In Greek and Roman literature, they believe in the existence of the beautiful nymps.

My brother is short and plump while my sisters are tall and slender.

The mischievous students were brought to the guidance office.

The teacher will give the background information first about the author, and she
will present the selection, “The Origin of the World (Maranaw)” retold by Abdullah T.
Madale
What is the belief of Maranaws on how the world was created?

D. Analysis
According to Maranaw folklore, this world was created by a great Being. It is not
known, however, who exactly is this great Being. Or how many days it took him to
create this world.
 This world is divided into seven layers. The earth has also seven layers. Each
layer is inhabited by a different kind of being. The uppermost layer, for example, is the
place we are inhabiting. The second layer is being inhabited by dwarfs. These dwarfs
are short, plump, and long-haired. They are locally known as Karibanga. The Karibanga
are said to possess magical powers. They are usually invisible to the human eye. The
third layer of the earth which is found under the sea or lake is inhabited by nymphs.
These nymphs also possess certain magical powers. It is stated in the story of Rajah
Indarapatra that he met and fell in love with the princess-nymph with whom he had a
child.

The sky also consists of seven layers. Each layer has a door which is guarded
day and night by huge mythical birds called garoda. The seventh layer of the sky is the
seat of heaven which is also divided into seven layers. Every layer in the sky is
inhabited by angels. Maranaws believe that angels do not need food. They all possess
wings with which they fly.

Heaven which is found on the seventh layer of the sky is where good people‘s
spirits go after death. Saints are assigned to the seventh layer while persons
who―barely made it‖ are confined to the lower most layer which is found at the bottom
of heaven.

It is in heaven where we find the tree-of-life. On each leaf of the tree-of-life is

written the name of every person living on earth. As soon as a leaf ripens or dries and
falls, the person whose name it carries also dies.

The soul of every person is found in tightly covered jars kept in one section of
heaven. This particular section of heaven is closely guarded by a monster with a
thousand eyes, named Walo. Walo, in addition to his thousand eyes, has also eight
hairy heads. The epic Darangan speaks of Madale, Bantugan‘s brother and, Mabaning,
Husband of Lawanen, entering this section and retrieving the soul of Bantugan.
