Legend of Tamarind

1. LOADING…
BY: PRINCESS ERICA C. TANALIGA

2. Long time ago, In a far away kingdom there were three
evil princes . They were Prince Samuel, Prince Palileo
and Prince Lokario.

3. Since they are all friends, most of the time they meet
and are always together wandering. Everytime these
three are all together, bad things always happen and
that is for certain.
How are
you guys
doing?
Yeah, as
always!
Were good,
lets get some
fun!

4. They make fun with the dumdum, retarded and
illiterate. They become very oppressive,snobbish and
cruel to the poor people.
Please give
me some
food!
Don’t you
dare touch
me!
You’re not on
our level,
leave!

5. Even the adults are not respected by the three princes.
They are only kind to their wealthy peers and the royal
blood.
It’s my
pleasure to
meet you!
How are
you,
madam?
I’m good,
thank you!

6. One day while the three princes are wandering
mounted to their horses, they passed by a crystal clear
creek. They briefly stopped there and watched two
young women bathing in the clear waters.
Whoa, let’s
look at the
creek!
Beautiful ladies,
it seems a nice
view!

7. Delighted with the view and shape of the young
woman’s body that is almost transparent with a thin
apron they’re wearing, they laugh hardly harassing
these women.
Your majesties,
please do not watch
and laugh at us.

8. Prince Samuel went mad as he disembarks from his
horse and just slaps the young woman without any
hesitation. The prince attempted another strike when
suddenly an old woman intervined.
How dare
you talk to
us like that!
You just
disrespected
us!
Please
spare us! STOP, YOU
CRUEL
PRINCES!

9. The young women and the three princes were suddenly
stunned when the old woman shift her form,she is
actually a fairy. Rather than repent and ask forgiveness,
the three princes are fuming with anger and even
threatened the fairy.

It is already time to
address your evil
actions!

Were not afraid to you,
old woman!

10. After pointing the magic wand to the three princes,
their eyes fell off. The incident was so frightening
because the princes’ eyes that fall on the ground were
suddenly devoured by the earth. Since they are already
blind, they no longer know how to travel back to their
home and fell off a cliff.
your evil a
your evil a your evil a
AAAHH! WHAT
HAPPEN TO ME!
YOU GOTTA PAY FOR
THIS OLD WOMAN!
MY EYES! AAAAH!

11. The next day, people wondered all of a sudden a tree grew on the same
spot where the eyes of three princes were absorbed by the ground. Days
have passed and finally the tree bear its fruits. When they taste, it’s very
sour! Maybe it was due to the closed eye like carved on the seed of the
sour fruit so they remembered the eyes of Prince Samuel, Prince Palileo
and Prince Lokario.

12. Consequently, they
decided to call it
“SAMPALOK”
(Tamarind in English)
the tree and its fruits,
eventually, people
learned to use the sour
tamarind fruit as a
leavening agent or
condiments in cooking
dishes.
