In the beginning, the sky was very low; it was possible to touch it with a long bamboo pole. Because of this proximity, everything on earth was burnt by the intense heat of the sun.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| The rivers and the seas were boiling tremendously. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Right!, and then suddenly from nowhere, a huge man appeared on earth. This enormous being was called Maykapal. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
Some of the ancient Tagalogs, said that Maykapal was the Lord of the universe who came down to earth to correct some mistakes in his work.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| However, unable to get rest from the intense heat, Maykapal got mad one day. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Yes! because of that with his hands, he raised the sky to is present height. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
In spite of this changes the heat of the sun was still unbearable. twice as much as we have now.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| ohh...that's so sad.. but we need to accept the reality. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| but then, maykapal did not contented with his work. | |
