 Mang Selo and the Dream Angel
Did you know that the lansones fruit was once thought to be
poisonous? Its name, lansones, is taken from tagalong word lason, which
means poison.
Instead very delicious but every one had been told not to eat them
because they were poisonous. The town of paete in laguna, a province,
south of manila, there once grew tall trees with bunches of cream-colored
fruit. They looked very delicious but every one had been told not to eat
them because they were poisonous. One bite of the lansones fruit was
enough to kill a man. Even the big black ants that ate them died on the
spot.
One sunny September morning, an old but kind hearted man called
Mang Selo was walking through one of Paete’s thick forest. He was on his
way to a fiesta in a nearby town. He has made this trip every year,
travelling on foot, with no trouble. But now he was old and became tired
quickly. Soon he needed to stop and rest.
Next year I will bring a walking cane and soon for my journey,” Mang
Selo told himself. “I will stop here and rest, perhaps my hunger will go
away.”
 The old man tried to take a nap, but his empty stomach kept him
awake. He sat up and looked around for something to eat. There were no
wild berries or nuts to sight. He only saw the deadly lasones trees.
A beautiful angel appeared to him in his sleep. She wore a white
gown and seem to have come down from the heavenly clouds. The angel
stood next to Mang Selo and gave him a bunch of fruit. Finally, she said,
“My good Christian friend and traveler, take these so you will not be
hungry.
Mang Selo looked at the fruit the angel had in her hand. He was
surprised to see that they were lansones. “Why would this good angel give
me something poisonous?” he wondered.
“Do not worry,” said the angel. Then she took one and pinched it,
peeled it and put it in his mouth. Then she took one of the lansones. “Eat,”
she said.
At the moment Mang Selo woke up. The angel was gone! He rubbed
his eyes and wondered if the angel had been a dream. Slowly he realized
that he was no longer tired or hungry. He looked around and was
surprised to see lansones peeling on the ground. The angel in his dream
had been real, after all!
