MARSHA'S ENCOUNTER with the LITTLE PRINCE                          

         After a long, long journey, the next planet that the little prince visited was an average sized planet where you can find a dreamer girl who was fond of watching television.
         “Hello, good afternoon”, the little prince greeted while knocking at the door softly.
         “Good afternoon won't you come in”, the girl said. The girl let the prince come in because she was thinking that he is a good person. Then the little prince comes in. When he enters at the room the girl invited him to watch her favorite show Anghel na Walang Langit.
         “What is a television?” the little prince asked.
         “A T.V. or a television is the electronic transmission moving images with sound”, the girl said.
After a while the little prince and girl watched Anghel na Walang Langit.
         “What does Anghel na Walang Langit means?” the little prince asked.
         “Halaka tabang! Sosmariosep! Wala ka kasayud unsay pasabot ato”, the girl said.
         “Please explain it I can’t understand. I can only speak one language”, the little prince begs.
         “O.K. I’m sorry. It means you can’t understand what is Anghel na Walang Langit. I’m really sorry”, the girl said.
         “It’s all right. But, what is Anghel na Walang Langit?”, the prince said that never let go any question once he had asked.
          “It means Angels without heavens. This is one of the Pinoy or Filipino soap operas that we watch during night. This is part of our life”, the girl replied.
          After a few minutes the little prince was acting like a child. He can't stay in a one placed. The girl saw all her peculiar actions.  
          "Are you all right?", the girl asked.
          “I feel so bored. Caring with my rose is more fun than watching soap operas”, the little prince said.
           The girl didn’t reply because she felt bad. She was so sad the little prince did that. So, she was quite for a long time. Then the little prince saw her crying. The little prince looks at her.
         “Why are you crying? Did I say bad?” the little prince asked.
         “No, no! I just remember my mother at this show because the show is all about children who have no parents just like me. Here is my mothers  picture the girl said while crying. She left us when we were only child. Then my grandmother or Lola was the only one who raised us.
         “What we?” the little prince asked.
         “My brother my sister and me. She didn’t sent money or just a mail or call.
          “Stop crying. When your mother loves you, she will be going back no matter what happened”, the little prince said.
But the girl continued crying until she slept beside the little prince.
The girl dreamed a happy land. It has a plenty of confetti’s or banderitas around the town. It has also plenty of trees, flowers, people, houses and it has one church. When the little prince went there he saw a banner “Happy Fiesta Inahan sa Kanunay na Panabang”. When a girl passed by bringing a basket with flowers. The little prince approached her.
          “Hello! What is your name and why are you bringing basket?” the little prince asked.
           “My name is Marsha. I’m bringing this basket to join the procession of Mother of Perpetual Help. I will offer her this flower because I want to thank her for the blessings that he gave for me and for my family. This is her day. This is now the fiesta of this place”, the girl said.
           “You! What is your name?” the girl asked.
           “My name is Little Prince and I am from asteroid B-612. I’m here to continue my journey,” the little prince said.
           “What from asteroid B-612. You’re an alien”, The girl said.
           “So if I am an alien you don’t want to be my friend,” the little prince said.
           “No, I just said that because you’re my first alien friend. It is really my pleasure to have a friend like you,” the girl said.
           “Come and follow me I’ll tour you at the fiesta celebration.
           “Fiesta?” the prince asked.
           “Fiesta is a celebration of every Saint and Virgin Mary here in Philippines. Fiesta is consisting of eating, dancing, singing, games and etc.” the girl said. “This is a very special and a happy day because it only held once in a year for every place. This is one of the many cultures of a Filipino”, the girl said while walking.
            While, walking the dog barks the little prince and the girl. Because they were both afraid they run and run until they reached at the crowded people. They saw three bamboos that have been standing.

           “Those are bamboos. Those bamboos are used to gone a palosebo,” said the girl.
           “What is a palosebo?” the little prince asked.
           “A palosebo is a traditional game during fiesta. The trunk of the bamboo is used to gone this game. The trunk will be brushed with oil or wax. Then the challenger will climb the said bamboo trunk and get the desire flag or the desire coins. The challenger should stick to the only one rule they should know how to climb,” the girl said.
           “Do you want to join?” the girl asked
           “Sure why not,” the little prince reply.
           Then the little prince joined. He has two competitors that we were master of climbing. When the little prince climb he falls down. But he didn’t give up. But he fall down again and again and again. But he didn’t give up. He climbs to the top but obviously he got the third place.
After the game they walk until they reach at the girl’s house. The prince

           Then the girl gets the hand of her Lola and blessed it in her forehead.
          “Mano po Lola,” the girl said.
          “Kaawaan ka naman ng Diyos apo” the Lola said.
          “Why did you do that,” the prince asked.
          “Simple to show respect,” the girl said.
          When the little prince entered the house he was amazed of brown big
lechon baboy or roasted pig. They ate the crispy lechon baboy and soak it at PATIS because Filipinos like much patis.They also ate other Filipino dishes like kare-kare, adobo, humba, pancit and others.

         “Good bye my friend”
         “Farewell. I’d enjoyed here so much. Thank you very much. I promise that if I see your mother from my journey I will come back.  I got the picture a while ago when you got asleep. Please don’t cry anymore you’re very lucky because you have a grandmother who will takes care of you since you’re a child. We don’t know if your mother will came back. Just believe in her, all things are possible. Remember that the love of a mother never fades away.
         The little prince went off on his journey.
           “I hope I can see you again. I’ll be missing you. I knew that I hurt you but you didn’t show up your feelings at me. You’re so nice to me.
I realized that a true friend loves you even though that you hurt her or
