In the days of yore, there was a boy named Manik Angkeran. His father was a noble Begawan a virtuous character, named "Begawan Sidi Mantra". Although his father was a well-respected by the community and have extensive knowledge of religion, but Manik Angkeran is a spoiled child, who work only gamble and pitted chicken like brat-brat in this desanya.Mungkin because he had been abandoned by his mother who died during childbirth. Because of that habit, her father's wealth grew out and finally they fall into poverty.
Although their situation was poor, Manik habit Angkeran not reduced, even as he is always losing in gambling, more and more debt and he was in the chase, chased by people who dihutanginya. Finally came the Manik place of his father, and with a sad tone she asked her father to pay his debts. Because Manik Angkeran is her only son, Sidi Mantra Begawan felt sorry and promised to pay his debts.
So with her inner strength, Begawan Sidi Mantra get hints that there is a mountain called Mount Agung is situated on the east. In Gunung Agung is said to have abundant wealth. Armed with these instructions, go Begawan Sidi Mantra to Mount Agung with a clapper his cult.
After a long journey, and came to Mount Agung. Immediately she said, sounding gentanya mantra. And out of a dragon named Dragon Besukih.
"Hi Begawan Sidi Mantra, what are you calling me?" Said the Dragon Besukih.
"The Besukih, fortune has been spent on my son to gamble. Now that the debt piled up, he was being chased by people. Please, help me so I can pay my debt! "
"All right, I'll fulfill your request Begawan Sidi Mantra, but you must advise your son not to gamble anymore, because you know that gambling is forbidden religion!"
"I promise I will advise my son" said Sidi Mantra Begawan.
Then the Dragon Besukih vibrating body and scales that fell soon turned gold and diamonds.
"Take Begawan Sidi Mantra. Pay your debts. And do not forget to advise him not to gamble again. "
Picking up gold and diamonds and do not forget to say thanks, then Begawan Sidi Mantra to get out of Mount Agung. Then he returned to his home in East Java. Arriving home, pay all debts in their children and do not forget he advised his son not to gamble anymore.
But apparently his father's advice was ignored by Manik Angkeran. She fixed gambling and pitted chicken every day. Over time, debt Angkeran Manik any more and he was in the chase-chase again by people who dihutanginya. And as before, go Manik Angkeran facing his father and begged for her debts paid off again.
Although with a slightly annoyed, as a father, Sidi Mantra Begawan also promised to pay off these debts. And immediately he went to Mount Agung to appeal to the Dragon Besukih for granted relief again.
When he arrived he was on Mount Agung, dibunyikannya bells and the reading of spells for the Dragon Besukih out of the palace.
Not for some time, finally the Dragon Besukih out of his palace.
"What else Begawan Sidi Mantra? Why did you call me again? "Asked the Dragon Besukih.
"The Besukih Sorry, again I ask your help so I can pay my debts. I've not got anything else and I've advised him not to gamble, but he did not menghiraukanku. "Beg Begawan Sidi Mantra.
"Your son seems to have no respect for their parents again. But I'll help you for the last time. Remember, the last time. "
Then the Dragon to move his body and Sidi Mantra Begawan collect gold and gems that come from the scales falling body. Then Begawan Sidi Mantra even say goodbye. And arrival at home, Sidi Mantra Begawan immediately pay off his debts.
Due to the ease Begawan Sidi Mantra mendaptkan treasure, Manik Angkeran felt surprised to see it. Then said Manik Angkeran to his father, "Daddy, where did the father get all that wealth?"
"Come on Angkeran Manik, do not you ask where the father gets the treasure. Stop gambling and risking the chicken, because it is prohibited by all religions. And this for the last time father to help you. Next time when you owe more, fathers will not help you anymore. "
But it turns out Manik Angkeran unable to leave his bad habits, he still continues to gamble and gambling. So in a short time had accumulated many debts. And although he had requested the help of his father, his father still would not help him anymore. So he was determined to find out the source of his wealth.
Ask it to and fro, and some of his friends told him that his father got a wealth of Mount Agung. Because of greed, Manik Angkeran also stole his father's bell and went to Mount Agung.
Arriving at the Mount Agung, immediately he rang the bell. Hearing the sound of the bell, the Dragon Besukih felt compelled by it, but the Dragon surprised, because they do not hear the usual mantras are pronounced by Sidi Mantra Begawan when the bell rang.
Then the San Naga to see who comes memangilnya.
Once out, met the Dragon by Manik Angkeran. Seeing Manik Angkeran, the Dragon Besukih also could not resist his anger.
"Hi Manik Angkeran! There is what you call me with clapper that you stole from your father? "
With the attitude of pleading, Manik also said "the Dragon help me. Give me the treasure in abundance so I can pay the debt-hutangku. If this time I can not pay it, people will kill me. Have mercy on me. "
Seeing the sadness Manik Angkeran, the Dragon also felt sorry.
"All right, I'll help." Replied the Dragon Besukih.
After giving advice to the Manik Angkeran, the Dragon immediately turned around to retrieve treasure that will be given to the Manik Angkeran. At the Dragon's head and his body sank into the earth to retrieve the treasure, Manik Angkeran saw the Dragon tail dipemukaan earth is filled with diamonds and jewels, there arose his evil intentions. Manik Angkeran immediately drew his dagger and cut the tail of the Dragon Besukih. The Dragon Besukih wriggle and immediately turn around. However, Manik Angkeran gone. The Dragons were soon chasing Beads in all directions, but he could not find Angkeran Manik, who met only the former Angkeran Manik footprints.
So with spiritual power, the Dragon Besukih burn marks Angkeran Manik footprints. Although Manik Angkeran was far from the Dragon, but with the Dragon Besukih magic, he still felt the burning of the soles of the feet so the body Manik Angkeran was hot so he collapsed and over time become ashes.
In East Java, Begawan Sidi Mantra Beads are anxious because their children have been lost and the bell Angkeran his cult was also missing. But Begawan Sidi Mantra know if gentanya taken by his son Manik Angkeran and felt that her son went to the Mount Agung meet the Dragon Besukih. Therefore she went to Mount Agung.
Arriving at Mount Agung, he saw the Dragon Besukih were outside his palace. With haste Begawan Sidi Mantra asked the Dragon Besukih "O Sang Besukih, is there anything my son Manik Angkeran come here?"
"Yes, he has come here to ask for the treasure that will be wearing to pay off its debts. But when I turned about to take the treasure for him, my tail dipotonglah by it. And I have been burned to disappear, because your attitude does not know that reciprocation. Now what is the purpose of coming here, Begawan Sidi Mantra? "
"I'm sorry, the Besukih! My son's just one, so I ask that my son brought back to life. "Beg the Begawan.
"For the sake of our friendship, I will fulfill your request. But on one condition, please return my tail as before. "Said the Dragon Besukih.
"All right, I'll meet syaratmu!" Said Sidi Mantra Begawan.
And by deploying their own forces, Manik Angkeran was alive again. Similarly, the tail of the Dragon Besukih be returned intact as before.
Manik Dinasehatinya Angkeran by the Dragon Besukih and Sidi Mantra Begawan at length and then returned Begawan Sidi Mantra to East Java. But Manik Angkeran should not come back, he should stay in the vicinity of Mount Agung. Because Manik Angkeran already aware of and change, he did not disobey his father's commands and obey them.
And on his return, when Begawan Sidi Mantra reached the Land of the Citadel, in torehkannya wand to the ground to create a boundary with her son. Immediately incision was also used to grow wider and the sea water rose menggenanginya. And over time into a strait. Strait that is now given the name "Bali Strait".
