Once upon a time, Aling Rosa and her daughter Pina lived in a small hut village. They were very poor that is why Aling Rosa work hard day and night.
Pina is a lazy girl. She just wanted to play all the time. She does not like helping her mother at home.
Inay, I am still playing.
Pina! Help me with the chores!
One day, Aling Rosa got sick. She called out Pina to cook some poridge for her. However Pina cannot find the things she needs.
Inay, you expect me to cook? I don't even know where the rice is.
Pina. Can you cook poridge for me? I am sick.
Pina's mom felt sad and asked Pina for a glass of water instead.
Nay, I cannot find where the glasses are.
I wish you would grow a thousand eyes! Then you can find what you're loking for. And maybe then you won't have many excuses!
Just hand me a glass of water please.
The next day, Aling Rosa could not find Pina. She feared that her daughter might never come back. Then, she noticed a strange plant growing in the garden. She realized that her anger cursed her daughter. Pina had turned into a plant with many eyes. Aling Rosa took care of the plant, and named it "Pinya" in honor of the memory of her daughtermoral lesson:dont be lazy be respectful to your parents use the gifts by god properly.
