One day when the
rabbit was walking in the forest, he heard someone crying out, “ Help ! Help
!” He looked around, and finally he saw
a wolf. A great stone had fallen on his back so that he could not get up. He
asked the rabbit’s help, and said that he would die if nobody helped him.
The rabbit worked very hard, and finally
managed to get the big stone off the wolf’s back. Then the wolf jumped up and
caught the rabbit in his mouth. The rabbit cried and asked for mercy, but the
wolf insisted on killing for his meal.
Then the rabbit said, “ No good person
kills someone who has helped him. It is not fair. You can ask the duck, who is
very fat and knows everything.”
So both of them went to the duck. He
listened to their story, and then he said, “ Show me the stone.” They went to the stone.
“ Now let me be sure about this,” said
the duck. “ Put the stone on the wolf’s back exactly as it was when you found him”. So the wolf lay down, and with much effort
the stone was put on his back again.”
“ Well, what do you think ?” the wolf
asked the duck.
The duck thought for a moment. Then he
said, “ I think you were wrong to be cruel to the rabbit, who helped you. Now
see if someone else will help you !” Then the rabbit and the duck ran leaving
the wolf away.

A long time ago, there lived on the
island of Bali a giant-like creature named 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 the well by Kbo Iwo is known as Mount
Batur.
