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 of the houses and
even 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.
