A long time ago, there lived on the island of Bali a giant-like creature (makhluk raksasa seperti) named
Kbo Iwo. The people of Bali used to say that Kbo Iwo was everything, a destroyer (perusak) as well as a
creator ( pencipta). He was satisfied with the meal, but this meant (berarti) for the Balinese people enough
food for a thousand men.
Difficulties arose (kesulitan muncul) when for the first time the barns (lumbung) were almost empty
and the new harvest (panen) was still a long way off. This made Kbo Iwo wild with great anger (kemarahan
yang besar). In his hunger (gantungan), he destroyed (perusak) all the houses and even all the temples. It
made the Balinese turn to rage (kemarahan).
So, they came together to plan steps to oppose (menentang) this powerful giant by using his stupidity
(kebodohan). They asked Kbo Iwo to build them a very deep (dalam) well, and rebuild all the houses and
temples he had destroyed (dirusak). After they fed (memberi makan) Kbo Iwo, he began to dig (menggali)
a deep hole (lubang).
One day he had eaten (dimakan) too much, he fell asleep in the hole. The oldest man in the village
(desa) gave a sign, and the villagers began to throw the limestone (batu gamping) they had collected before
into the hole. The limestone made the water inside the hole boiling . Kbo Iwo was buried (tertimbun) alive.
Then the water in the well rose higher and higher until at last it overflowed (meluap) and formed (dibentuk)
Lake Batur. The mound (gundukan) of earth dug from the well by Kbo Iwo is known as Mount Batur.

4. According to the story, if Kbo Iwa is never existed in Bali island, what do you think will happen?
(A) There will be no Bali island
(B) Bali People will never be angry
(C) All Bali people will live in a prosperous way
(D) We are not able see the beauty of Lake Batur

word oppose is
(A) Support
(B) Defeat
(C) Turn Against
(D) Beat

Once upon a time, there was a little boy, who was poor, dirty, and smelly, came into a little
village. He was very hungry and weak. He knocked at every door and asked for some food, but
nobody cared about him. Nobody wanted to help the little boy. Finally, a generous old woman helped
him. She gave him shelter and a meal. When the boy wanted to leave, the old woman gave him a
lesung, a big wooden mortar for pounding rice.

The crowd laughed mockingly. The boy wanted to try his luck; consequently, he stepped

from the hole left by stick, water spouted out. It did not stop until it flooded the village. And no one
was saved from the water except the little boy and the generous old woman who gave him shelter

Long long ago, there was a kingdom in West Java. The kingdom was ruled by a king named His
Majesty Prabu. Prabu was a kind and wise king. But it was a pity that Prabu and his queen hadn't got
any children. The queen often cried. That was why Prabu went to the jungle. There he prayed to God
every day, begging for a child.

A few months later, the queen got pregnant. Nine months later, a princess was born. Prabu and
Queen loved their beautiful daughter so much. They gave whatever she wanted. It made Princess turn
into a very spoiled girl.

One day, the princess celebrated her 17th birthday party. Many people gathered in the palace.
Then, Prabu took out a necklace which was made from gold and jewel. "My beloved daughter, today I
give you this necklace. Please, wear this necklace," said Prabu. "I don't want to wear it! It's ugly!"
shouted the princess. Then she threw the necklace. The beautiful necklace was broken. The gold and
jewels were spread out on the floor. Everybody couldn't say anything. They never thought that their
beloved princess would do that cruel thing. In their silence, people heard the queen crying. Every
woman felt sad and began crying, too. Then, everybody was crying. Then, there was a miracle. Earth
was crying.
 Suddenly, from the underground, a spring emerged. It made a pool of water. Soon, the place
became a big lake. The lake finally sank the kingdom.

Nowadays, people called the lake "Telaga Warna". It means "Lake of Color". On a bright day, the
