Mem Peluk, unaware
of these pastoral pranks, was now very happy, the fighting cock, too,
enjoyed the peace and, of course, Nang Peluk had never had it so good. Nang Peluk, seeing his solution for family peace about to blow up in his face, thought quickly. , "Yes, my dear," he replied. "Better you should go. For, is it not written that the wife shall harvest what the husband sows?" At this Mem Peluk hastily hung her head and blushed, for it was common knowledge at the daily bathing-place that, whereas Nang Peluk had a "banana" of exceedingly noble proportions, so' far Mem Peluk had failed to present him with any offspring. "Tomorrow," continued Nang Peluk, pretending not to notice his wife's confusion, " you must go to my field, which is in front of the rice paddy temple, and from there you will collect our crops. Next morning, Nang Peluk again sat contentedly in his compound nursing his fighting cock - confiding to it that he had gained one more day's respite from the workforce - while Mem Peluk hurried to the field in front of the temple and commenced collecting the beans and peanuts growing there, until a farmer arrived and asked sternly: "Why are you picking my crops. My husband said
that this was his farm, replied Mem Peluk. She was so angry when she returned home that the fighting cock took one look at her, put his head under his wing and Pretended to sleep. Of course, Nang Peluk couldn't do that. He had to listen to her: Why did you lie to me she screamed, throwing her empty basket on the ground- You are a very lazy man. You have shamed me in front of all the farmers. They tell me you have no crops in the rice paddies.

we must point out a very important distinction which the Balinese make between
two clearly separate groups of ancestors. The first of these groups consists
of the dead who are riot yet completely purified. This group is in turn subdivided
in pirata, those riot yet cremated, and pitara, those already cremated. The
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 |
