tHe pAraBle of tHe sNakE

I learned another story again this week from my Kuya Genz. I entitled it as the parable of the snake.

Now, I'm telling stories to improve my storytelling abilities. I hope you could stay for a bit long with my stories:

Once there was Juan and Pedro. Juan said, "Tingnan mo ako Pedro, kaya kong akyatin 'yang posteng 'yan." Pedro replied, "Wwweee?! Ewan sa'yo." So Juan started climbing the electrical post. Juan shouted when he was on the top, "Tingnan mo ako Pedro!" Pedro got irritated so he walked away, "Hmmp. Bahala ka na nga d'yan ang yabang-yabang mo!" Juan answered, "Yabang lang!"

While Juan is going down, He felt something soft on his feet. It was a snake! The snake quickly explained, "Huwag kang matakot, hindi kita kakagatin. Ilagay mo na lang ako sa katawan mo para pareho tayong makababa at hindi kita kakagatin." Juan answered, "Ewan nga sa'yo. Para kang biks." But in the end Juan agreed because of the snake's never-ending proposals. But like expected as well, when they reach the ground, the snake bit him. Juan exclaimed, "Bakit mo ako kinagat? Nag-pramis ka 'di ba?" The snake answered, "Ewan ko ba naman sa'yo Juan, ahas ako, puputi ang uwak kung hindi kita kakagatin."

Lesson: Why do we keep on trying or doing things that we know aren't right? "Kahit na ano pang gawin o ipangako ng iba, dapat hindi natin gawin ang mga hindi dapat." Just like pre-marital sex, drugs, alcohol, etc.
