 Why the Sky is High
In the early days, when the sky was still low, two
brothers named Ingat and Daskol lived with their parents
on Earth.
As their names indicate, Ingat was careful in everything
he did and was therefore his father’s right hand man. He
was always helping with the work in the field and his
parent’s were very pleased with him.
 On the other hand, Daskol did his work sloopily. In the
absence of the daughter in the family, the house work
came, to be Daskol’s responsibility. He fetched water,
cleaned the house, and did cooking. He also did the
pounding of the palay that his father and Ingat harvested.
Even in pounding, Daskol lived up to his name. Half of the
grain he pounded scattered and fell to the ground. Being
naturally lazy and impatient, he did not like the work of
pounding.
 One day, Daskol had to pound a greater quantity of
palay than usual. He was irritated because every time he
raised the pestle, it would hit the sky. His anger added to
his strength and desire to finish the work quickly. So, he
raised the pestle higher and every time it hit the sky, the
sky will be raised. In his hurry Daskol did not notice that
the sky was rising. When he finished pounding rice he
looked up and discovered that the sky had risen and it is
where it is today.

volcano Paricutin. In February 1943‚ there was much
underground activity near the village of Paricutin‚ Mexico. It
caused many small Earth tremors that worried the villagers. On
the February 20‚ Dionisio and Paulo Pulido noticed smoke rising
from a small hole in their cornfield near the village.
 The hole had been there as long as the farmer and his wife could
remember . That night hot rock fragments spewing from the hole
looked like fireworks. By morning‚ the fragments had piled up into a
cone about 40 meters high. Within two years it was more than 400
meters high. Ash from the volcano burned and covered the village of
Paricutin. Lavas flows buried another nearby village. After nine years‚
the volcanic activity stopped.
