Fourth Meeting (Jack & the Beanstalk)

Once upon a time there was a poor widow who had an only son named Jack.  They were so poor that they didn’t have anything except a cow.  When the cow had grown too old, his mother sent Jack to the market to sell it.  On the way to the market, Jack met a butcher who had some beautiful beans in his hand.  The butcher told the boy that the beans were of great value and persuaded the silly lad to sell the cow for the beans.
Jack brought them, happily.  When he told his mother about this, his mother became so angry that she threw the beans out of the window.  When Jack woke up in the morning, he felt the sun shining into a pan of his room, but all the rest was quite dark and shady.  So he jumped to the window.  What did he see? The beanstalk grew up quite close past Jack’s window.  He opened the window and jumped to the beanstalk which ran up just like a big ladder
He climbed and climbed till at last he reached the sky.  While looking around, he saw a very huge castle.  He was very amazed.  Then Jack walked along the path leading to the castle.  There was a big tail woman on the doorstep.  Jack greeted her and asked for the giantess mercy to give him breakfast, because he fell very hungry.  Although the giantess grumbled at first, finally she gave Jack a hunk of bread and cheese and a jug of milk.
Jack hadn’t finished when the whole house began to tremble with the noise of someone’s coming.  “Oh! It’s my husband!” cried the giantess.  “What on earth shall I do?” Hastily the giantess opened a very big cupboard and hid Jack there.

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.
