Juan Osong
There is a story from the olden days about Juan Pusong.
Juan Pusong was a watcher of· cows. The cows were in a corral along the beach. One day Pusong went to the corral to inspect the cows. What he did was to cut off the tails of all the cows and bury them in the ground so only their tips showed. He then opened the corral and drove the ·cows into the forest. After this he reported to the king. He told the king:
'Senor, all the cows in the corral burrowed into the sand except for their tails that are still sticking out."
The king walked to the corral with Pus.ong; there were no trucks [i.e. buses] then. The king was worried what to do when he saw only the tails of his cows exposed. He ordered Pusong to go to the queen to borrow a sadol. [Sadol in Samaran means a type of pick but also, by double-entendre, coition]. P'usong went to the queen. On his arrival at the palace he told the queen:
'Senora, I was told to come for the sadol.'
'Oh, you foolish Pusong, get out of here,' the queen said.
Pusong went to the king at the corral and told him:
'The queen does not want to give me the sadol.'
'Go again and get the sadol from the queen,' ordered the king.
Pusong ran to the palace and said to the queen:
'Senora, I was told to sadol by the king. So the queen permitted him to "sadol" her.
'Where is the sadol? ,' the king asked Pusong.
'Oh, I lost it on my way. I don't know where it is now.'
The king returned home with Pusong. The queen told the king that Juan Pusong had come and 'made foolishness' [coition].
'He asked for sadol and I ga,ve him sadol,' said the queen.
The king imprisoned Pusong in a cage. The cage was built along a path. To the many who walked past along the path,
Pusong kept shouting:
'I don't want to ma,rry the princess!'
The princess was the most beautiful girl in the city. She was like Miss Philippines. Friends of Pusong passed while he cried out: 'I don't want to marry the princess.' A prince asked Pusong:
