Unknown Story
Storyboard Text
- Uhm, your opinion is actually wrong.
- There's this question in the test earlier about describing The Great Flood .
- I can't recall any Great flood stories from the Philippine Literature so I just answered the biblical story of Noah's Ark because for me all of the Great Flood stories are all based to it.
- By the way, my name is Mellien Balberan I am learning Philippine Literature just like you.
- What you've said earlier is wrong, there is a Great Flood story from our literature. It was written by Felipe Landa Jocano and it is quite unique from the biblical story of Noah's Ark.
- Unique? I'm pretty sure it's about retribution to the people and the story will end with procreating both animal and human population.
- Well some of what you said are right but this Great Flood story is about Lord of the sea taking revenge to a single person only, they didn't build an ark nor did they save some animals.
- Here let me tell you a summary about the story. The story starts when Aponi-tolau, god-hero of the Tingians abducted Humitau, one of the sea maiden of Tau-mari-u. Tau-mari-u was mad so he planned to punish all land dwellers by flood. Lang-an of Kadalayapan, mistress of the wind, rain, and the mother of Aponi-tolau, knew the plan so he warned his son to go to the highest peak of the Cordillera Mountains for safety.
- Flood came but it stops when Humitau imploded Tau-mari-u to save her. Then when the water subsided, Aponi-tolau and his wife went down and from them came the people of the world.
- I didn't know that such story exist in our Literature.
- I should've studied, I failed the test miserably.
- Well yeah you should've studied about it. Anyway it's time for me to leave, I have to deal with my next class and do some activities.
- Good bye.
- Good bye Mellien, thank you for correcting me.
