ALAMAT NG SAMPALOK (The Legend of the Tamarind)

Noong unang panahon, may isang donya na ubod ng damot. Nang tumubo at mamunga ang isang kakaibang puno sa kanyang bakuran, sinampal muna niya ang matandang nanghingi ng bunga bago niya inalok dito ang bunga.

In the old days, there was a dona who was extremely stongy. When a strange tree grew in her garden and it bore fruits, she slapped the old woman who begged some of the fruits before she offered some to her.
