A long time ago, there lived on island of bali a giantlike creature named Kbo iwo. Thye people of bali used to say that kbo iwo was everything, a destroyer as well as a creator. People thought he waso build great temples, enormous structures and huge irirgation  work, but they also knew that he could destroy them all afterwards. Kbo iwo did not ask money in return for the work he did. 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 barn were almost empty and new harvest was still a long way off. This made kbo iwo wild with great anger. In this hunger, he destroyed all the house and even all the temples. It made the Balinese turn to rage. So, they came together to plan steps to oppose this powerfull 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 do dig a deep hole. One day he had eaten to much, he fell asleep in the hole. The oldest man in the village gave s sign, and villagers began to throw the limestone they had collected before into the hole. The limestone made 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 the well by kbo iwo is known as mount batur.
