Tim go with you through the forest.”

A long time ago, there lived a beautiful woman by the name Roro Anteng. She was well-known of her
beauty and had attracted the attention of an evil giant. Because the evil giant possessed extraordinary

his task. Frustrated, he threw the coconut shell that he used to dig the desert, the shell fell to the ground
beside Mount Bromo, forming what is now knows as Mount Batok (coconut shell). The sandy plain was to
form the Tengger caldera.
