Read the following text to answer questions number 27 10 JU.
A long time ago, a very rich family lived in Bali. The father, Sidi Mantra, was very famous
for his supernatural power. He lived happily with his wife and their only children, Manik
Angkeran. Manik Angkeran liked gambling a lot. His parents became poor because of this. They
told Manik Angkeran to stop gambling, but he never listened. Instead, he begged for more
money to his parents. Finally, Sidi Mantra decided to go to Mount Agung where a mighty
dragon lived. It could provide jewellery to the people who say the mantra and ring the bell. Sidi
Mantra had the bell and knew the mantra. In front of the dragon, he said “My name Sidi Mantra,
I have a problem. My son likes gambling and he had made me poor.” After he said the mantra
and rang the bell, jewelleries came out from the dragon's body. He was very happy to bring the
jewelleries home.
Manik Angkeran heard that his father got some jewels from a dragon that lived in Mount
Agung. So, he stole his father's bell and went there alone. When he arrived Mount Agung,
Manik Angkeran rang the bell. The dragon knew him. It gave him some jewels suddenly he had
a bad idea. He wanted to kill the dragon and stole all its jewelleries. The dragon knew his plan
and killed Manik Angkeran.
Sidi Mantra was very sad. He asked the dragon to bring his son back to life. The dragon
agreed, with a condition: they had to live in separated places. When Manik Angkeran came
alive, Sidi Mantra drew a line between them on the ground. From the line, water flowed out.
Soon, it bacame a river. Finally, it became a strait which separated Java from Bali. Today,
poeple called it Bali Strait.
