The Legend of Lake Batur

Long Time ago there [¹was] a giant named Kebo Iwo. He was big, tall and strong. He [²ate ] very much. He [³would] get very angry if his favourite food was not well prepared.

Once, during the famine, all of the rice barns were empty. The people of the village [⁴could] not provide him with enough food. Kebo Iwo was very angry, he ate everything he found and [⁵destroyed] the village. The people [⁶were] frightened.

They assembled and [⁷discussed] how to ease Kebo’s anger. The leader of the village [⁸went] to meet Kebo Iwo, He [⁹told] the saint that people would provide him with enough food provided that he rebuilt the peoples’ houses and dig a well.

The next day he [¹⁰began] to work. He immediately rebuilt houses and temples and dug a well. The water at the well blowed up and formed a lake called Lake Batur, meanwhile the amount of soil formed a mountain called Mount Batur.
