    THE QUARREL OF THE VOLCANOES Narrated by: Venancio Prietoziga A very long time ago when there were few people yet on the face of the earth, many queer things were wont to happen. It was because the people were yet very ignorant. Mayon volcano was only then a mountain and such had no fire or smoke. She was not as beautiful as she is now nor was rich in vegetation; in fact, she got what she wanted mostly from borrowing from her neighbor as the Malinao Volcano and Isarog Mountain. The Malinao Volcano (for she was then a Volcano) being nearer to Mayon was the one mostly annoyed by the latter for her wants. In all Malinao Volcano was complacent and aided Mayon in all her needs, though at times she felt like throwing her out of her window, but as by nature she was hospitable, she tried to do her best for her. Mayon, however, took advantage of this and abused the good character of Malinao and went to the extent of even taking what she wanted. One day Mayon unexpectedly receive some visitors and as it was already dinner time, she had to prepare food for them but unfortunately there was no more fire in the oven. In haste, she went to her neighbor Malinao and asked for some fire in the oven was extinguished; however, she could very well give Mayon some for she had external fire in her crater. Malinao tried of her fastidious neighbor, refused and thus incurred the hatred of Mayon who was more irascible and impulsive. At the time, Malinao was weaving a piece of cloth and beside her lay a big bolo. Mayon insisted on asking for help. Malinao however, was tired and would not yield to her pleading even an inch. Mayon, thinking of her visitors and the advancing time, made a desperate effort to get fire without Malinaos consent but Malinao was successful in wrestling from her the fire. In desperation, Mayon grabbed the bolo and

    closing her eyes struck with ad her might at Malinao and moments later, on opening her eyes, saw to her fright that she had beheaded Malinao. Mayon hurried home with the fire and supplied her visitors needs. She did not return the fire, for Malinao was dead. To this day Mayon sends forth from her crater while the Malinao Volcano is now only a mountain without any smoke coming out of its crater. To this day too, the comical crater of Malinao can be seen after foot where it fell when Mayon cut it off.
