Kung Bakit may Tagsibol at Taglagas

Si Proserpina ay isang dalagang magandang-maganda. Katulong
siya ng kanyang inang si Demiter sa pangangalaga sa mga
halaman sa lupa. Kung minsan ang mag-ina ay namimitas ng
mga bulaklak na basa pa ng hamog kung bukang-liwayway.
Kung minsan naman ay nakikipagsayaw si Proserpina sa
kanyang mga kapwa dalaga sa gitna ng parang. Masaya ang
buhay ng mag-ina.

Nang mga panahong yaon ay malungkot si Pluto. Nag-iisa siya

sa kanyang kaharian sa ilalim ng lupa. Ibig niyang magkaroon ng
reyna. Marami nang dalaga ang kanyang pinaghandugan ng
mga mahal at magagandang hiyas, ngunit isa man ay walang
mahikayat na tumira sa kanyang kaharian.

Isang araw ay nagtungo si Pluto sa ibabaw ng lupa. Nakalulan

siya sa kanyang gintong karosa na hinihila ng mga kabayong
walang kamatayan. Mabilis ang takbo ng mga kabayo.
Nagkataong nasa parang noon sina Proserpina at ang kanyang
mga kaibigan. Nakita siya ni Pluto.

Why there is Spring and Fall

Proserpina was a very beautiful maiden. He is his mother

Demiter's helper in taking care of the plants in the land.
Sometimes the mother and daughter pick flowers that are still
wet with dew at dawn. Sometimes Proserpina dances with her
fellow maidens in the middle of the field. Mother and daughter
have a happy life.

At that time Pluto was sad. He was alone in his underground

kingdom. He wanted to have a queen. He has presented many
young women with expensive and beautiful jewels, but none of
them have been persuaded to live in his kingdom.

One day Pluto went over the earth. He was in his golden chariot
pulled by immortal horses. The horses run fast. Proserpina and
her friends happened to be in the field. Pluto saw him.
Pambansang Pintor
Anak,” malumanay at wari’y bantulot na wika ng ina kay
Fernando. “Kailangang makapagpatuloy ka ng pag-aaral. Ang
iyong Tiyo lamang ang makatutulong sa atin para makapag-aral
ka. Papayag ka ba na tumira sa Tiyo Fabian mo?”

“Opo, Nanay,” walang atubiling tugon ni Fernando. “Kayo po

ang masusunod; kaya lang magkakalayo po tayo.”

“Hindi bale, Anak, madadalaw naman kita paminsan-minsan,”

wika ng ina na pilit pinasasaya ang mukha.

NATIONAL PAINTER

Son," the mother spoke to Fernando gently and as if she were a

coward. “You have to be able to continue studying. Only your
Uncle can help us so that you can study. Will you agree to live
with your Uncle Fabian?"

"Yes, Mom," Fernando responded without hesitation. "You are

the ones who will follow; that's why we'll stay away from each
other."
"It doesn't matter, Son, I can visit you from time to time," said
the mother trying to make her face happy.
