si kabayan brings home the corn

si kabayan had been ordered by his father-in-law to collect the ripe corn from the garden and bring it in to the house. too lazy to carry so many ears of corn himself, he tied them together and hung them on a bamboo pole which he slung across the back of his horse. then he himself mounted the beast and held the pole on his shoulders. his father-in-law saw him approaching the house and called. 'kabayan, kabayan, what it the name of heaven are you doing? why are you carrying the corn that way, sitting on the horse with the pole over your shoulder?'
'ah, pa,' replied kabayan, 'otherwise it would be too heavy for my horse.'

  1. Hey what's up brother, this is your pal Robe Flax from Fayetteville. We have a mutual friend in Emily Romund. Weird stuff, my friend dialed up one of your mixes the other night and I was like "I know that guy!" and conversation ensued. Shout at me if you come up to Fayetteville sometime, we need to talk shop.

    --------Marc.
