He
chased her. When she was almost caught,she dispersed the cucumber seeds from
the package and they suddenly became cucumber field. He was interested in
eating the cucumber. Thenshe was almost caught she dispersed the needles from
the package that became bamboo field. His feet were wounded and bled.pricked by
the bamboos. Yet he didn’t give up and kept chasing her,then she dispersed the
salt from the package and the field became a sea. Yet he kept chasing her.
Finally, she dispersed the terasi from the package. Suddenlyappeared boiling
sea mud, and finally he was dead. With the dead of the giant,Timun emascould
live happily with her mother
