 The Carabao Who Refused to Kneel
by Lina Diaz de Rivera

On the feast of San Isidro Labrador, the patron saint of

farmers, the people also honor the carabao, the farmer’s helper.
Itoy had a pet carabao, Cara. He had taken care of Cara since he
was old enough to lead her to pasture when Tatay asked for his
help.
Tomorrow, Cara will make her debut at the Carabao Festival.
Decked with lovely ribbons and garlands, the carabaos are first
paraded through the town and taken to the church patio. There,
the carabaos are blessed by the priest and then brought to the
town plaza where awards are given to the strongest and the
best-looking carabaos.

What do you think is the most thrilling

contest in the Carabao Festival?
 But the most thrilling contest is the carabao race. The finish
line is in front of the church where the statue of San Isidro
Labrador stands. As the carabaos reach at the center, the church
bells ring and as if on signal, the carabaos kneel as a sign or
respect to their patron saint.

What do you think Itoy did to

prepare Cara for the contest?
Itoy spent many hours teaching Cara how to kneel. He was sure
that even if Cara failed to win any award, she would make the
best kneeling ever seen.

How do you think Cara looked

during the beauty contest?
 At dawn on the day of the festival. Itoy’s mother and sister
prepared Cara for the “beauty contest.” Cara wore a coronet of
pink paper flowers with blue centers. Cara’s tail was plaited and
threaded with ribbons of different colors. Her hooves had red
polish on them. She looked so serious that Itoy laughed and
laughed.
At the parade, Cara looked stunning! She actually won the
Best- looking Carabao Award! Itoy was very proud of her.
Then it was time for the race. Cara and Itoy, the youngest
“jockey” that year, did not make it to another award but they
were not the last either.
When the race was over, the carabaos gathered at the patio
for the famous kneeling show.

What did Cara do when they gathered

at the patio after the race?
 When the bells rang, all the carabaos slowly made their
salute. All except Cara. Itoy was dismayed. He tried giving Cara
their secret cue: a slight flick in the left ear. Nothing.

What do you think Itoy felt when Cara

did not kneel? What did Itoy do?
 Although most of the people did not notice Cara’s not
having knelt, Itoy was very embarrassed. He wondered if Tatay,
Nanay, and the rest would blame him. He jumped from the
carabao’s back and flicking her left ear. Itoy whispered in Cara’s
ear, “Cara, now!” But Cara did not listen.

Why do you think Cara not

kneel in the patio?
 She was looking at a flower that dangled over her nose.
During the race, her coronet loosened and the flower dropped
exactly in front of her eyes. No whisper, nor ringing bells, no
flick meant anything to her. All that mattered was the pink
flower tickling her nose.

What did Itoy and his family do

to Cara when she did not kneel?
 Disappointed, Itoy led her out of the patio to join the rest at
the fiesta table where finger food was being served. Itoy’s
family was very nice about Cara’s disapppointing performance.
They fixed the offending coronet and even fed Cara as lovingly
as before.
“Itoy”, said his father. “Take Cara home now. She needs rest.
Besides, there will be guests in time for lunch. I’ll be joining you
shortly.”
Itoy climbed on Cara’s back, took Cara’s reins and headed
home. They had to pass the church again and as they crossed
the patio, the bells started to ring to signal the start of the
mass.

What do you think Cara do

when they passed the church?
 To Itoy’s surprise, Cara stopped, faced the church and Itoy
felt the animal slowly bending her knees. She was making her
graceful salute!
Some children playing in the patio saw her and clapped
their hands. Cara flicked her tail. Itoy jumped from his perch
and hugged his carabao around the neck.
“You did it, Cara! That was perfect!” Itoy said happily. Cara
replied with a low grunt.

Mangunguna Festival
by Ma. Rita Teresa V. Riñoza

It was summer vacation when Luke and Mandy went to their

grandparents’ place to attend the Mangunguna Festival in Bolinao,
Pangasinan.

Luke: Lolo, why is your festival called Mangunguna Festival?

Lolo Mar: Luke, Mangunguna Festival is a celebration of
aquaculture bounty, fishermen’s vigor, and the rest of the

Luke: May I join Kuya Karlos in the carabao-swimming
race?
Lolo Mar: You may go with your Kuya Karlos but you
cannot join the race.
Mandy: Can you please tell us something about the
race, Lolo?
Lolo Mar: Six fishermen will ride in a canoe made from
used aluminum parts of World War II planes.
Lola Zita: These canoes are said to be lighter and faster
than those traditionally made from wood.
Luke: Can Mandy and I ride in the canoe?

after the race.
Mandy: Please allow us to go and watch these
different contests.

notice about the sentences? What do
these sentences tell us? Does the first
sentence state a purpose, what is it? How
about the second sentence, what do you
think is its purpose? Look at the third
sentence. What is the purpose of the
third sentence?

 There are sentences that have specific purposes such
as asking permission.
 We usually use the word “please” in these
sentences to show politeness.
 “Please” may be found in different parts of the
sentence---at the start, end, or before the verb.
 We can also use can, could, will, and would with
the word “please” as well as would you mind + v-
ing to make polite requests.
