Ang Talong Ni Father

eggplantHeto pong si Father ay mayroong hardin
At talong ang noo’y doon nakatanim
Isang araw nang mga bunga’y aanihin
Biglaang mga bisita’y nagsidating.

Naroo’y si lola Basyang, isang biyuda
Kasama’y si Luring, matandang dalaga
At nang mga talong kanilang nakita
Biglaang nanlaki kanilang mga mata.

“Ang talong po ba ninyo’y puwedeng hawakan?”
Ang tanong kay Father nitong lola Basyang.
“Basta ba paghawak mo’y hinay-hinay lang.”
Ang wika ng pari bilang katugunan.

“Ah father …” Wika naman ni aling Luring.
“Ang talong po ninyo’y kay sarap himasin.
Mahaba’t kay kinis ang sarap kagatin.”
Ani father, “Inyo po munang lutuin.”

“Naku… naku kayo po eh sobrang pilya.
Kung talong ko’y gusto n’yo, sige dampot na.”
“Ay thank you po! Ang bait mo father talaga.”
Ang sabay na sabi ng soltera’t biyuda

“Oh bakit po tatlo ang inyong kinuha
Gayong kayo naman po eh dadalawa?”
At ang kasagutan ng biyuda’t soltera –
“Eh uulamin po namin itong isa.”
