For many years people believed that the cleverest animals after man were the
chimpanzees. Now however, there is a proof that dolphins may be even cleverer than
these big apes.
Although a dolphin lives in the sea it is not a fish. It is a mammal. It is in many
ways, therefore, like a human being.
Dolphins have simple language. They are able to talk to one another. It may be
possible for man to learn how to talk to dolphins. But this will not be easy because
dolphins can not hear the kind of sound man can make. If man wants to talk to dolphins
therefore, he will have to make a third language which both he and the dolphins can
understand.
Dolphins are also friendly toward man. They often follow ships. There are many
stories about dolphins guiding ships through difficult and dangerous water.

a. Dolphins

satisfied with the meal, but this meant for the Balinese people enough food for a thousand men.
Difficulties arose when for the first time the barns were almost empty and the new harvest
was still a long way off.This made Kbo Iwo wild with great anger. In his hunger, he destroyed all
the houses and even all the temples. It made the Balinese turn to rage. So, they came together to
plan steps to oppose this powerful giant by using his stupidity.
They asked Kbo Iwo to build them a very deep well, and rebuild all the houses and temples
he had destroyed. After they fed Kbo Iwo, he began to dig a deep hole. One day he had eaten too
much, he fell asleep in the hole. The oldest man in the village gave a sign, and the villagers began
to throw the limestone they had collected before into the hole. The limestone made the water
inside the hole boiling. Kbo Iwo was buried alive. Then the water in the well rose higher and higher
until at last it overflowed and formed Lake Batur. The mound of earth dug from the well by Kbo
Iwo is known as Mount Batur.
