By Alejo Arce, Jr Long, long time ago, when the world was young, there flourished a beautiful and prosperous town in what is now the lake. The people of the town were contented, happy, and peaceful for they had all what they needed. They were very industrious. They were loving, humble and hospitable, and much more, they were religious. Being in the state of plenty, the people became lavish and luxurious. They began indulging in vices and frivolous, abandoning their religious duties. One subsequent day, an old man visited the town. He was clothed in rags, and was lame and pitiful to behold. The old man roamed the town, begging for alms. He went from house to house, but unfortunately nobody pitied him. Nobody cared to give anything. Instead the old man received insults, mockery, and ridicule. He was ultimately driven out of the town. After few days, the sky became very dark. There was thunder, and it seemed there was very strong typhoon fast approaching. Hours pass
