The Legend of Pineapple
Long time ago, before we even have Pineapples.
There's a mother & her daughter living happily in a small neighborhood
Rosa is the name of the mother
her daughter's name is Pinang.
she's 10 years old.
It's been years when Rosa's husband died, so Pinang grew up without a father.
Rosa doesn't want her daughter to grow up lazy so she teaches her household chores
unfortunately Pinang doesn't want to listen & do what her mother ask
because she's the only child, she love her so much
to a point she just ignores Pinang's hardheadedness
One day Rosa got sick that she can't get up and do chores.
She asked Pinang to cook.
but as usual Pinang is so lazy to do household chores.
She would rather play outside than help her sick mom.
realizing she doesn't have any choice, Pinang decided to cook.
before she even started to cook she asked her mom "where's the Ladle?"
few minutes later she returned to ask where the other cooking utensils are.
even though its just where the ladle is
Pinang doesn't have any eyesight problem, she's just lazy to look for it
she returned again to ask where some utensils are
Rosa's so sick and annoyed with Pinang's asking too many question.
in her anger she said:
Pinang I wish you have more eyes so that you can see everything & stop asking!
Since her mom is so angry, Pinang decided to go look for it herself.
Later that afternoon, Rosa felt better was able to getup in bed
Where's Pinang?
Is she done cooking?
Rosa looked for her but she's not inside the house
maybe she's outside playing..
She's not outside either..
Rosa found Pinang's sleepers and a weird shape plant.
This strange plant is round and long like a human head.
it's surrounded with eyes.. Rosa remembered what she said to Pinang.
She wished Pinang would have many eyes to find what she's looking for.
She felt sad that her words came true
nevertheless she took good care of the plant and called it Pinang in memory of her daughter
a few years passed, the plant multiplied
since then Rosa's neighbor called it Pineapple
and this is the legend of Pineapple
