My friends and I decided to go to a waterfall to cool off one hot day. We hiked through river after river until we reached the falls. After we bathed we decided to go home. We were walking when we saw a nice spot in the river, to which we got tempted to jump back in. I decided to shout, "Beowulf!" when suddenly a group of villagers walked past us. I got startled, so I jumped into the waters, hitting my ass on the nearby rocks. I heard a kid who passed by say, "Ha, ha, ang laki ng buli ni kuya!" I was so embarrassed by what happened. Those villagers sure got a story.
