Today's story is "Mystique of Campo: Timo, Guardian of the Putat" written by Jeanille Cogtas. Now, this story starts with a farmer accidentally hitting the Putat but is very lucky that the tee isn't damaged. Continues with the encanto getting mad and wants to take his beautiful daughter as an exchange for the damage. The farmer didn't want his daughter to get taken away because he dears her very much. He became an encanto as an exchange for his daughter and so on.
The local color used in this story are dialect, social customs, mannerism, and object. "Tabi! tabi! I'm so sorry, I do not intend to harm your adobe". This phrase is counted as dialect because "tabi! tabi!" is a tagalog word for "excuse me". Dialect is the use of certain words in the dialect of the origin of the narrative adds areability and authencity to the roots of the characters on the setting itself. "I'm so sorry" is part of a social custom because it means the use of rituals adherence to the old ways which may tend to ignite curiosity among readers. it also means the etiquette of a person. The Putat would be counted as object because is the se of certain objects reflective of their origin from a certain region. Putat is a tree that they called Putat because an encanto lives there. If we talk about the whole story, mannerism is applied. It means a small action that can make a huge impact. This is applied to where the farmer only made a small mistake and the tree wasn't even damaged but the encanto got mad and made it a huge problem, took away the farmer's presence with the daughter by making him encanto.
All in all, the story is just really interesting and fun to read. We should all learn from the story about how we shouldn't make such a small mistake, a big one. I have no comment with the story because of how good it is. It basically has everything I asked for a short story.
