Selection I
Grandmother was relating the story of Lake Buhi to her grandchildren. According to her, buhi
was a town at the bottom of the lake.
Once upon a time, the people of this enchanted town lived in abundance. The people became
wealthy and spent their lives painting the town red. They were like the black sheep of the family,
forgetting all about God and so God punished them. Their town sank beneath the earth overnight
and in its place there rose a beautiful lake.
When the weather was warm and clear, and the surface of the lake is as clear as a mirror, it is
said that one can look down into the bottom of the lake. The people can be seen doing their
everyday tasks. Some are cultivating their lands, others are building houses and smoke can be seen
coming from the kitchen as women cook the family meals.
It is also said that the tiniest fish in the world, found in Lake Buhi, are trimmings of abaca fiber as
the people in the lake continue to make hats out of abaca for which the town was once famous for.
