FLORA’S GODMOTHER
One Sunday Flora went to her godmother’s house. She did not see
her Ninang Marta but someone was there who looked like her. When she
was about to leave, the woman laughed.
“Why, Flora,” she asked, “don’t you remember your own
godmother?”
Flora was surprised. The woman was her godmother but she looked
different. She wore a black wig that made her look younger and prettier.
“I did not recognize you at once, Ninang,” Flora said. “You look
different with a wig.”
“Is that so?”, aling Marta asked. “A friend sold me her long hair and
I had it made into a wig. A hairdresser made it for me.”
