She was in elementary school at the time and said, "When the Japanese soldiers came, we run away and hide . It was a period of great uncertainty and as a little girl, I remember being very afraid. "She related a very sad story, where one of the most beautiful girls in her village was taken. It was d about 17 years. She eventually return to Petemon, when the Japanese left, but the experience left her broken and saddened. Sibuh Grandma said she was actually a sex object and this type of abuse n was not uncommon. The others sitting around, nodded that "It was not a good time in Bali. It was like a period of darkness that fell on Bali."
The grandmother working in the village is tending to a cow, and she has two pigs. She walks two kilometers every day to a field with grandfather to cut grass for the cow. Other duties include feeding and caring for the two pigs before it, which at the time weigh about 80 kg each. She buys on the market, like a piglet, and the student, fatten them for sale, and if it sells around Galungan, or a time to temple ceremony, they will look for a good price.
The investment in a piglet is Rp.500,000 and it takes about six months supply, then a nice big pig infected about a million Rp.2 price. Grandma Sibuh sends his little son on the market in Gianyar to buy piglets every six months.
The pig food source from a special tree called keledi . The leaves are tasty and pigs love this food. When he is not available, kangkung is a good substitute, which costs approximately Rp.10,000 per day.
Life in the sleepy little village of Petemon continues with functions of the temple, cooking over an open fire and tending to animals. A simple way of life, and by the look on the face of grandmother Sibuh, very happy and fulfilled one.
