Agung Mountain.After he arrived,he rang the bell and yelled Naga Besukih.
Manik Angkeran
:”Hey,the dragon where are you?Give me gold and jewelries,please,I
realy need that gold and jewelries.”

gambling again.”
Narator :Naga Besukih than give him
gold and jewelries.But suddenly Manik Angkeran have bad idea,he want to kill the
dragon and take all the jewelries.He manage to cut’s the dragon tail.So he
drew his keris and attacked Naga Besukih,but he was not match for Naga Besukih.With
his great power Naga Besukih burned Manik Angkeran and killed him instantly.In
his home Begawan Sidi Mantra couldn’tfind his sacred bell.He knew that his son
had stole it,so he went to Agung Mountain.He was so sad when he found out what
happened in the mountain.
Begawan Sidi Mantra :”I’m sorry Naga Besukih.He was my only son.I realy love him.So please
bring him back to live.”
Narrator :Naga Besukih agreed with one
condition,Manik Angkeran had to stay at Agung Mountain.Naga Besukih said some
prayer and after few moments,Manik Angkeran live again.Begawan Sidi Mantra than
used stick to make big line betwen on the ground.From the line water
flowed.Soon it became a river.Finally it became strait,its separated Java and
Bali.People then named the strait as Bali strait.
