A
long time ago, there lived on the island of Bali, a giant like a creature name
Kbo Iwo. The people of Bali used to say that Kbo Iwo was everything, a
destroyer as well as a creator. He was satisfied with the meal, but this meant
for the Balinese people enough food for a thousand men.
Difficulties
arose when for the first time the barns were almost empty and the new harvest
was still a long way off. This made Kbo Iwo wild with great anger. In his
hunger, he destroyed all the houses and even all the temples. It made the
Balinese turn to rage. So, they came together to plan steps to oppose this
powerful giant by using his stupidity.
They
asked Kbo Iwo to build them a very deep well, and rebuild all the houses and
temples he had destroyed. After they fed Kbo Iwo, he began to dig a deep hole.
One day he had eaten too much, he fell asleep in the hole. The oldest man in
the village gave a sign, and the villagers began to throw the limestone they
had collected before into the hole. The limestone made the water inside the
hole boiling. Kbo Iwo was buried alive. Then the water in the well rose higher
and higher until at last it overflowed and formed Lake Batur. The mound of
earth dug from well by Kbo Iwo is known as Mount Batur.
