A long time ago, there lived on the island of Bali a giant-like creature named Kbo lwo. The people of Bali used to say that Kbo lwo 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 lwo 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 lwo to build them a very deep well, and rebuild all the houses and temples he had destroyed. After they fed Kbo lwo, 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 lwo 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 the well by Kbo lwo is known as Mount Batur.
According to the story, if Kbo lwa is never existed in Bali island, what do you think will happen?
