her house was visited frequently by a widow who had a
daughter named Onion. The widow often came with Onion to the Garlics home by bringing
food, helping to clean the house, and chatting with Garlics father. Finally, the father thinks
that he should marry the widow and made the widow as a new mother for Garlic.
He asked for consideration of the proposal to Garlic. After being allowed to get married by
Garlic, then her father immediately carried out the marriage. They become a new family
and lived in a house. At first, the mother and Onions behaved Garlic very well. However,
the good behavior did not to be last long. Soon, the Onion and her mother began to show
their bad attitude. Garlic was often scolded and given heavy works when the father went to
trade. She had to do a lot of housework while the Onions just sit and did not work at all.
However, the situation was never told by her to his father, so the Garlic continued to be
treated badly by Onions and her mother.
One day, his father was sick and passed away. Since then, Garlic was treated worse than
before. Garlic almost never had a break every day. In the morning, she had to get up in
order to prepare breakfast and the water for Onion and her mother. Later, she also gave
eating to the livestock, washing clothes, and even watering the entire garden. Although she
should do so many works, she always did it happily. She hoped, with such sincerity, her
mother would love her sincerely someday.
On the morning, Garlic went to the river to wash the clothes. She was so excited and
washed vigorously. Because of getting too excited, she was not aware that there was a
shirt that washed away. She realized that the shirt had been washed away when the flow
carried it far enough. Later, she pursued but did not get the shirt. She felt hopeless and
immediately went home.
The shirt was her mother's favorite. Of course, the mother was angry and told her to look
for the shirt until she could found it. Garlic came back to the river and walked to the west
to seek her mother's favorite shirt. She walked along the river up to tens of kilometers.
After that, Garlic suddenly saw someone who was bathing the buffalo in the river. She
asked the man about the clothes were washed away. Later, she was informed that the shirt
drifting and it was not far from where she was standing. At that moment, Garlic
immediately ran down the river to find the shirt.
It was getting dark and the Garlic found a home. Because of completely exhausted, she
decided to take a break in the house. Apparently, it housed an old lady who had previously
found the shirt. The old lady wanted to return the shirt to her, but she should accompany
the old lady during a week. She agreed to stay with the lady for a week. Within a week,
she made the old lady to be so happy because she was diligent and never complained even
though felt so tired.
After accompanying for a week, she was given a pumpkin as the gift. When opening it, she
was very surprised because there were so much gold and gems. She immediately went
home and told the happening to her mother and also Onion. However, the gold and jewels
that she got immediately seized and she was forced to tell where the jewelry could be
obtained. Garlic immediately said that she got it from an old lady who lived near the river.

In the next day, Onion came to that house and stayed for a week like what Garlic did.
However, because Onion was a lazy girl, the old lady gave a different pumpkin from Garlic.
Onion did not care and Onion immediately went home to open the pumpkin with her
mother. Apparently, the content was not gems or gold, but the venomous snake that bit of
Onion and the mother. Both of them died because of their greed.
After the happening, Garlic was living alone, but she was more calm and lived happily with
its gold and gems.

Bawang Merah dan Bawang Putih
Pada zaman dahulu, ada sebuah keluarga kecil yang hidup bahagia. Keluarga tersebut
terdiri dari ayah, ibu, dan seorang gadis cantik bernama bawang putih. Mereka adalah
keluarga yang harmonis dan bahagia meskipun sang ayah hanya bekerja sebagai seorang
pedagang biasa. Suatu hari, kebahagiaan yang ada di dalam keluarga tersebut hilang
karena sang ibu meninggal. Bawang putih sangat sedih karena ia sangat menyayangi
ibunya, begitu juga sang ayah yang sangat sedih karena sang istri telah meninggal.
Setelah ibu bawang putih meninggal, rumahnya sering dikunjungi oleh seorang janda yang
mempunyai anak bernama bawang merah. Ibu bawang merah sering datang ke rumah
bawang putih dan membawakan makanan, membantu membersihkan rumah, dan
mengobrol dengan ayah bawang putih. Akhirnya, ayah bawang putih berpikir bahwa
sebaiknya ia menikah dengan janda tersebut dan menjadikannya sebagai ibu baru untuk
bawang putih.
Ia meminta usul dan pertimbangan dari bawang putih. Setelah diizinkan untuk menikah
oleh bawang putih, maka sang ayah segera melaksanakan pernikahan dengan ibu bawang
merah. Mereka menjadi sebuah keluarga baru dan tinggal di rumah tersebut. Pada
awalnya, ibu bawang merah dan bawang merah sangat baik terhadap bawang putih.
Namun, perilaku baik tersebut tidak bertahan lama. Lama-kelamaan bawang merah dan
ibunya mulai menunjukkan sikap buruk mereka. bawang putih sering dimarah dan
diberikan pekerjaan berat ketika sang ayah pergi berdagang. Ia harus mengerjakan banyak
pekerjaan rumah sementara bawang merah hanya duduk dan tidak bekerja sama sekali.
Namun, keadaan tersebut tidak pernah diceritakan olehnya kepada sang ayah, sehingga
bawang putih terus diperlakukan secara buruk oleh bawang merah dan ibunya.
Pada suatu hari sang ayah sakit dan meninggal dunia. Sejak saat itu, bawang merah dan
ibunya memperlakukan bawang putih semakin buruk. Bawang putih hampir tidak pernah
istirahat setiap hari. di pagi hari, ia harus bangun untuk mempersiapkan air dan sarapan
bagi bawang merah dan ibunya. Kemudian, ia juga harus member makan ternak, mencuci
baju, dan bahkan menyirami seluruh kebun. Meskipun pekerjaan yang harus ia kerjakan
begitu banyak, namun bawan putih melakukan semua itu dengan gembira. Ia berharap,
dengan keikhlasan tersebut, sang ibu mau menyayanginya dengan tulus dan
menganggapnya sebagai anak kandung.
Pada suatu pagi, bawang putih pergi ke sungai untuk mencuci baju. Dia begitu gembira dan
mencuci dengan penuh semangat. Karena terlalu semangat, ia tidak sadar bahwa ada
sebuah baju yang hanyut. Ia menyadari bahwa baju tersebut hanyut ketika telah terbawa
aliran yang cukup jauh. Kemudian, ia mengejarnya dan tidak mendapatkan baju tersebut.
Ia merasa putus asa dan segera pulang ke rumah.
Baju tersebut merupakan baju kesayangan ibu bawang merah. Tentu saja, sang ibu marah
dan menyuruhnya untuk mencari baju tersebut hingga ditemukan. Bawang putih kembali
lagi ke sungai dan berjalan ke arah barat untuk mencari baju kesayangan ibunya. Ia
berjalan menyusuri aliran sungai hingga puluhan kilometer. Setelah itu, bawang putih tibatiba melihat seseorang yang sedang memandikan kerbau di sungai. Ia bertanya kepada

orang itu mengenai baju yang hanyut. Kemudian, ia mendapat informasi bahwa baju ibu
bawang merah hanyut namun baju tersebut tidaklah jauh dari tempatnya berdiri. Saat itu
juga, bawang putih segera berlari menyusuri sungai untuk menemukan baju tersebut.
Hari semakin gelap dan bawang putih menemukan sebuah rumah. Karena sangat lelah, ia
memutuskan untuk beristirahat sejenak di rumah tersebut. Ternyata, di dalamnya tinggal
seorang nenek yang sebelumnya sudah menemukan baju milik ibu bawang putih. Sang
nenek ingin mengembalikan baju tersebut kepada bawang putih, dengan syarat bawang
putih harus menemaninya selama seminggu. Bawang putih begitu iba dengan nenek
tersebut, dan ia setuju untuk tinggal bersama sang nenek selama seminggu. Dalam waktu
satu minggu, ia membuat nenek tersebut amat gembira karena bekerja dengan rajin dan
tidak pernah mengeluh.
Setelah bawang putih menemani sang nenek selama seminggu, ia diberikan satu buah labu
sebagai hadiah. Ketika membuka labu tersebut, ia sangat terkejut karena didalamnya
terdapat emas dan permata yang begitu banyak. Ia segera pulang dan memberitahukan
kejadian tersebut kepada sang ibu dan juga bawang merah. Namun, emas dan permata
yang ia dapatkan segera direbut dan ia dipaksa untuk memberitahukan dimana perhiasan
tersebut dapat diperoleh. Bawang putih segera mengatakan bahwa ia mendapatkannya dari
seorang nenek yang tinggal di dekat sungai.
Esok hari, bawang merah datang ke rumah nenek tersebut dan tinggal selama satu
minggu. Namun, karena bawang merah adalah gadis yang malas, maka sang nenek
memberikannya labu yang berbeda dari bawang putih. Bawang merah tidak peduli dan ia
segera pulang dan membuka labu tersebut bersama ibunya. Ternyata, isi labu tersebut
bukanlah permata atau emas, namun ular berbisa yang menggigit bawang merah dan
ibunya. Kedua orang tersebut meninggal karena keserakahannya.
Bawang putih kini hidup sendiri namun ia lebih tenang karena tidak ada lagi orang yang
menganggunya. Ia hidup bahagia dengan emas dan permata yang dimilikinya.

therefore wanted to choose a successor. But unfortunately, he had no son. He thought of
choosing one of his daughters, Purbararang and Purbasari. But it wasnt an easy choice.
They were both very pretty and smart. The only difference was their temperament.
Purbararang was rude and dishonest, while Purbasari was kind and caring. With those
considerations, Prabu Tapa Agung finally chose Purbasari to be his successor.
Purbararang didnt agree with her fathers decision. Its supposed to be me, Father. Im the
eldest daughter! Purbararang said. Prabu Tapa Agung smiled. Purbararang, to be a queen
takes more than age. There are many other qualities that one must possess, explained
Prabu Tapa Agung wisely. What does Purbasari have that I dont? Purbararang pouted.
Youll find out when Purbasari has replaced me, Prabu Tapa Agung answered.
After the discussion, Purbararang went back to her room. Is there something wrong?
asked Indrajaya. Indrajaya is Purbararangs future husband. Im upset! Father chose
Purbasari as his successor and not me! I have to do something! Purbararang said. Driven
mad by her anger, she came to a witch and asked her to send rash all over Purbasaris
body. Before going to bed, Purbasari started to feel itch all over her body. She tried
applying powder to her body, but its no use. Instead, the itching grew even worse. She
didnt want to scratch it, but she just couldnt help it. In the next morning, there were
scratch mark all over Purbasaris body. What happened to you? asked Purbararang,
pretending to be concerned. I dont know, sis. Last night, my body suddenly felt very
itchy. I scratched and scratched, and this is what happened, Purbasari answered.
Purbararang shook her head. You must have done something really awful. Youve been
punished by the gods!
That day, the whole kingdom was scandalized. What have you done, Purbasari?
demanded Prabu Tapa Agung. Purbasari shook her head. I didnt do anything that would
upset the gods, Father, she answered. Then how can you explain what happened to your
body? Prabu Tapa Agung asked again. If you dont confess, Ill banish you to the woods.
Purbasari took a deep breath. Like I said before, I didnt do anything wrong. And Id rather
be thrown into the woods than to confess to a deed I didnt commit.
After a short discussion with his advisor, Prabu Tapa Agung ordered Purbasari to be moved
to the woods. Purbasari was very sad, but she couldnt do anything to defy her fathers
order. She was accompanied to the woods by a messenger. He built a simple hut for
Purbasari. After the messenger left, suddenly a black monkey came to Purbasaris hut. He
carried a bunch of bananas. From behind him, some animals looked on. Are the bananas
for me? Purbasari asked. The black monkey nodded, as if he understood what Purbasari
said. Purbasari took the bananas with pleasure. She also said thanks. The other animals
that were looking on also seemed to smile. Are you willing to be my friend? Purbasari
asked them. All the animals nodded happily. Although she was living by herself in the
woods, Purbasari never lacked of supplies. Everyday, there were always animals bringing
her fruits and fish to eat.
A long time had passed since Purbasari was banished to the woods, but her body still
itched. At some places, her skin was even ulcerating. What am I supposed to do?
Purbasari sighed. The monkey who was sitting next to her stayed still, there were tears in
his eyes. He hoped Purbasari would remain patient and strong.
One night, on a full moon, the monkey took Purbasari to a valley. There is a pond with hot
spring water. The monkey suddenly spoke, The water of this pond will heal your skin, he
said. Purbasari was surprised, You can talk? Who are you? she asked. Youll find out, in
time, the monkey said. Purbasari didnt want to force the monkey. She then walked to the
pond. She bathed there. After a few hours, Purbasari walked out of the pond. She was
shocked to see her face reflected on the clear pond water. Her face was beautiful again,
with smooth and clean skin. Purbasari observed her entire body. There were no traces of
any skin ailments. Im cured! Im cured! Purbasari shouted in joy. She quickly offered
thanks to the gods and also to the monkey.

The news of Purbasaris condition quickly spread to the kingdom, irritating Purbararang.
She then accompanied by Indrajaya go to the woods to see Purbasari. Purbasari asked if
she would be allowed to go home. Purbararang said she would let Purbasari return to the
palace if Purbasaris hair were longer than hers. Purbararang then let her hair down. It was
so long, it almost touched the ground. But it turned out that Purbasaris hair was twice
longer than Purbararangs hair.
Fine, so your hair is longer than mine. Purbararang admitted. But there is one more
condition you must fulfill, do you have a future husband who is handsomer than mine?
said Purbararang as she walked toward Indrajaya. Purbasari felt miserable. She didnt have
a future husband yet. So, without much thought, she pulled the black monkey beside her.
Purbararang and Indrajaya burst out, but their laughter didnt last long. The monkey
meditates and suddenly transformed into a very handsome young man, a lot more
handsome than Indrajaya. Im a prince from a kingdom far away. I was cursed to be a
monkey because of a mistake I committed. I could regain my true form only if theres a girl
who would be willing to be my wife, said the young man.
Finally, Purbararang gave up. She accepted Purbasari as the queen, and also confessed
everything she had done. Please forgive me. Please dont punish me, Purbararang said,
asking for forgiveness. Instead of being angry, Purbasari smiled. I forgive you, sis, she
said. Soon after, Purbasari become queen. Beside her was the handsome prince, the former
monkey known as Lutung Kasarung.

Prabu Tapa Agung .
Setelah diskusi , Purbararang kembali ke kamarnya . " Apakah ada sesuatu yang salah ? "
Tanya Indrajaya . Indrajaya adalah suami Purbararang masa depan . " Aku marah ! Bapa
memilih Purbasari sebagai penggantinya dan bukan aku! Aku harus melakukan sesuatu !"
Kata Purbararang . Gila karena kemarahannya , dia datang ke penyihir dan memintanya
untuk mengirim ruam seluruh tubuh Purbasari itu . Sebelum tidur , Purbasari mulai merasa
gatal di seluruh tubuhnya . Dia mencoba menerapkan bubuk tubuhnya , tapi itu tidak ada
gunanya . Sebaliknya , gatal tumbuh bahkan lebih buruk . Dia tidak ingin menggaruknya ,
tapi dia tidak bisa menahannya . Pada keesokan paginya , ada goresan tanda seluruh tubuh
Purbasari itu . " Apa yang terjadi padamu ? " Tanya Purbararang , berpura-pura menjadi

yang telah Anda lakukan, Purbasari ?" Menuntut Prabu Tapa Agung . Purbasari menggeleng
. " Aku tidak melakukan apa pun yang akan mengganggu para dewa , Bapa , " jawabnya . "
Lalu bagaimana Anda bisa menjelaskan apa yang terjadi pada tubuh Anda?" Tanya Prabu
Tapa Agung lagi . " Jika Anda tidak mengaku , aku akan mengusirmu ke hutan . " Purbasari
menarik napas panjang . " Seperti saya katakan sebelumnya , saya tidak melakukan
sesuatu yang salah . Dan aku lebih suka dilemparkan ke dalam hutan daripada mengakui

perbuatan yang tidak saya lakukan . "

Setelah diskusi singkat dengan penasihat , Prabu Tapa Agung memerintahkan Purbasari
untuk dipindahkan ke hutan . Purbasari sangat sedih , tapi ia tidak bisa berbuat apa-apa
untuk menentang perintah ayahnya . Dia ditemani ke hutan oleh seorang utusan . Ia
membangun sebuah pondok sederhana untuk Purbasari . Setelah utusan kiri , tiba-tiba
seekor monyet hitam datang ke gubuk Purbasari itu . Dia membawa setandan pisang . Dari
belakangnya , beberapa hewan memandang . " Apakah pisang untuk saya? " Tanya
Purbasari . Monyet hitam mengangguk , seolah-olah ia mengerti apa yang dikatakan
Purbasari . Purbasari mengambil pisang dengan senang hati. Dia juga mengucapkan terima

bersedia menjadi teman saya ? " Purbasari bertanya kepada mereka . Semua binatang
mengangguk senang . Meskipun ia hidup sendirian di hutan , Purbasari tidak pernah
kekurangan pasokan . Setiap hari , selalu ada hewan yang membawa buah-buahan dan
ikan untuk makan .
Sebuah waktu yang lama berlalu sejak Purbasari dibuang ke hutan, tapi tubuhnya masih
gatal . Di beberapa tempat , kulitnya bahkan ulserasi . Apa yang harus saya lakukan? "
Purbasari mendesah . Monyet yang duduk di sampingnya tinggal diam, ada air mata di
matanya . Dia berharap Purbasari akan tetap sabar dan kuat .
Suatu malam , pada bulan purnama , monyet mengambil Purbasari ke sebuah lembah .
Ada sebuah kolam dengan mata air panas. Monyet tiba-tiba berbicara , " Air kolam ini akan
menyembuhkan kulit Anda , " katanya . Purbasari terkejut , " Anda dapat berbicara ? Siapa
kau ?" Tanyanya . " Kau akan tahu , pada waktunya , " kata monyet . Purbasari tidak mau
memaksa monyet . Dia kemudian berjalan ke kolam . Dia mandi di sana. Setelah beberapa
jam , Purbasari keluar dari kolam. Dia terkejut melihat wajahnya tercermin pada air kolam
jernih . Wajahnya cantik lagi , dengan kulit halus dan bersih . Purbasari mengamati seluruh
tubuhnya . Tidak ada jejak penyakit kulit apapun. " Saya sembuh ! Aku sembuh !"
Purbasari berteriak dalam sukacita . Dia cepat menawarkan berkat para dewa dan juga
untuk monyet .
Kabar kondisi Purbasari dengan cepat menyebar ke kerajaan , menjengkelkan
Purbararang . Dia kemudian disertai oleh Indrajaya pergi ke hutan untuk melihat
Purbasari . Purbasari bertanya apakah dia akan diizinkan pulang ke rumah . Purbararang
mengatakan dia akan membiarkan Purbasari kembali ke istana jika rambut Purbasari yang
lebih panjang daripada miliknya . Purbararang kemudian membiarkan rambutnya turun .
Itu begitu lama , hampir menyentuh tanah . Tapi ternyata bahwa rambut Purbasari adalah
dua kali lebih panjang dari rambut Purbararang itu . " Baik-baik saja , sehingga rambut
Anda lebih panjang dari saya . " Purbararang mengakui ." Tapi ada satu syarat lagi yang
harus dipenuhi, apakah Anda memiliki calon suami yang tampan dariku ? " Kata
Purbararang sambil berjalan menuju Indrajaya . Purbasari merasa sengsara . Dia tidak
memiliki calon suami belum. Jadi , tanpa banyak berpikir , ia menarik monyet hitam di
sampingnya .
Purbararang dan Indrajaya meledak , tapi tawa mereka tidak berlangsung lama . Monyet
bermeditasi dan tiba-tiba berubah menjadi seorang pemuda yang sangat tampan , jauh
lebih tampan dari Indrajaya . " Saya seorang pangeran dari kerajaan yang jauh . Aku
dikutuk menjadi kera karena kesalahan yang saya lakukan. Saya bisa mendapatkan
kembali bentuk saya benar hanya jika ada seorang gadis yang bersedia untuk menjadi
istriku , " kata pemuda itu . Akhirnya , Purbararang menyerah . Dia menerima Purbasari
sebagai ratu , dan juga mengakui semua yang telah ia lakukan . " Maafkan saya . Tolong
jangan menghukum saya, " kata Purbararang , meminta pengampunan . Alih-alih marah ,
Purbasari tersenyum . " Aku memaafkanmu , sis , " katanya . Segera setelah itu , Purbasari
menjadi ratu . Di sampingnya adalah pangeran tampan , mantan monyet yang dikenal
sebagai Lutung Kasarung .

Cerita rakyat from East Java
Raden Putra was the king of Jenggala kingdom. He had a beautiful queen and concubine.
Unlike the queen, the concubine had bad personalities. She was envious and jealous with
the queen, so she planned to make the queen leave the palace. The concubine then asked
the royal healer to help her in her plan. One day, the concubine pretended to be ill. Raden
Putra called the royal healer to give the concubine treatments. What is her disease?
Raden Putra asked the royal healer. Im very sorry, My Majesty. She is sick because the
queen put poison in her meal, the royal healer lied.
Raden Putra was shock and angry to hear the explanation. He called the queen and asked
her if the story was true. Of course the queen denied, but Raden Putra wont listen. Please
Your Majesty, have mercy. I really didnt do anything, cried the queen in her tears. Raden
Putras anger ended in a decision. The queen should be banished to the woods and
terminated. He did not know that the queen was already pregnant. Raden Putra
commanded one of his general to do the punishment. The queen was banished to the
woods, but the wise general didnt have the heart to kill her. He built a simple house in the
woods for her. On his way back to the palace, he smeared his sword with rabbit blood, so
Raden Putra would believe that he had killed the queen.
After the general left, the queen lived by herself in the woods. Several months later, she
gave birth to a healthy baby boy. The baby was named Cindelaras. He grew up as a nice,
healthy, and handsome boy. One day, while Cindelaras helped her mother to collect some
fire woods, an eagle dropped an egg. Cindelaras brought the egg to be brooded by a
chicken behind their house. The egg hatched into a chick and then it slowly became a
strong rooster. The rooster is no ordinary rooster. The rooster could sing. Every morning,
the rooster woke Cindelaras up with its beautiful song, My master is Cindelaras. His house
is in the woods. Hes the son of Raden Putra. The rooster often sang that song.
Cindelaras always woke up early in the morning and listen happily to his roosters song. He
didnt realize the meaning of the song until one day, he started to think. Who is Raden
Putra? he asked his mother. The queen then told him the whole story. She also told him
why they were banned from the kingdom and lived in the woods. Cindelaras was very
surprised. He decided to go to the palace to meet the king, his father. Cindelaras asked her
mothers permission to go to the kingdom and to tell the king what really happened. He
also brought his rooster that grew bigger and stronger each day.
On his way, Cindelaras stopped at a village. There, he met some people who were involved
in cockfighting. They challenge him to see how strong his rooster was. If your rooster
wins, youll get a reward, said the man who challenged him. Cindelaras accepted the
challenge. In a few minutes, his rooster defeated the opponents rooster. He was
challenged again by other man, and one more time, his rooster won. He won again and
again.
The news about Cindelaras rooster quickly spread to the whole Jenggala kingdom and
made Raden Putra curious. So, he invited Cindelaras to the palace. What is your name,
boy? Raden Putra asked as Cindelaras arrived in the palace. My name is Cindelaras, Your
Majesty, Cindelaras answered. He felt both thrilled and happy to see Raden Putra.
Raden Putra challenged Cindelaras with one condition. If Raden Putras rooster won,
Cindelaras head would be cut off. But if Cindelaras rooster won, Raden Putra would share
half of his wealth. Cindelaras accepted the condition. The competition was held in the front
yard of the palace. The two roosters fought bravely. But in just a few minutes, Cindelaras
rooster won the fight! Raden Putra shook his head and stared at Cindelaras from his seat,
That rooster is no ordinary rooster, and the boy is not an ordinaty boy either. Who is he
exactly? he thought. Raden Putra was about to asked when suddenly Cindelaras rooster
sang the song, My master is Cindelaras. His house is in the woods. Hes the son of Raden
Putra.
Raden Putra was surprised. Is it true? he asked. Yes, My Majesty. My name is Cindelaras
and my mother was the queen, said Cindelaras. Raden putra called the general who had
banished the queen. The general then confessed that he never killed the queen. Later, the
royal healer also admitted his mistake. Raden Putra was so shocked. He immediately went

to the woods to pick up the queen. Ever since, Cindelaras and his parents lived happily
together. As for the concubine, she was sent to the jail as punishment.

Timun Mas

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.

menikah selama beberapa tahun , tetapi mereka tidak punya anak . Jadi mereka berdoa
kepada rakasa yang disebut Buta Ijo untuk memberi mereka anak-anak . Buta Ijo adalah
rakasa ganas dan kuat . Dia mengabulkan permintaan mereka dengan satu syarat . Ketika
anak-anak mereka telah dewasa, mereka harus mengorbankan mereka untuk Buta Ijo . Dia
suka makan daging segar manusia . Para petani setuju untuk kondisinya . Beberapa bulan
kemudian istri sedang hamil .
Dia melahirkan seorang bayi perempuan cantik . Mereka menamai dia Timun Emas . Para
petani senang . Timun Emas sangat sehat dan seorang gadis yang sangat cerdas . Dia juga
sangat rajin . Ketika ia masih remaja Buta Ijo datang ke rumah mereka . Timun Emas
ketakutan sehingga dia melarikan diri untuk bersembunyi . Para petani kemudian
mengatakan Buta Ijo bahwa Timun Emas masih anak-anak. Mereka memintanya untuk
menunda . Buta Ijo setuju . Dia berjanji untuk datang lagi . Tahun berikutnya Buta Ijo

datang lagi. Tapi lagi dan lagi orang tua mereka mengatakan bahwa Timun Emas masih
anak-anak.
Ketika ketiga kalinya Buta Ijo datang orang tua mereka telah mempersiapkan sesuatu
untuknya . Mereka memberi Timun Emas beberapa jarum bambu , biji mentimun , saus
dan garam .
' Timun , mengambil hal-hal ini '
' Apa ini ? '
' Ini adalah senjata Anda . Buta Ijo akan mengejar Anda . Dia akan makan Anda hidup .
Jadi berlari secepat Anda bisa. Dan jika ia akan menangkap Anda menyebarkan ini ke
tanah . Sekarang pergi! '
Timun Emas takut sehingga ia berlari secepat yang dia bisa . Ketika Buta Ijo tiba ia jauh
dari rumah . Dia sangat marah ketika ia menyadari bahwa mangsanya telah
meninggalkan . Jadi dia berlari mengejarnya . Dia memiliki hidung yang tajam sehingga ia
tahu apa arah berlari mangsanya .
Timun Emas hanya seorang gadis sementara Buta Ijo adalah rakasa sehingga ia bisa
dengan mudah menangkapnya up . Ketika ia hanya beberapa langkah di belakang Timun
Emas cepat menyebar benih-benih mentimun . Dalam hitungan detik mereka berubah
menjadi banyak tanaman merambat mentimun . The kelelahan Buta Ijo sangat haus
sehingga ia meraih dan makan mereka . Ketika Buta Ijo sedang sibuk makan mentimun
Timun Emas bisa melarikan diri .
Tapi segera Buta Ijo menyadari dan mulai berlari lagi . Ketika ia hanya beberapa langkah di
belakang Timun Emas melemparkan jarum bambu nya . Tak lama kemudian mereka
berubah menjadi pohon bambu lebat . Buta Ijo merasa sulit untuk lulus . Ini membawanya
beberapa waktu untuk memecahkan hutan bambu lebat . Sementara itu Timun Emas bisa
berlari lebih jauh .
Buta Ijo mengejarnya lagi . Ketika ia hampir menangkapnya lagi dan lagi Timun Emas
melemparkan riasnya . Kali ini berubah menjadi danau . Buta Ijo sedang sibuk
menyelamatkan diri sehingga Timun Emas berlari jalan . Tapi Buta Ijo bisa mengatasinya
dan terus mengejarnya .
Akhirnya ketika Timun Emas hampir tertangkap ia melemparkan garam itu . Segera tanah
tempat Buta Ijo berdiri berubah menjadi laut . Buta Ijo itu tenggelam dan tewas seketika .
Timun Emas bersyukur kepada Tuhan dan kembali ke rumahnya .

Roro Jonggrang

Long time ago, there was a kingdom named Prambanan. All the people of Prambanan lived
peacefully. But then, Prambanan kingdom was attacked and occupied by the Pengging
kingdom. Prambanan then was ruled by Bandung Bondowoso of Pengging kingdom. He was
a mean king. He also had great supernatural power. His soldiers were not only humans, but
also genies.
The king of Prambanan had a beautiful daughter named Loro Jonggrang. Bandung
Bondowoso fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. Youre very beautiful. Would you
be my queen? asked Bandung Bondowoso. Loro Jonggrang was shocked. She didnt like
Bandung Bondowoso because he was a mean person. She wanted to refuse, but she afraid
that Bandung Bondowoso would be angry and endangered the people of Prambanan. Then,
she came up with a plan. If you want to marry me, you have to build a thousand temples
for me in just one night, said Loro Jonggrang. What? Thats impossible! said Bandung
Bondowoso. But he did not give up. He consulted with his advisor. Your Majesty can asked
the genies to help built the temples, said the advisor.
So, Bandung Bondowoso summoned his entire genies soldier and commanded them to help
him built a thousand temples. The genies worked in unbelievable speed. Meanwhile, Loro
Jonggrang heard from her servant that the building of a thousand temples was almost
finished. She was so worried. But again, she came up with a great idea. She asked all of
her servants to help her. Please prepare a lot of straw and mortar. Please hurry up! said
Loro Jonggrang. Burn the straw and make some noise pounding the mortar, quickly. All
those servants did what Loro Jonggrang ordered them; burning straw and pounding the
mortar, making the genies think that the sun is going to rise.
Its already dawn. We have to go, said the leader of the genies to Bandung Bondowoso.
All the genies immediately stopped their work and ran for cover from the sun, which they
afraid of. They didnt know that the light was from the fire that burning the straw, not from
the sun.
Bandung Bondowoso cant stop the genies from leaving. He was angry. He knew Loro
Jonggrang had just tricked him. You cannot fool me, Loro Jonggrang. I already have 999
temples. I just need one more temple. Now, I will make you the one-thousandth temple.
He pointed his finger to Loro Jonggrang and said some mantras. Magically, Loro
Jonggrangs body turned into stone. Until now, the temple is still standing in Prambanan
area, Central Java. And the temple is called Loro Jonggrang temple.

What are myths, legends and folktales?
Storytelling is common to every culture. Most people enjoy listening to stories. Storytellers have
catered for the need for a 'good story' since the beginning of civilization.
Most people have their own favourite story from childhood and, often, these tales are both fascinating
and frightening. These stories include legends, myths and folktales.
What are legends?
A legend is a semi-true story, which has been passed on from person-to-person and has important
meaning or symbolism for the culture in which it originates. A legend usually includes an element of
truth, or is based on historic facts, but with 'mythical qualities'. Legends usually involve heroic
characters or fantastic places and often encompass the spiritual beliefs of the culture in which they
originate.
What are myths?
A myth is a story based on tradition or legend, which has a deep symbolic meaning. A myth 'conveys a
truth' to those who tell it and hear it, rather than necessarily recording a true event. Although some
myths can be accounts of actual events, they have become transformed by symbolic meaning or
shifted in time or place. Myths are often used to explain universal and local beginnings and involve
supernatural beings. The great power of the meaning of these stories, to the culture in which they

developed, is a major reason why they survive as long as they do - sometimes for thousands of years.
What are folktales?
A folktale is a popular story that was passed on in spoken form, from one generation to the next.
Usually the author is unknown and there are often many versions of the tale. Folktales comprise
fables, fairy tales, old legends and even 'urban legends'. Again, some tales may have been based on a
partial truth that has been lost or hidden over time. It is difficult to categorize folktales precisely
because they fit into many categories.
What is the difference between legends, myths and folktales?
Myths, legends and folktales are hard to classify and often overlap. Imagine a line (or continuum) as
illustrated below, with an historical account based on facts at one end and myths or cultural folktales
at the other; as you progress towards the mythical/folktale end of the line, what an event symbolises
to people, or what they feel about it, becomes of greater historical significance than the facts, which
become less important. By the time you reach the far end of the spectrum, the story has taken on a
life of its own and the facts of the original event, if there ever were any, have become almost
irrelevant. It is the message that is important.

What is the difference between a fable and a fairy tale?
A fable is explained as a short narrative making an edifying or cautionary point and often
employing as characters animals that speak and act like human beings, or a story about
legendary persons and exploits. Examples of fables are those of Aesop's Fables with more
than 600 narratives, including "The Goose with the Golden Eggs" and "The Wolf in Sheep's
Clothing." The word fable is derived from fabula, which is Latin for 'discourse', and is used
in literary criticism to refer to the actual events that take place in a narrative. "The Lion
King" is another notable fable.

A fairy tale is described as a fanciful tale of legendary deeds and creatures, usually
intended for children, or a fictitious, highly fanciful story or explanation. It usually involves
mythical characters such as elves, fairies, giants, goblins, or trolls. A famous collection
of fairy tales is that of Hans Christian Andersen, including "The Emperor's New Suit," "The
Princess and the Pea," and "The Ugly Duckling." Another collection offairy tales is that of
the Brothers Grimm. The term fairy tale is a rendering of a French term conte de fes.
