A long time ago, there lived on the island of Bali a giant-like creature named Kebo Iwo. The people of Bali used to say that Kebo 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 Kebo 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 Kebo Iwo to build them a very deep well, and rebuild all the houses and temples he had destroyed. After they fed Kebo 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. Kebo 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 Kebo Iwo is known as Mount Batur.

Long time ago a remote village, in central China, was inhabited mainly with farmers and hunters.

One day, a poor farmer lost his entire livestock to flood. He prayed hard to God for help or his family would die of starvation.

Few days later an old man, with long grey beard, passed by his house took pity on him. He gave him a goose and said. ″I don’t have any expensive thing to give you and hope this goose will help you to ease your hardship. ″

A week later to his most surprise the farmer found an egg in his yard. This was not an ordinary egg. It was a golden egg. He was suddenly overcome with joy. Thereafter, the livelihood had rapidly improved but the farmer had forgotten his earlier hardship. He became lazy, arrogant and spendthrift.

Strangely, the goose only laid one golden egg every six months. The greedy farmer lost his patient and slaughtered his goose thinking there were plenty of golden eggs inside its stomach.

Though the very much regretted for his foolishness, it’s already too late.
