Region 2 legend of magat river

1. describe the character of the man that is shown in the legend.

-Once upon a time there was a strong, handsome, and tall man lived in bayombong. He was loved and respected with his
co villages and envied him about his prowess. He is magat the great hunter. One day, magat went for adventure and
there he found out the largest stream he had ever seen. He beheld on the grass and saw a beautiful maiden bathing on
the stream. While staring at the maiden he saw a snake goes to the girl so he killed and saved her from the stream.
Magat fell in love with the lovely maiden so he asked her to be his wife. The maiden agreed but for a one condition.
Magat should not meet her at noon. Magat had a promised and they lived together. He built a cozy house for his wife to
rest. After living for many days, Magat mounted more and confused about the activity of his wife at noon so he tried to
discover. Magat saw a crocodile on the bed of his wife believing that the crocodile ate her .He got his spear and killed
the crocodile and when he looked down he saw his wife whispering that why magat broke his promise that she will no
longer be happy and no longer to live. Magat drowned himself at the stream where he had met and saved his wife.

2. Identify a common experience of the people that is shown in the legend.

-“Don’t lie and don’t make promises you know you can’t keep” this is the lesson I learned about the legend of Magat
River. Many people are pretty casual about making promises. As a result, promises are frequently made at the drop of
hat with no real intention of keeping it. When you break a promise no matter how small it may seem to you. Alarm bells
aren’t going to go off, but it can damage relationship or your reputation. Just like what happened on the story. Think
about it, when someone else breaks a promise to you or gets caught in a lie doesn’t make you feel violated or cheated?
You can’t help wondering whether you were wrong to ever trust that person. So never make promises you know you
can’t keep.
