beautiful fairy lived in that mountain.

gave up before they met the fairy and some others could not stand the cold.
This young man was different. He could climb the mountain and did not give up. He
climbed and climbed for the whole week. The weather was so cold but he kept climbing for
the fairy’s palace.
He finally met the beautiful fairy and they fell in love with each other. But the fairy was
not happy.
“We can’t live together. My father would not allow me to marry a man,” said the fairy.

hot. And you can’t live at my place because it’s too cold. I’m afraid you will die,” explained
the fairy.
Therefore, they had to separate. Since that day, the young man promised to himself that

cucumber. In seconds, they turned into many vines of cucumber. 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. Buta Ijo
chased her again. When he almost caught her, Timun Emas threw her dressing. This time, it
