+ | Once upon a time, when there still kingdoms in Bali, there was a widow with two children, a boy and a girl. At that time Lake Bratan did not yet exist. Long story short, the mother had a secret affair with a dragon snake that dwelled in a rice barn near her house. The children started to get suspicious; why does mother every time she comes home from the forest go up into the barn? At one point, when mother went into the forest again, the children climbed into the barn. Inside the barn they saw a pile of eggs larger than chicken eggs. In the middle of the pile of eggs there was a strange egg. They took the egg home and cooked it. Then the boy ate it. Instantly the boy turned into a snake. Because they were worried about causing commotion in the village, the boy and girl decided to go into the forest looking for their mother. The sister carried her brother. They met their mother deeply in love with a dragon. They were angry, because they thought that because of the dragon the brother had become like that. He challenged the dragon snake to fight. In the end, the brother who had been transformed into a snake defeated the dragon. But unfortunately their mother also died in the fight. The siblings went up to Bukit Lesung. Arriving there, the brother thought he must enter the bowels of the earth, because he had become a dragon, named Naga Gombang. So as not to upset his sister, he told her to get water with a basket. While his sister was getting water, the brother entered the mountain crater. When his sister returned from getting water, the brother had already disappeared into the bowels of the earth. The brother said, “Don't you cry, I was destined to live below”. Arriving below, the brother took the position of a sleeping snake, curled up in a circle. | ||
+ | It is said that if he is anxious to know how is sister is doing above, he would move, which results in the earth moving. That is why when there is an earthquake, Balinese people will shout "alive, alive" while sounding a bamboo bell, to let the brother that his sister is still alive above, and he can stop moving about. | ||
