Drama? Or..

Naisip ko minsan, pinagsisiksikan ko na ba sarili ko sa kanila?

Nagpasa ako kanina ng final exam ko sa literature. Short story. Kailangan lang e, magpasa ka ng isang short story, share it the class, explain and poof! May final exam ka na kaagad. Kumuha ako ng short story ko last night after what happen to me. So wala ako sa mood magbasa. Maski blogs di ako nagbasa. So I just copy+pasted the story and I print it without reading it. I told myself: "Bahala na."

So nung ako na yung nagstory telling, I was like. Bakit ganito yung story? It was a fable about a hawk who wanted to marry the she-hawk but the she-hawk refused because the hawk doesn't have any friends. So the hawk tried to find at least three friends. To make the story shorter, the hawk found the osprey, the tortoise and the tiger. So when the hawk returned to the she-hawked they eventually got married. (Yay.) And after a few months they had two cute little hawk babies. And they really love having them.

But one day two hunters came to the forest. They tried to hunt some animals but they failed. So, they rest under the hawk's tree and they built fire. The heat and smoke reached the baby hawks and they started to cry. The hunters heard the little hawks and they planned to catch them for food.The hawks heard them and were really worried about the safety of their babies. The she-hawk suggested that they seek help from their friends. The hawk went the Osprey and told her his problem. The Osprey said, “Go home and protect your babies. In the meantime, I shall tackle with the hunters”. The osprey divided into the river and then flew over the fire. The water from her wet feathers fell on the fire. She repeatedly dived into the river and flew over the fire. The water from her feathers put off the fire.
The hunters decided to light the fire again before getting the hawk babies. They started collecting the leaves and the twigs. However, as soon as they lit the fire again, the osprey put it off by diving into the river and letting the water from her feathers fall into the fire.
In the meantime, the hawk went to get help from the tortoise. When the tortoise heard about the hawk’s problem, he said to him, “Do not worry dear friend, I will be there in no time and tackle the hunters in my own way. In the meantime, go and protect your family”.
The hawk flew to the tree and the tortoise reached the tree. He went quite close to where the hunters were sitting and trying to light the fire again. The hunters saw the tortoise and one of them said, “Look there is a huge tortoise. Let’s forget about the hawks and catch this tortoise”.
The other hunter agreed and said, “Let’s tear our shirts and make a rope. We shall tie its one end to the tortoise and other to our waists. Then we will pull the tortoise with all our strength”. The other hunter liked the idea. Soon, they make a rope out of their shirts. They tied one end of the rope to the tortoise’s legs. Then, trying the other end to their waist, they could not pull the tortoise. The tortoise’s strength was much greater than the two hunters were together. It was tortoise who pulled the two men into the water.
Once, inside the water, it was very easy for the tortoise to drag them. Thus, the two hunters fell into the river. With great efforts, they cut the rope that was tied to their waist and swam back to the bank. They were now feeling very cold. They had lost their shirts. They thought of making a fire again.
Seeing those collecting leaves and twigs, the hawk was worried again. Now he flew to the forest and called his third friend, the tiger. He found the tiger at the edge of the forest. When the tiger heard the hawk’s problem, he immediately walked towards the riverbank.
The hunter had now lighted the fire and one of them was preparing to climb the tree to get the hawk babies. Just then, the tiger reached the tree. Seeing the tiger, the hunters ran from there and never came back again.
The hawk thanked all his three friends for their kind and timely help. He also realized that it is very important to have at least a few friends. The female-hawk had been very wise in advising the hawk to make friends before marrying him. (Just copy+paste the last part.)
Sabi ko sa isip ko. Meron ba kong atleast 3 friends na tutulong kung sakali? Yung di ka iiwan ano mang oras mo sila kailanganin? Kung kagaya nga sa 49 days na Korean series na iiyak sila para sa'yo. Iiyak ng totoo. Ewan ko ba. 



*Tama na 'to! Pakadrama lang.
