the intricate bamboo frame he was working on, then placed it carefully on a bench inside a small pavilion. P9Enough for today", he explained with a smile. "Besides, this morning 1 promised the children that if they kept the birds off the rice paddi while I worked,, I would tell them a story this evening." "Neka, just what kind of stories do your children like?" 1 asked, squatting down beside him while he tossed grains of corn to a pet monkey. "Well, the one they like best is about the time when all the animals and birds complained to the head of the village...." And so i came to hear the Legend of the Complaining Geko.... "One day a Geko went to the Mayor and complained: 'Oh, sir, can you help me? Will you speak to the Firefly? He keeps me awake all night .... flashing his light in my eyes." Now, the Mayor, who iked to sound important, said: "I will look into this matter. Come back one week from today for my answer. " The Mayor called the Firefly and asked, quite kindly: "Tell me, why do you have to worry people by flashing your light?" And the Firefly, who was a very humble little fellow, put out his torch, folded his wings and said: "Oh mighty sire, I am only passing on the message. I hear the Woodpecker going tong-tong-tong on the tree trunk - and 1 think it must be a kul kul warning the village to awake." Then the Mayor, anxious to get to the bottom of all this, called the Woodpecker: "What do you mean, causing all this trouble?"

former are still completely impure; the latter have been purified, but are still
considered as distinct, individual souls. The second group consists of the completely
purified ancestors who are considered as divine. Everything Bali Indonesia |
