Title: The Little Carabao and the Farmer
Mang Ramon was a hardworking farmer who worked in his rice fields every day with his carabao, Kaloy. One day, while pulling the plow, Kaloy stopped and refused to move. “I’m too tired, Mang Ramon,” said Kaloy. Surprised that his carabao could talk, Mang Ramon paused and realized Kaloy had been working hard without rest. “I understand, Kaloy,” he said. “Let’s take a break.”
They sat under the shade of a mango tree. Kaloy suggested, “If we take short breaks, we can still finish our work without getting too tired.” Mang Ramon agreed, and from then on, they worked together more efficiently. As a result, their rice field grew better than ever, and the villagers admired how well they worked as a team.
