Why the Sky is High In the early days, when the sky was still low, two brothers named Ingat and Daskol lived with their parents on Earth. As their names indicate, Ingat was careful in everything he did and was therefore his father’s right hand man. He was always helping with the work in the field and his parent’s were very pleased with him. On the other hand, Daskol did his work sloopily. In the absence of the daughter in the family, the house work came, to be Daskol’s responsibility. He fetched water, cleaned the house, and did cooking. He also did the pounding of the palay that his father and Ingat harvested. Even in pounding, Daskol lived up to his name. Half of the grain he pounded scattered and fell to the ground. Being naturally lazy and impatient, he did not like the work of pounding. One day, Daskol had to pound a greater quantity of palay than usual. He was irritated because every time he raised the pestle, it would hit the sky. His anger added to his strength and desire to finish the work quickly. So, he raised the pestle higher and every time it hit the sky, the sky will be raised. In his hurry Daskol did not notice that the sky was rising. When he finished pounding rice he looked up and discovered that the sky had risen and it is where it is today.
