In his hunger, he 4.....all the houses and even all the temples. It made the Balinese turn to rage. So, they 5.....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 6.....a sign, and the villagers 7.....to throw the limestone they had collected before into the hole. The limestone made the water inside the hole boiling.

Kbo Iwo was 8.....alive. Then the water in the well 9.....higher and higher until at last it overflowed and 10.....Lake Batur. The mound of earth dug from the well by Kbo Iwo is known as Mount Batur.
