Story of Bali, Indonesia Now Nang Peluk was in a very tight spot indeed, but he had an ace up his sleeve. Well, not exactly up his sleeve. Calmly he turned to his wife: "Oh, don't worry, my dear. Pay no attention to what those farmers tell you. They are very stupid. Tomorrow I will prove to you how diligent I have been. I will bring our harvest home and you will see for yourself" ,Before daylight the next morning - which so happened to be market day - Nang Peluk went to the town square right in front of the market place and there. choosing a busy spot where all the villagers must pass, he swiftly dug a shallow grave and buried himself - leaving only his penis showing above ground. Soon many women began to arrive with their crops, and what more natural than they should stop and gossip awhile. Suddenly one woman noticed Nang'Peluk's penis, just poking through the soil. "Oh," she cried. "What luck Look at this. Here is a very good fungus to cook with our rice." She bent down and pulled. When she couldn't loosen it, all the other women dropped their baskets and came to help. "What a wonderfully strong fungus," they said admiringly as they pulled and tugged, each one secretly hoping to have some to cook with her rice. They were just beginning to make bets on how long it would take to uproot this prize fungus - one even thought it might be a magic mushroom, another suggested getting a knife to cut it out when Nang Peluk, with a loud yell, sprang up out of the ground. Those women had hadn't fainted, ran screaming away, while Nang Peluk happily gathered up all the crops they had abandoned and, chuckling to himself, staggered home under his heavy load. "Look at this," he shouted as he entered his compound. "This is what I have planted and grown. Now you can see that it was the farmers who lied to you - not me."

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 |
