Why Dogs Wag their Tails

Filipino folktale
A rich man in a certain town once owned a dog and a cat, both of which were very useful to him.
The dog had served his master for many years and had become so old that he had lost his teeth and
was unable to fight any more, but he was a good guide and companion to the cat who was strong and
cunning.
The master had a daughter who was attending school at a convent some distance from home, and
very often he sent the dog and the cat with presents to the girl.
One day he called the faithful animals and bade them carry a magic ring to his daughter.
“You are strong and brave,” he said to the cat “You may carry the ring, but you must be careful not to
drop it”. And to the dog he said: “You must accompany the cat to guide her and keep her from
harm.”
They promised to do their best, and started out. All went well until they came to a river. As there
was neither bridge nor boat, there was no way to cross but to swim.
“Let me take the magic ring,” said the dog as they were about to plunge into the water. “Oh, no,”
replied the cat, “the master gave it to me to carry.”
 “But you cannot swim well,” argued the dog. “I am strong and can take good care of it.”
But the cat refused to give up the ring until finally the dog threatened to kill her, and then she
reluctantly gave it to him.
The river was wide and the water so swift that they grew very tired, and just before they
reached the opposite bank the dog dropped the ring. They searched carefully, but could not find it
anywhere, and after a while they turned back to tell their master of the sad loss. Just before reaching
the house, however, the dog was so overcome with fear that he turned and ran away and never was
seen again.
The cat went on alone, and when the master saw her coming he called out to know why
she had returned so soon and what had become of her companion. The poor cat was frightened, but
as well as she could she explained how the ring had been lost and how the dog had run away.
On hearing her story the master was very angry, and commanded that all his people
should search for the dog, and that it should be punished by having its tail cut off.
He also ordered that all the dogs in the world should join in the search, and ever since
when one dog meets another he says: “Are you the old dog that lost the magic ring? If so, your tail
must be cut off.” Then immediately each shows his teeth and wags his tail to prove that he is not the
guilty one.
Since then, cats have been afraid of water and will not swim across a river if they can
avoid it.

The First Monkey
Filipino folktale

Many years ago at the foot of a forest-covered hill was a small town, and just above
the town on the hillside was a little house in which lived an old woman and her grandson.
The old woman, who was very industrious, earned their living by removing the seeds
from cotton, and she always had near at hand a basket in which were cotton and a long stick
that she used for a spindle. The boy was lazy and would not do anything to help his
grandmother, but every day went down to the town and gambled.
One day, when he had been losing money, the boy went home and was cross
because his supper was not ready.
“I am hurrying to get the seeds out of this cotton,” said the grandmother, “and as soon
as I sell it, I will buy us some food.”

Write the sentences on the petals of the flowers below.

At this the boy fell into a rage, and he picked up some coconut shells and threw
them at his grandmother. Then she became angry and began to whip him with her spindle,
when suddenly he was changed into an ugly animal, and the cotton became hair which
covered his body, while the stick itself became his tail.
As soon as the boy found that he had become an ugly creature he ran down into
the town and began whipping his companions, the gamblers, with his tail, and immediately
they were turned into animals like himself.
Then the people would no longer have them in the town but drove them out.
They went to the forest where they lived in the trees, and ever since they have been known
as monkeys.
