G. READING
The Parable of the Farmers’ Fantasies
Juan Flavier
The five farmers were resting under a mango tree where they had just finished eating their
packed lunch (bugong). It was too hot to resume work in the rice paddies. The searing effect of the direct
noonday sun was too much for the men and beasts. Their carabaos wallowed in the mud puddle to cool off.
“Did you hear of the Filipino who won $12 million in the New York lottery?” asked one of the
farmers as he fanned himself with his straw that.
“Yes,” the others chorused, “it was the top news in the early radio broadcast this morning.”
“I wonder what I would do if I had that kind of money,” said another farmer to no one in particular.
There was a momentary silence except for the rustle of leaves nearby. The youngest farmer broke the
silence by saying, “If I had that much money, I will take on seven wives.”
The group all laughed at the same time. “You are too ambitious. Six is enough so you can have one
day of rest,” said another farmer. There was even louder giggling.
“In my case, I will buy a luxury ship and travel to all countries I have only read about,” proclaimed
the second farmer. “I would buy a plane but I’m afraid of heights.”
“Me. I will buy all the land. Maybe several barrios. That way I can feel like an haciendero
(landowner) with his wealth and property,” exclaimed the third farmer.
The fourth farmer added his view, “With the money I will buy a high government position. That way,
I can have tremendous power over a big number of people.”
During it all, the oldest and the fifth farmer remained silent. The farmers’ fantasies were so wild that
he smiled but said nothing. “You must have secret thoughts with that great wealth available to you,” the
group told the old farmer. “Tell us your fantasies.”
In a measured tone, the wise farmer replied, “I want peace of mind, the acceptance by my neighbors,
friendship with those I meet and respect from my kinfolks.”
It took a little time for his reply to sink in. “But Lakay (old) Masong what you dream of does not need
money to attain.”
“Yes,” agreed the old man, “that is why among the five of us, only I can attain my fantasy.”
