    Summary:

     

    Kenogolagey and his wife Kenogen, ate only camote and cassava. One day, an old man visits them and tells them of a better food, the rice and corn that can only be gotten from castle of a fierce giant in the middle of the sea. Kenogolagey sends his two friends, the cat and his dog, to get the food. As the giant sleeps, the cat takes rice grains into his mouth and the dog a pair of corn ears. Swimming back to the shore, the dog drops his corn ears into the bottom of the sea, and the cat, unable to help him because it had rice grains in its mouth, delivers the grains in the shore and swims back to get the corn ears at the bottom of the sea.

  • Turtle And The Monkeys

    Summary:

     

    The turtle meets up the cock who is proud that he no longer has to hunt because he has found a pile of grains somewhere. The turtle gets envious as he tells the cock that he has red eyes, a sickness which could lead to death. The cock fetch a sap and puts on his eyes. The sap hardens at the cock, in panic runs and falls, and ends up with his head in the hole on the ground. Meanwhile, the turtle playfully swings at the tip of the rattan leaf. He persuades the monkey to do the same, but the latter, which is heavier, falls over the cliff and dies. The turtle promptly collects the brain, ears, and heart of the monkey. Dakel-Ubal recognizes the monkey’s remains, calls on all the monkeys, and sentences the turtle to drowning. In water, the turtle laughs at the monkey’s ignorance. Angry, the monkeys ask the creature Ino-Trigo to sip all the water of the river into his belly. Seeing his enemy, the cock swoops down on the turtle to peck out his eyes. The cock misses and slashes instead the stomach of Ino-Trigo. The stomach bursts, and all the water run back into the river, drowning the cock and all the monkeys.View Interpretation. . .

  • The Creation Myth

    Summary:

     

    Miraden, a female deity shaped the world and the first creatures lived on it. She fashioned human beings from mud. Having done this, she placed the sun between the earth and the sky and brought forth daylight. Miraden’s brother, Tulus, also known as Meketefu and Sualia lived in the topmost layer of the skyworld. The first 2 human beings created by Miraden had not yet begotten any offspring. Meketefu saw that the male reproductive organ was as small as a tiny red pepper, and that of the female was as big as a snail shall. Their noses were upside down, and whenever it rained, they caught water, making them sick. Meketefu turned their noses side up so they would not take the rain water. They were able to bring forth a child but there was no food that’s why the child died. There was no soil and the child could not be buried. Meketefu gave them soil. Later, various types of vegetation sprouted where the child was buried. The child’s umbilical cord came out as a rice stalk. The intestines tranformed into sweet potatoes. The head became taro tubes, the hands turned into bananas, the nails into areca nuts, the teeth into corn, the brains into lime, the bones into cassava, and the ears into betel leaf.View Interpretation. . .
