The Legend of the First Monkey (Tagalog Version)
Storyboard Text
- There was a boy named Juan who was very lazy. One day, Juan was playing outside the house, and his mother called him in for a very simple task.
- Juan! Come in here and find the ladle for me!
- But Juan did not bestir himself to even walk two paces toward the house and he continued playing.
- I’m coming, Mother!
- After a while Juan’s mother grew suspicious, and when she saw that the boy was not obeying her, she dragged him into the house.
- You find that ladle! I want you to hand it over to me by the time I get back from the marketplace!
- Juan did not try to find the ladle. He found instead a large wooden spoon that was too shallow for anyone to use as a good ladle. He said to himself, "This will have to do." He played again until his mother came home, and then he gave her the spoon, saying "I can’t find the ladle, Mother. I’m too lazy. This spoon will have to do!" "Oh, you tardy brat!" his mother cried, and she proceeded to beat Juan with his "makeshift ladle".
- Juan became so frightened that he ran out of the house, but Juan’s mother would not let him go. She threw the spoon at him, and it stuck to the base of his spine like a tail, to his mother’s surprise. Then, instead of running any further, Juan swiftly climbed a tree to escape his mother’s fury.
- Come down from there! I still have to punish you!
- Juan did not make any more complaints, or excuses. Only harsh chirping sounds came from his throat. Hair had grown all over his little body and he could no longer speak a word. Juan had become the very first monkey! Apparently, Juan’s mother did not have to punish him. He had already brought the greatest punishment upon himself.
