Pedro is a generous horse and friendly to others. He is fond of collecting food.

While Juan is a selfish and greedy carabao. It is a tradition to their region in Ilocos to
give food to the neighbors and townsman to those who have nothing to eat. Pedro is
one who is giving food to his neighbors.

One day, in the barn where animals meet, Pedro noticed one of his friend Jer, a
mouse. Jer is lonely and he keeps on massaging his stomach.
Huhuhuhuhuhuhu: Jer cried.
Jer, why are you crying? ask Pedro.
I have nothing to eat at lunchtime because I have consumed all of my food and I dont
have money to buy food. Jer said.
Stop crying Jer, said Pedro.
You know Jer, tell me if you have any problem especially when you dont have any food
to eat.
Im willing to help you, said Pedro.
Thank you my friend. Jer said.
Its good I found you. Said Pedro.
Im glad you found me my friend. Said Jer.
Come on, Jer. Lets go to my place to have lunch. Im hungry too, said Pedro.
Alright! said Jer.

In a distance, without knowing it, Juan is quietly listening to their conversation.

Juan have plans to have more food in any way. Juan is really very selfish that he will
take any step to make his plans come true. Juan think of a way on how he will carry his
plans.

I will beg food from Pedro and tell him that I have nothing to eat. Surely, Pedro
will give me food. Said Jer to himself.

Juan would like to have lots of food as Pedro. Meanwhile, he left for a moment
to really think of his strategy.

Meanwhile, at Pedros stable. There are lots and different kinds of food. Pedro
offered Jer a cheese. Jer is wondering why Pedro have cheese.
Pedro, why do you have cheese? Do you eat cheese? Jer asked Pedro.
You know Jer, Im fond of collecting different kinds of food. Said Pedro.
Is that so? said Jer.
Its good you still have cheese. Its my favorite. Said Jer.
Youre lucky my friend. Said Pedro.

While eating lunch, Pedro and Jer are laughing with their jokes and stories.
For a while, they finished eating lunch. Jer is already full, same with Pedro.

Thank you very much for the lunch Pedro. Said Jer thankfully.

Youre welcome Jer. My door is open if you have any problem. Said Pedro.

Jer bid goodbye. He went away with full stomach and happy on his way to his
home. Pedro is busy fixing the dishes.

From a distance, Juan went out from his shelter waiting for Pedro to come out
from his stable to carry out his plans against Pedro. Pedro came out and Juan
immediately went to Pedros place. Juan will pretend to beg from Pedro.

Pedro, Im hungry, can you give me some food to eat? ask Juan.
Sure Juan, I will give you food. Said Pedro without hesitation.
Thank you Pedro, youre so kind. Said Juan.
Youre welcome. Said Pedro.

Pedro gave food to Juan. Juan immediately left out. He went to the other
animals in the farm to beg for food. Because they really pity Juan, they give him food to
eat.

Without their knowledge, Juan sell the food they gave to him instead of sharing it to
those who have nothing to eat. The hoax made by Juan have immediately known by
Pedro and the other animals. Pedro arrange a meeting with the other animals to stop
Juan from his wrong doings. Pedro became the leader of the group to convince Juan.

Lets find a way to stop Juan from selling food to his place. Pedro said.

Thats correct! the animals shouted.

The group immediately went in front of Juans shelter to convince him to stop
selling food to others. The foods that he beg from his neighboring animals.

Juan, stop selling foods. The foods that you beg from us. The group shouted.

Juan is surprise from what he hear in front of his house.

What I have done? Said Juan pretentiously.

Did you know that your way of begging and selling food to others is wrong, said Pedro.

Did I have done wrong? said Juan. Still pretending to be innocent.

Yes! Youre wrong! You fooled us and your neighbors. The group said.

The group led by Pedro go inside Juans house to recall and withdraw all the
foods that they gave to him. They left nothing to Juan because they want him to learn
his lesson and not to do it again.

Get all the stuff. Said Juan angrily.

After getting all the food, Juan repent from what he has done. He thought that he
abused his neighbors and friends as well.

Pedro give the foods to thoe who have nothing to eat.

Pedro advised Juan.

Juan, if you want to give or sell food, dont ask from others.
Earn by yourself and save. Said Pedro.
Alright Pedro, I will follow your advised. Juan said.
Promised me Juan that you will not do it again. Said Pedro.
Yes Pedro, I promised. Said Juan.

From thereon, Juan have learned how to save food. He doesnt sell food
anymore. Instead, he helped Pedro in giving food to their neighbors and townsman.
Pedro and Juan became friends forever. The other animals became friends with Juan
too.
