female. I will think of you as my sister if you are a boy I will marry you suddenly a
male dog his name Tumang comes. He brings her a falling tool. Dayang Sumbi was
very surprised. He regretted his words but he couldn't deny it. So he married Tumang
and left his father. Then they lived in a small village. A few months later they had a
son. His name is Sangkuriang. He is a handsome and healthy boy.

Sangkuriang really likes hunting, especially deer. He often hunts into the
forest using his arrows. When he went hunting, Tumang was always with him.

One day Dayang Sumbi wanted to have a deer's heart so she asked
Sangkuriang to hunt deer. Then Sangkuriang went to the wood with his arrow and his
loyal dog. Tumang, but after a few days in the forest Sangkuriang did not find any
deer. Then where did it all disappear. Sangkuriang was exhausted and desperate. He
didn't want to disappoint his mother so he killed Tumang. He did not know that
Tumang was his father. Tumang's heart for his mother. But Dayang Sumbi knew that
it was Tumang's heart. He was so angry that he couldn't control his emotions. He hit
Sangkuriang on the head. Sangkuriang was injured. There is a scar on his head. He
also kicked out his son. Sangkuriang left his mother in sorrow.

Years passed and Sangkuriang became a strong young man. He roams

everywhere. One day he arrived. in his own village but he didn't realize it. There he
met Dayang Sumbi. At that time Dayang Sumbi was given eternal beauty by God so
that she was forever young. The two of them do know each other. So they fell in love
and then they decided to get married. But then Dayang Sumbi recognized the scar on
Sangkuriang's head. He knew that Sangkuriang was his son. It was impossible for
them to get married. She tells him but he doesn't believe her. He hopes they get
married soon. So Dayang Sumbi gave very difficult conditions. He asked
Sangkuriang to build a lake and a boat in one night! He says he needs it for
honeymoon.

 Sangkuriang agreed. With the help of genies and spiritists, Sangkuriang was
tired of building them. By midnight he had finished the lake by building a dam on the
Citarum river. Then he started making boats. It was almost dawn when he almost
finished it. Meanwhile Dayang Sumbi kept an eye on him. He was very worried when
he found out this. So he made a lamp in the east. Then the spirits thought it was
dawn. It was time for them to leave. They left Sangkuriang alone. Without their help

Troubles arise when for the first time the barns are almost empty and the new

he destroyed all the houses and even all the temples. It made the Balinese people
angry.

So, they got together to plan steps to fight this powerful giant 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 started digging a
deep hole.

One day he ate too much, he fell asleep in the hole. The oldest man in the
village gave a signal, and the villagers started throwing the limestone they had
collected earlier into the hole. The limestone made the water in the hole boil. Kbo
