Kbo Iwo, a giant-like creature, was once believed to have lived on the island of Bali. According to the Balinese people, he possessed both destructive and creative powers. It was said that Kbo Iwo had an insatiable appetite, consuming enough food to feed a thousand men. Difficulties arose when the barns on the island were nearly empty and the new harvest was still far away. This enraged Kbo Iwo, who in his hunger, destroyed houses and temples, causing the Balinese people to become furious. In an attempt to counter the powerful giant, the Balinese people devised a plan to exploit his stupidity. They requested Kbo Iwo to build a deep well and rebuild the structures he had destroyed. Once Kbo Iwo had been fed, he began digging the well. One day, after consuming an excessive amount of food, Kbo Iwo fell asleep in the hole he had dug. Seizing the opportunity, the villagers threw limestone into the well, causing the water inside to boil.
