But in one day, when the Queen walked on the banks of the river, a little fish lifted its head out of the water and said, "What do you wish would be fulfilled, and you will soon have a daughter."

What the little fish predicted soon become a reality. The Queen finally gave birth to a little girl who was so beautiful, so the King could not contain his excitement and held a banquet on a large scale.

He then invited all his relatives, friends, and the entire population in the kingdom. All the fairies in his kingdom were also invited, so they can care for and give blessings to the young daughter of the new born.

In his kingdom, there were thirteen fairies and the King had only twelve gold plates, so the king decided to invite the fairy twelve men only and does not invite the thirteenth fairy.

 All guests and fairies have been present. And after supper, they give the best gifts for the little princess, a fairy gives people the good, the other fairies give beauty, others again provide wealth, and so did the other fairies, so the little girl almost get all the the best things in the world.

When the fairy who gave his blessing finished eleventh, thirteenth fairy who did not receive an invitation and became very angry that, come and take revenge. He said, "Daughter of the King in the age of fifteen, to be pricked by a sewing needle and die."

Then the twelfth fairy who has not given his blessing to his daughter, came forward and said, that the curse is said by the thirteenth fairy was going to happen, but he can soften the curse, the Princess will not die, but only fell asleep for a hundred years.

The king hoped that he could save his beloved princess from the threat of condemnation, and ordered all the sewing needle in his palace should be taken out and destroyed.

Meanwhile, all the blessings given by the fairies had materialized, the Princess became very beautiful, gracious, kind-hearted, and wise, until all the people loved him very much.

Just at the age of fifteen, King and Queen left the palace of chance, and the Princess was left alone in the palace. The Princess roam alone in the palace and see the rooms that existed at the palace.

Until finally he went into one old tower, which is located one narrow staircase leading up to the end with a small door. On the door hangs a golden key, and when he opened the door, he saw an elderly woman was sewing with a sewing needle and look very busy.

"O good mother," said the Princess, "What are you doing here?"

"Tailoring and embroidery," said the old woman, then nodded his head.

"How beautiful the results sulamanmu!" said the Princess, and took a sewing needle and started embroidering. However, he accidentally pricked by a needle and what was predicted when she was little, there, the Princess fell to the ground as if dead.

Even menyalapun fire to a standstill, the meat is baked into stiff, a cook, who was by then pull the hair of a child who do things that are less good, also fell asleep, all fast asleep and silent.

Quickly thorny wild plants growing around the palace and the palace fence, and every year grew thicker and thicker, until all places are surrounded by plants and become invisible again.

Even the roofs and chimneys also can not be seen, because it has been covered by these plants. However, news of the beautiful princess who slept spread throughout the mainland, so many children of King and Prince tried to come and try to get into the palace.

However, they can never succeed, because the thorns and plants that lie establish and ensnare them as if there is the hand that holds them, and eventually they can not progress any further.

After years passed, the people who had parents tell a story about a princess who is beautiful, what a thick thorn hedge the princess's palace, and how beautiful castle hidden in the thorn.

They also tell what he heard from his grandfather first, that has many princes who tried to penetrate the thicket, but it never works.

Then a prince who heard the story said, "All these stories will not be scary for me. I'll go and see the Sleeping Beauty." Although parents have prevented the prince told me to go, the prince was still forced to go.

Currently, one hundred years have passed, and when the prince came into the bushes bordering the palace, which he saw was the beautiful plants that can be gone through with ease.

Plants are closing again with a meeting, when the prince has been through it. When the prince finally arrived at the palace, he saw a dog that is sleeping in the yard, as well as horses that are at home to the palace, and on the roof he saw a pigeon who is asleep with his head under his wing.

And when he entered the palace, he saw a fly on the wall of the palace was asleep, and the cook was still holding the child's hair is visible wince in sleep, as if the cook wants to beat the child.

When he went further into the back, everything was so quiet, so he could hear his breathing alone. Until finally, he arrived at the old tower and opened the door, where Sleeping Beauty is located.

Sleeping Beauty looks so beautiful, so the prince can not remove his eyes from the Princess. The Prince then knelt and kissed the Princess. That's when the Princess opened her eyes and awoke, smiled at the Prince since the thirteenth fairy's curse has been broken.

They both went out of the tower and it was also the King and Queen also has built including all the ministers who looked at each other in amazement. The horses whinnied the palace was awake and the dogs are also jumping up and barking, the pigeons on the roof removing his head from under her wings, looked around and then fly to the sky.

One night, when she was praying, a giant passed her house and heard her pray. “I can give you a child on one condition,” the giant said to Mbok Sirni, “You must give the child back to me when it is six years old.” Mbok Sirni was so happy; she did not think about the risk of losing the child later and agreed to take the giant’s offer. The giant then gave her a bunch of cucumber seeds. “Plant it around your house.” The giant then left without saying anything else. In the morning, Mbok Sirni planted the seeds. The seeds grew within mere days, and blossomed plentifully.Not longer after that, a big golden cucumber grew from plants. Carefully, Mbok Sirni plucked the golden cucumber and carried it home. With caution and care, she sliced the cucumber. She was very surprised to see a beautiful baby girl inside the cucumber. She then named the baby Timun Emas (it means Golden Cucumber).

Years passed by and Timun Emas has grew to become a lovely and beautiful little girl. She was also smart and kind. Mbok Sirni loved her very much. But she kept thinking about the time the giant would take Timun Emas away from her. One night, Mbok Sirni had a dream. In order to save Timun Emas from the giant, she had to meet the holy man who lived in Mount Gundul. The next morning, Mbok Sirni took leave of Timun Emas to go to Mount Gundul. The holy man then gave her four little bags, each one containing cucumber seeds, needles, salt, and shrimp paste. “Timun Emas can use these to protect herself,” said the holy man to Mbok Sirni.

A few days later, the giant came to see Mbok Sirni about her promise. “Mbok Sirni! Where is Timun Emas?” shouted the giant. “My daughter, take these bag with you. It can save you from the giant. Now, run through the back door,” said Mbok Sirni. But the giant saw Timun Emas running to the woods. The giant was angry. Starved and enraged, he rushed toward Timun Emas.

She threw the seeds, and instantly they grew into large cucumber field. But the giant ate them all, giving him more strength. As the giant was getting close, Timun Emas took the second bag with needles inside and spilled the content behind her. The needles turned into bamboo trees, sharp and thorny. The giant’s body was scratched and bled. “Aaargh, I’ll get you, Timun Emas!” shouted the giant as he tried to get himself out from the bamboo field. He made it and still chasing Timun Emas.

Timun Emas then reached the third bag and spilled the salt inside. The ground which the salt touched turned into a deep sea. The giant almost drown and had to swim to cross the sea. After some time, he managed to get out from the water. Timun Emas saw the giant coming, so she reached for the last bag. She took the shrimp paste and threw it.

The Frog King

In olden times when wishing still helped one, there lived a king whose daughters were all beautiful, but the youngest was so beautiful that the sun itself, which has seen so much, was astonished whenever it shone in her face. Close by the king’s castle lay a great dark forest, and under an old lime-tree in the forest was a well, and when the day was very warm, the king’s child went out into the forest and sat down by the side of the cool fountain, and when she was bored she took a golden ball, and threw it up on high and caught it, and this ball was her favorite plaything.

Now it so happened that on one occasion the princess’s golden ball did not fall into the little hand which she was holding up for it, but on to the ground beyond, and rolled straight into the water. The king’s daughter followed it with her eyes, but it vanished, and the well was deep, so deep that the bottom could not be seen. At this she began to cry, and cried louder and louder, and could not be comforted. And as she thus lamented someone said to her, “What ails you, king’s daughter? You weep so that even a stone would show pity.”

She looked round to the side from whence the voice came, and saw a frog stretching forth its big, ugly head from the water. “Ah, old water-splasher, is it you,” she said, “I am weeping for my golden ball, which has fallen into the well.” “Be quiet, and do not weep,” answered the frog, “I can help you, but what will you give me if I bring your plaything up again?” “Whatever you will have, dear frog,” said she, “My clothes, my pearls and jewels, and even the golden crown which I am wearing.” The frog answered, “I do not care for your clothes, your pearls and jewels, nor for your golden crown, but if you will love me and let me be your companion and play-fellow, and sit by you at your little table, and eat off your little golden plate, and drink out of your little cup, and sleep in your little bed – if you will promise me this I will go down below, and bring you your golden ball up again.”

“Oh yes,” said she, “I promise you all you wish, if you will but bring me my ball back again.” But she thought, “How the silly frog does talk. All he does is to sit in the water with the other frogs, and croak. He can be no companion to any human being.”

But the frog when he had received this promise, put his head into the water and sank down; and in a short while came swimmming up again with the ball in his mouth, and threw it on the grass. The king’s daughter was delighted to see her pretty plaything once more, and picked it up, and ran away with it. “Wait, wait,” said the frog. “Take me with you. I can’t run as you can.” But what did it avail him to scream his croak, croak, after her, as loudly as he could. She did not listen to it, but ran home and soon forgot the poor frog, who was forced to go back into his well again.

The next day when she had seated herself at table with the king and all the courtiers, and was eating from her little golden plate, something came creeping splish splash, splish splash, up the marble staircase, and when it had got to the top, it knocked at the door and cried, “Princess, youngest princess, open the door for me.” She ran to see who was outside, but when she opened the door, there sat the frog in front of it. Then she slammed the door to, in great haste, sat down to dinner again, and was quite frightened. The king saw plainly that her heart was beating violently, and said, “My child, what are you so afraid of? Is there perchance a giant outside who wants to carry you away?” “Ah, no,” replied she. “It is no giant but a disgusting frog.”

“What does a frog want with you?” “Ah, dear father, yesterday as I was in the forest sitting by the well, playing, my golden ball fell into the water. And because I cried so, the frog brought it out again for me, and because he so insisted, I promised him he should be my companion, but I never thought he would be able to come out of his water. And now he is outside there, and wants to come in to me.”

In the meantime it knocked a second time, and cried, “Princess, youngest princess, open the door for me, do you not know what you said to me yesterday by the cool waters of the well. Princess, youngest princess, open the door for me.”

Then said the king, “That which you have promised must you perform. Go and let him in.” She went and opened the door, and the frog hopped in and followed her, step by step, to her chair. There he sat and cried, “Lift me up beside you.” She delayed, until at last the king commanded her to do it. Once the frog was on the chair he wanted to be on the table, and when he was on the table he said, “Now, push your little golden plate nearer to me that we may eat together.” She did this, but it was easy to see that she did not do it willingly. The frog enjoyed what he ate, but almost every mouthful she took choked her. At length he said, “I have eaten and am satisfied, now I am tired, carry me into your little room and make your little silken bed ready, and we will both lie down and go to sleep.”

The king’s daughter began to cry, for she was afraid of the cold frog which she did not like to touch, and which was now to sleep in her pretty, clean little bed. But the king grew angry and said, “He who helped you when you were in trouble ought not afterwards to be despised by you.” So she took hold of the frog with two fingers, carried him upstairs, and put him in a corner, but when she was in bed he crept to her and said, “I am tired, I want to sleep as well as you, lift me up or I will tell your father.” At this she was terribly angry, and took him up and threw him with all her might against the wall. “Now, will you be quiet, odious frog,” said she. But when he fell down he was no frog but a king’s son with kind and beautiful eyes. He by her father’s will was now her dear companion and husband. Then he told her how he had been bewitched by a wicked witch, and how no one could have delivered him from the well but herself, and that to-morrow they would go together into his kingdom.

Then they went to sleep, and next morning when the sun awoke them, a carriage came driving up with eight white horses, which had white ostrich feathers on their heads, and were harnessed with golden chains, and behind stood the young king’s servant Faithful Henry. Faithful Henry had been so unhappy when his master was changed into a frog, that he had caused three iron bands to be laid round his heart, lest it should burst with grief and sadness. The carriage was to conduct the young king into his kingdom. Faithful Henry helped them both in, and placed himself behind again, and was full of joy because of this deliverance. And when they had driven a part of the way the king’s son heard a cracking behind him as if something had broken. So he turned round and cried, “Henry, the carriage is breaking.” “No, master, it is not the carriage. It is a band from my heart, which was put there in my great pain when you were a frog and imprisoned in the well.” Again and once again while they were on their way something cracked, and each time the king’s son thought the carriage was breaking, but it was only the bands which were springing from the heart of Faithful Henry because his master was set free and was happy.
