Once upon a time, there was a young man called Ma Liang. He was poor. He helped a
rich bad man to tend cattle. He liked drawing and drew pictures everywhere. One night, he
dreamed that an old man gave him a magic paintbrush and asked him to use it to help poor
people. When he woke up, he found the magic paintbrush in his desk.
From that day on, he used the paintbrush to help people. Whenever he drew pictures,
they became real. But a few days later, his master heard about the magic paintbrush and stole
it. He drew a lot of pictures, but they could not become real. He was very angry and asked
some people to get Ma Liang.
When Ma Liang came, he said to him, “If you draw some pictures for me and turn
them to life, I will set you free.” The young man said, “I can help you, but you should obey
your words.” The bad man felt very happy and said, “I want a golden mountain. I will go
there to gather gold.” The young man drew a sea first. Then the young man drew a golden
mountain which was far away from the sea. After that he drew a big ship. The bad man
jumped into the ship. When the ship sailed to the middle of the sea, the young man drew a
large wave and it destroyed the ship. After that, the young man lived with his family happily
and kept on helping the poor people. So, the magic paintbrush was known by everyone.

Long time ago, there was a handsome young man who wanted to climb the Alp
mountain. The mountain was so cold and covered with thick snow. People said that a
beautiful fairy lived in that mountain.
The young man wanted to marry the fairy. He also wanted to see the beautiful palace
made of ice. Many people tried to climb the mountain but all of them failed. Some of them
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.
“Why not?” asked the young man.
“Because we live in two different worlds. I can’t stay in your world because it is too
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
he would not marry anyone. The beautiful fairy was so sad that she cried every day. Every
time her tears flowed down on the mountain, it became a beautiful white flower called
Edelweiss.

Long time ago in the Island of Java, there 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. He granted their wish on one condition. When their children had grown up,
they had to sacrifice them to Buta Ijo.
The wife soon gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. They named her Timun Emas. The
farmers were happy. 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. The following year Buta Ijo came again. But the parents said that Timun Emas
was still a child. When the third time Buta Ijo came, the parents had prepared something for
him. They gave Timun Emas several bamboo needles, seeds of cucumber, dressing and salt.
“These are your weapons, Timun Emas. Buta Ijo will chase you and eat you alive. So,
run as fast as you can, if he will catch you spread this to the ground.”
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. When he was just several steps behind Timun Emas quickly spread the seeds of
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
turned into a lake. Buta Ijo was busy to save himself so Timun Emas ran way.
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.

for some years but they had no children. So, they prayed to a monster called Buta Ijo to give
them children. He granted their wish on one condition. When their children had grown up,
they had to sacrifice them to Buta Ijo.
The wife soon gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. They named her Timun Emas. The
farmers were happy. 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. The following year Buta Ijo came again. But the parents said that Timun Emas
was still a child. When the third time Buta Ijo came, the parents had prepared something for
him. They gave Timun Emas several bamboo needles, seeds of cucumber, dressing and salt.
“These are your weapons, Timun Emas. Buta Ijo will chase you and eat you alive. So,
run as fast as you can, if he will catch you spread this to the ground.”
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. When he was just several steps behind Timun Emas quickly spread the seeds of
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
turned into a lake. Buta Ijo was busy to save himself so Timun Emas ran way.
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.
