2. Once upon a time, there was
a woman who lived with her
daughter, Pina in a tiny hut in
a village. They were very poor
and the mother worked day
and night to make both ends
meet. No matter how hard
she worked, she could never
get any help from her
daughter.

3. Pina was a lazy, spoilt kid who
liked to play in the backyard
all day. Whenever he mother
asked for help, she would
always find an excuse by
saying she couldn’t find the
object needed to complete
the task

4. One day, her mother became
very ill. She called out to Pina
and said, “Pina, Come here, I
am very sick. Can you cook
some porridge for me? I’m so
weak that I cannot get up!”
Pina ignored her mother and
continued to playing the backyard.
“Daughter, come over here this very
instant,” Pina’s mother mustered all
her strength just to call her. Pina
grudgingly stopped playing and went
inside the house.

5. She poked her head into her
mother’s room. “What do you
want, Mama? You really
expect me to cook for you?
That’s too hard!” Pina
protested pouting and
stomped her feet.
Her mother told her the recipe to
cook porridge and she told her that
whatever she would need was there
in the kitchen. Pina reluctantly left
and went to the kitchen. Her
mother could hear the banging of
the drawers and the cabinets.

6. Pina did you cooked what
I told you?
No
Why not?

7. What am I going to do with
you, Pina? I’m so sick but I
cannot even count on you,”
cried her poor mother.
Becaused I couldn't find
the laddle

8. The mother wept bitterly. In
her rage, she shouted, “I
wish you would grow a
thousand eyes all over your
head. Then, you can find
what you’re looking for.
Maybe then, Pina, you
won’t have so many such
excuses!” As soon as she
said this, there was
complete silence. Her
mother thought, “She’s
trying to be quiet so I can
forget about asking her
again,” she sighed.

9. Hours passed by and then
days. Still there was no sign of
her wayward daughter. With a
heavy heart, she thought Pina
had ran away. When she
recovered from her illness,
the first thing she did was
look for Pina. No one had
seen or heard from her. It was
as if she was disappeared into
thin air

10. One day, while sweeping
the backyard, where Pina
used to play, she noticed a
very strange plant growing
at the very spot where she
last saw Pina. By this time,
the leaves of the plant had
fully opened. Inside, she
saw this very strange
yellow fruit. It resembled a
child’s head with a
thousand eyes.

11. To honor the memory of her beloved daughter, she
named the fruit “Pina”. She took such loving care of it
like it was her own daughter. The fruit flourished so
well that it bore more and more fruits. It became very
popular among the villagers and the entire country. Its
name later evolved to “Pimia” or “Pineapple” in
English.
