Kabanata 12

Horseback riding 

They continued their conversation while I looked around. I even saw a man in the distance feeding a bundle of grass to a goat inside the fence. Nilapitan ko ang lalaki.

"Magandang umaga po." Magiliw na bati ko sa lalaki.

Napabaling ito sa akin at ngumiti ito. "Magandang umaga din po Ma'am."

"Pwede po bang masubukan." I said and held out my hand to get the grass from him.

"Ah sige po." Sagot nito at ibinigay sa akin ang hawak na damo.

I sat in front of the fence. Akala ko madali lang yun pero ngayon na ako na ang magpapakain ay bigla akong natakot. Hinawakan ko ang dulo ng damo sa takot na baka makain ang kamay ko. I even got nervous when the goat quickly approached me and ate the grass I was holding.

I slowly smiled as the goat continued ate the grass. I even glanced at the man on my left side. He smiled at what I was doing, I smiled too. But He eventually backed away.

"Marunong ka pala niyan."
