In ancient times in a village there lived Kebo Iwa, Kebo Iwa
was a large giant. His body was fat and fond of eating. More and more his body
grew. Lots of food. he likes to help villagers make houses, lift large stones
and make wells. He did not ask for anything in return, only the villagers had
to provide enough food for him.
If Kebo Iwa doesn't eat for two days then he will be angry.
if he is angry he will go berserk and destroy anything in front of him. No
matter the house or temple will be damaged. The garden and rice fields were
also damaged.
Because his body is very large, the food is very much. The
portion of Kebo Iwa's meal is like preparing a meal for a hundred people. even
though villagers do not need their energy, they must continue to provide food
for Kebo Iwa. Because if Kebo Iwa is hungry he will be angry and destroy
anything.
Until the dry season arrived. All residents' rice barns
began to empty. rice and other foodstuffs began to be difficult to obtain.
After a long time, the rain didn't come. Residents began to worry about the
situation of Kebo Iwa. Because, if he is hungry he will go berserk
It's true that people are worried. one day Kebo Iwa was
hungry, but the food was not ready because the supplies of the villagers had
run out. Let alone for Kebo Iwa, there is nothing for them to eat alone.
Kebo Iwa was angry and raging. He destroyed houses belonging
to residents. the temple as a place of worship was also not spared from the rage
of Kebo Iwa.
Residents fled to neighboring villages. But Kebo Iwa
continued to chase while shouting, Where's the food for me! Or you prefer to
destroy me!
Kebo Iwa is getting fiercer. he not only destroyed
buildings, but also ate livestock belonging to residents. The residents were
also victims of the violence of Kebo Iwa.
Seeing the damage caused by Kebo Iwa, the population became
upset and angry. They set a strategy to kill Kebo Iwa. they invited to make
peace with Kebo Iwa. With all kinds of ways they finally could collect a lot of
food and then approach Kebo Iwa.
At that time Kebo Iwa had just eaten a buffalo. He satiated
and lay on the grass.
Hi Kebo Iwa & hell!! Scold the Village Chief.
What is wrong? Do you want you to approach me? Kebo Iwa asked
suspiciously.
Actually we still need your energy. Houses and temples are
many that you destroy. What if you help us rebuild it. we will provide a lot of
food for you so you don't starve anymore, said the Village Chief.
Food? You will provide delicious food for me? Kebo Iwa's
eyes sparkled to hear the word food.
I agree I will make it for you!
Kebo Iwa is happy, not suspicious at all. the next day, Kebo
Iwa started working. With a relatively short time, some houses were completed
by Kebo Iwa. Meanwhile, the residents were busy collecting limestone in the
amount of bears. Kebo Iwa was confused as to why the residents collected
limestone so much. whereas the need for limestone for houses and temples is
sufficient.
Why do you collect so much limestone? Kebo Iwa asked.
Know Kebo Iwa. After you have finished building our house
and temple, we will make you a big and very beautiful house, said the Village
Chief.
kebo Iwa was very happy to hear it. There is not the
slightest suspicion from him. He is increasingly enthusiastic about helping
residents. In just a few days, residents' houses and temples were completed.
His job is only to dig a large well. this job takes a long time and requires
more energy. Kebo Iwa used his big and strong hands to dig the ground deep. The
more days the hole is made deeper. Kebo Iwa's body dropped further down. the
pile of ex-excavated land that was in the mouth of the hole was increasingly
mounting. Due to exhaustion, Kebo Iwa stopped to rest and eat. He ate very
much. Because of fatigue after eating he was sleepy, he fell asleep with a very
loud snoring sound.
Kebo Iwa's snoring sound was heard by residents who were
above the well. Finally, the residents immediately gathered at the place of the
wellbore. They saw Kebo Iwa sleeping deeply in it. that was when the Village
Chief led his citizens to throw limestone that they had prepared earlier into
the well. Because he was fast asleep, Kebo Iwa did not realize he was in
danger.
when the water in the well mixed with the capus began to overflow
and clog the nose of Kebo Iwa, then the giant realized. However, limestone
throws from the residents are increasing. Kebo Iwa can't do anything. despite
having a very large body and very strong power, he was unable to escape from
the pile of lime and well water which then buried him alive. Kebo Iwa
floundered for a while, his movements caused an earthquake for a moment but
then subsided and remained silent. presumably Kebo Iwa was dead buried in the
well.
Meanwhile, the well water is increasingly overflowing. The
well water flooded the village and formed a lake. The lake is now known as Lake
Batur. while heaps of land that are high enough form a hill into a mountain and
are called Mount Batur.
