Balinese
One
day, lying naked by the river, waiting for the sun to dry his faded
kain, he reflected wryly that, apart from this cheap length of batik,
he-had nothing in the world - except his body. Well then, that was
it- He must excel with some part of his body. But what Slowly he
arrived at his decision: "He would beat his penis non-stop
every day until it was the strongest in the world. (Secretly he
was a little unsure whether this would lead him to fame and fortune,
but his daddy had assured him "do one thing, do it well and
you will prosper," so why not give it a fling)
The
name of this boy was Toktok Telak, and as the years passed his unusual
occupation gave him exceeding strength.
The
third son, seeing Toktok's success, decided to have the most stretchy
testes in the world. Maybe you don't think that such a smart idea,
but, he argued, and rightly so, that here was not an area where
he would have over much competition. So, pursuing his aim, year
in and year out, the third son would spend every day stretching
the skin, until, at last, that part of his anatomy was as flexible
as elastic.
By
the time they had reached manhood, the three brothers were ready
for anything. One day, they were strolling around the streets during
the Festival of Galungan and there, in front of a palace, they saw
people preparing to decorate a panjar. It was the biggest panjar
in the village and belonged to the mighty King.
As
they stood looking up at it, Kecosan said to his two brothers in
a very loud voice: "Why does a very mighty King have such a
very low panjar. It is not good for a mighty King to have such a
poor decoration."
One of the workers heard this and said "You are joking. This
is the tallest panjar in Bali."
But the eldest brother just laughed and said "Oh no, I can
jump over this panjar easily."
The people there refused to believe him, until finally they began
to make bets. There was so -Much shouting and wagering that the
King came out and when he heard what was happening he also wanted
to bet against the boy.
