by Virgilio S. Almario @anakngjnchlchng

We follow the story of a tortoise and a We follow Maristella, an introverted

monkey as they discover a banana trunk
in a river. Both of the animals decide to
share the trunk. The monkey wanted a
better-looking part of the trunk for himself
but eventually realized that it was only
better for a short while. He then haggled
the tortoise whose part of the trunk
became a bountiful tree and tricked him
into giving him the fruits from the tree.
The tortoise decided to fight back by
placing thorns at the bottom of the tree
which pricked the monkey when he
climed down, threatening to throw the
tortoise in the river. Quivering in fear, the
tortoise begged to not be thrown in the
water. The monkey still proceeded to do
so, forgetting the fact that tortoises can
breathe underwater. Time and time again,
the tortoise outsmarts the monkey, even
in the end.

coffee, going to school together, and
hanging out. With all their time spent
together, Maristella begins to fall for Pat.
One day, when she is about to finally
muster up the courage to express her
feelings, Pat suddenly mentioned a guy
named Jason. Jason was Pat’s boyfriend.
Maristella unknowingly fell for a straight
girl, and has decided to keep her secret
to herself forever.
