SA PULA, SA PUTI (Summary)

One morning Kulas greeted his wife a pleasant morning but Celing
answered dryly. She was jealous and envious about Kulas’s fighting
cocks for they were the first thought of Kulas every morning.

Kulas explained that he only cared for the cocks for their own good.
Celing didn’t believe anymore on Kulas reasons for he was always
defeated by his opponent.

Kulas always believed on his dream and thought that those dreams had
signs that he would win the fight. Celing narrated all the dreams that
Kulas told her but he didn’t win. She was already sick with Kulas’
reasons. He asked if he could give her money to spend for the cockfight.
Kulas heard the shout of people from the cockfight and he was really
eager to get the money. Celing had nothing to do but give him money
and Kulas went the out the house hurriedly.

Teban commanded Celing to bet on Kulas’s opponent. This is her way

to get the money of Kulas spent in the sabong for Kulas was always a
loser. Celing was right; Kulas went home defeated by his opponent. He
promised never to bet again.

Castor taught Kulas some techniques how to win a fight in a way of

cheating when Celing was out in the market. He will bet on his
opponent’s cock! Kulas went to the fight and bet but this time he staked
at his opponent’s cock. Kulas was disappointed after the fight because
his cock won. He went home and his wife asked him the money for his
cock won he said he lost the fight for he bet on the opponent’s side.
Celing was astonished and confessed her secret that every time Kulas go
to fight she bet on his opponent. They have a good dinner at that time for
the cocks left were made adobo.
