gods met. Ulilang Kaluluwa, seeing another
god rivalling him, was not pleased. He
challenged Bathala to a fight to decide who

dead gods grew a tall tree with a big round nut,
which is the coconut tree. Bathala took the nut and
husked it. He noticed that the inner skin was hard.
The nut itself reminded him of Galang Kaluluwa’s
head. It had two eyes, a nose, and a round mouth. Its
leaves looked so much like the wings of his dear
winged friend. But the trunk was hard and ugly, like
the body of his enemy, the snake Ulilang Kaluluwa.

trunk and leaves of the coconut’ trees. For food,
they drank the coconut juice and ate its delicious
white meat. Its leaves, they discovered, were great
for making mats, hats, and brooms. Its fiber could
be used for rope and many other things.

Do you take your dog for a walk or does your dog take you for a
walk? Leash pulling is a common problem with puppies, especially
large breeds. Leash pulling can easily lead to your dog getting free
of his leash or into trouble. To leash-train your dog, you must stop
and stand still every time he pulls on the leash. When the dog
calms down, praise him, wait a minute, and then begin to walk
slowly. The minute he starts pulling again, stop, wait, praise, and
then move on. With your patience, your dog will soon learn not to
pull on his leash.
