    Buto Ijo, the green giant, was lurking behind the giant tree in the farm. He mumbled to himself, 'Today, I must get Timun Mas!'

    In her home, Timun Mas was enjoying the sunny day. She exclaimed, 'The weather is so nice today. I want to play outside!'

    Timun Mas ran, throwing cucumber seeds, needles, salt, and shrimp paste behind her. Each item transformed into an obstacle for Buto Ijo.

    The shrimp paste turned into a sea of lava, trapping Buto Ijo. He roared in defeat, 'I have lost this time, but I will return!'
