Once upon a time, there lived an old widow. She did

gather fire wood in forest. In half way, Mbok Sarni meet with Giant. The Giant
said “Hey.... you can’t allow, before you give me child for my lunch”. Mbok
Sarni said, “ but i don’t have child Giant”. Finally, Giant give cucumber seeds
“Hey... i will give you child, spread

Two week later, in backyard Mbok Sarni’s house fruitful

to Giant. Mbok sarni was hidden Golden Cucumber. Then Mbok Sarni looking for
strategy, Mbok Sarni went to the mount for meet the Hermit in Cave (gua). The
Hermit (petapa) gave seed cucumbers, needle, salt and shrimp paste (terasi), “these will help your child”.
Then
Mbok Sarni gave four small bag to Golden Cucumber “my child, take these bag to help you from the Giant”.
A few days later, in afternoon the Giant come back again to Mbok Sarni’s house.

run away and go to the forest and bring the bag from Hermit. “Hey... Giant, i am here catch me if you can
haha” said Golden Cucumber.
The Giant was chasing Golden Cucumber. Golden Cucumber
was running fast but Giant was getting closer and closer. Golden Cucumber is
very smart, she arranged the srtategy. Golden Cucumber took something from her
little bag. First ways she was throwing seeds
cucumber, miraculously the forest became dense feld of cucumbers. The Giant was
very tired and hungry so he ate fresh
cucumbers. He ate too much that he felt sleepy and fell asleep soon.
The Giant had woke up, and try to chase again. Golden
Cucumber kept on running as fast as she could. The second ways she was throwing
the needles. Suddenly the land in forest changed growing high and sharp bamboo
trees. “Aarghhh... i’ll get you” said
the Giant felt pain (kesakitan) because the feet step on the bamboo but still
trying to chased her.
Third
ways Golden Cucumber throwing salt, Suddenly the forest changed into the ocean,
but the sea easily passed the Giant. And the last ways Golden Cucumber take out
the shrimp paste (terasi) and throw it. Suddenly the forest formed became
boiling sea of mud, and Giant spalsh in the mud, Giant eventually die.
Finally
“ O....thanks my God Almighty because i was saved from the Giant” said her. Finally, The Golden Cucumber come
