- Page 7Walang nakakaalam kung saan siya nagmula. Isa siyang napakagandang dilag, lagpas-balikat ang buhok na sing-itim ng gabi. Lagi niyang kasama ang alagang puting kuwago. No one knew where she came from. A beautiful woman with hair as black as night that went past her shoulders, she was always seen with her white pet owl.
- Nakakapanindig-balahibo ang huni ng puting kuwago. “Huuu, huuu.”A white owl’s call sent shivers down one’s spine. “Hoot, hoot.” 6
- Page 11Walang nakakakilala sa kanya, pero dahil sa amo ng mukha niya ay tinawag siyang Maria ng mga tao bilang paghahalintulad sa mukha ng Mahal na Birheng Maria. Mahusay na manghahabi si Maria ng makikintab at magagandang tela ng sutla. No one knew who she was, but her gentle face earned her the name Maria, after the Holy Virgin Mary whose face was like hers. Maria was a skilled weaver of bright and lovely fabrics of silk.
- Page 12Pinaniniwalaan ng mga tao na may kapangyarihan ang telang makapagpagaling ng may karamdaman kapag ginamit ito bilang balabal o pangkumot sa maysakit. Sinasabing matapos magpagaling ay nawawala na ang kintab ng tela, tanda ng pagkawala ng angkin nitong bisa. Kung gayon, nagiging karaniwang tela na lamang ito. The townspeople believed the fabrics had the power to heal when used as a shawl or blanket for the sick. It was said that after healing a person, the fabric lost its luster—a sign that it no longer had power and had turned into an ordinary piece of cloth.
- Page 15Ang bulung-bulungan, isa raw engkantada si Maria na naninirahan sa kalapit na engkantadong kagubatan. Nakakatakot itong lugar kaya walang naglalakas-loob na pumasok dito. Dati raw itong lugar ng isang sinaunang pamayanan na inabandona at ngayon ay sinakop na ng kagubatan. Ganap nang nilamon ng naglalakihang puno ang mga guho. In whispers, they said Maria was an enchantress who lived in the nearby enchanted forest. No one dared enter the ghostly woods. They said it used to be an ancient village, now abandoned and conquered by the wild. Towering trees have completely swallowed the ruins.
- Page 16Isang araw, nagtitinda ng telang sutla si Maria sa bayan nang nasilayan siya ng isang makisig na manlalakbay. Agad na nabighani ang binatang manlalakbay na si Ponso at umibig sa dalaga. One day, Maria was selling her silks in town when a handsome traveler set his eyes upon her. It was love at first sight for the traveler, Ponso.
- Page 178363
- Page 19Di nagtagal, nagpahayag ng pag-ibig ang binata na tinanggap naman ng dalaga. Nagpakasal sila at nagsama sa kubo ni Maria sa pusod ng engkantadong kagubatan. Soon, the young man declared his love, and the young woman accepted. They got married and lived in Maria’s hut in the middle of the enchanted forest.
- Page 20Hitik noon ang gubat sa mayayabong at luntiang punò. Nagsimulang malagas ang mga dahon at matuyo ang mga puno dahil sa mga insektong sumakop at nanahan sa kagubatan. Sa mga supot o bahay-uod ng mga insekto kinukuha ng mag-asawa ang mga sutlang hibla na ginagamit nila sa paghahabi ng tela. In those days, the woods were thick with lush green trees. The leaves began to dry up and fall because of the insects that came to the forest and lived there. From their cocoons, the couple gathered the silken threads they used for weaving.
- Page 23Sa gabi, ang nakapangingilabot na huni ng puting kuwago ang tanging bumabasag sa katahimikan. “Huuu, huuu,” huni ng puting kuwago.
- Page 24Sa loob ng maraming taon, namuhay ang mag-asawa nang payapa at tahimik. Pareho silang masipag at magkatuwang sa umuunlad nilang negosyo ng hinabing tela ng sutla. Si Maria ang tagahabi samantalang si Ponso naman ang tagadala ng mga tela sa bayan para ilako ito. Lubhang mabenta ang mga tela nilang sutla dahil sa kintab at ganda ng mga ito, kasama pa ang paniniwalang kaya nitong magpagaling ng may karamdaman. For many years, the couple lived quietly and peacefully. They were both hard workers, partners in their growing business of woven silks. Maria wove the fabrics and Ponso brought them to town to sell them. The weaves were in demand because of their beauty and shine, not to mention the belief that they could cure the sick.
- Page 27Papauwi si Ponso isang araw nang tambangan siya ng masasamang-loob na dayo sa kanilang bayan. Ninakaw ang perang napagbentahan at ang masaklap pa nito ay sinaktan si Ponso ng mga kawatan. Ponso was on his home one day when wandering bandits stopped him in his tracks. They stole that day’s earnings, and to make matters worse, the outlaws beat him up.
- Page 28Nang hindi umuwi si Ponso ng gabing iyon, nagpasya si Maria na hanapin siya kinaumagahan. Natagpuan niya si Ponso na wala nang buhay sa paanan ng isang malaking tuod ng balete. When Ponso did not make it home that night, Maria resolved to look for him the morning after. She found Ponso lifeless at a stump of a giant banyan tree.
- Page 31Katuwang ang alaga niyang puting kuwago, mabilis siyang nagpasya na baluting parang bahay-uod ang labí ng asawa gamit ang mga hibla ng mahiwagang sutla. Buong ingat niyang binalot ng sutlang sinulid ang labí ng asawa. With her white owl, she quickly decided to place her husband’s remains in a cocoon, using the threads of the mysterious silk. She carefully covered her husband’s body with silken weave.
- Page 32Pagkayari, sarili naman ang binalutan ng sutlang sinulid. When she was done, she likewise wrapped herself with silk.
- Page 35Lumipas ang mga araw at tila naglahong parang bula ang mag-asawa. Dahil dito ay nangahas na ang mga tao na puntahan ang bahay ng mag-asawa sa pusod ng engkantadong gubat. Days passed and it seemed as if the couple had vanished into thin air. The townspeople gathered their courage to visit the couple’s home in the middle of the enchanted forest.
- Page 36Ngunit wala silang nakita doon kundi ang dalawang malalaking bahay-uod na walang laman at dalawang malalaki at magagandang paruparo na laging magkasama sa paglipad-lipad. Tinawag nila ang dalawang paruparo na Maria at Ponso na kalaunan ay binigkas na lamang sa pangalang Mariposa. But they saw nothing there, apart from two huge empty cocoons, and two large and beautiful butterflies who flew everywhere at each other’s side. They called the two butterflies Maria and Ponso, and eventually, Mariposa.
- Page 39Mula noon ay naging tanda na ang Mariposa ng muling pagkabuhay o pagbabagong-anyo. Kapag kabilugan ng buwan, madalas makita ang Mariposa na lilipad-lipad sa kagubatan. Tila ayaw ng pares na mahiwalay sa isa’t isa. Tunay nga na kahit ang kamatayan ay hindi kayang tapusin ang pag-iibigan ng mag-asawang Maria at Ponso. Since then, the Mariposa has been a symbol of rebirth or transformation. During fool moons, the Mariposa can often be seen flying around in the woods, an inseparable pair. Indeed, even death could not end the love between Maria and Ponso.
- Page 40Tuwing gabi, binabasag pa rin ng nakakapangilabot na huni ng puting kuwago ang katahimikan ng engkantadong gubat. “Huuu, huuu,” huni ng puting kuwago na para bang nagdadalamhati sa pagkawala ng kaniyang mga amo.

Sa loob ng maraming taon, namuhay ang mag-asawa nang payapa at tahimik. Pareho silang masipag at magkatuwang sa umuunlad nilang negosyo ng hinabing tela ng sutla. Si Maria ang tagahabi samantalang si Ponso naman ang tagadala ng mga tela sa bayan para ilako ito. Lubhang mabenta ang mga tela nilang sutla dahil sa kintab at ganda ng mga ito, kasama pa ang paniniwalang kaya nitong magpagaling ng may karamdaman.

Papauwi si Ponso isang araw nang tambangan siya ng masasamang-loob na dayo sa kanilang bayan. Ninakaw ang perang napagbentahan at ang masaklap pa nito ay sinaktan si Ponso ng mga kawatan. Ponso was on his home one day when wandering bandits stopped him in his tracks. They stole that day’s earnings, and to make matters worse, the outlaws beat him up.

Nang hindi umuwi si Ponso ng gabing iyon, nagpasya si Maria na hanapin siya kinaumagahan. Natagpuan niya si Ponso na wala nang buhay sa paanan ng isang malaking tuod ng balete. When Ponso did not make it home that night, Maria resolved to look for him the morning after. She found Ponso lifeless at a stump of a giant banyan tree.

Katuwang ang alaga niyang puting kuwago, mabilis siyang nagpasya na baluting parang bahay-uod ang labí ng asawa gamit ang mga hibla ng mahiwagang sutla. Buong ingat niyang binalot ng sutlang sinulid ang labí ng asawa. With her white owl, she quickly decided to place her husband’s remains in a cocoon, using the threads of the mysterious silk. She carefully covered her husband’s body with silken weave.

Lumipas ang mga araw at tila naglahong parang bula ang mag-asawa. Dahil dito ay nangahas na ang mga tao na puntahan ang bahay ng mag-asawa sa pusod ng engkantadong gubat. Days passed and it seemed as if the couple had vanished into thin air. The townspeople gathered their courage to visit the couple’s home in the middle of the enchanted forest.

Ngunit wala silang nakita doon kundi ang dalawang malalaking bahay-uod na walang laman at dalawang malalaki at magagandang paruparo na laging magkasama sa paglipad-lipad. Tinawag nila ang dalawang paruparo na Maria at Ponso na kalaunan ay binigkas na lamang sa pangalang Mariposa. But they saw nothing there, apart from two huge empty cocoons, and two large and beautiful butterflies who flew everywhere at each other’s side. They called the two butterflies Maria and Ponso, and eventually, Mariposa.

Every night, the silence would still be broken only by the chilling call of the white owl in the enchanted forest.
“Hoot, hoot,” the white owl would call, mourning the loss of its two masters.

Natutuwa pa rin siyang manood ng mga ulap.
