A Reflection on the Folktale “How the Moon and the Stars came to be”
This story, is a folktale in the mute area in Bukidnon. This story took place in an unknown area in Bukidnon but the story was said famous. The story talks about how the moon and the stars began when a Bukidnon Spinster began her work. The sky was said that it was low at that time. So she took off her beads around the neck (necklace) and her comb and put them in the sky. The necklace and the comb went up when she was pounding the rice. When the spinster struck her pestle the sky rises because it can be poke because it was low. The spinster did not know what she is doing that’s why when she was looking for her valuables she did not realized that it was now on top (sky) and she can’t reach it. The comb that rose became the moon and the beads became the stars.
The spinster, for me is very unfortunate because she lost her valuables. The spinster was just doing her job and lost her things. The things that were put on top of the sky were now an element of the sky. The story is a folktale about why we have a moon and stars. I heard this story from my mother when I was that little of age and she (mother) also knew about this when she was young because it is a famous folktale pass by many generations to generations. The story is a bit complicated because it was been passed on and been summarized by many people. The story also tells us that the pestle of spinster’s was long. The story be or actually can be a legend of how the star and the moon.
