Another year passed, bringing another good crop, and for this reason the friars raised the rent to fifty pesos, which Tales paid in order not to quarrel and because he expected to sell his sugar at a good price. "Patience! Pretend that the cayman has grown some," old Selo consoled him. That year he at last saw his dream realized: to live in the barrio of Sagpang in a wooden house.
You take away my appetite relating the same old things. Do you know anything of Sagpang?" The old man then told him about the kidnapping of Cabesang Tales. Basilio became thoughtful and said nothing more his appetite had completely left him.
Pretend that those thirty pesos had been lost in gambling or had fallen into the water and been swallowed by a cayman." The harvest was abundant and sold well, so Tales planned to build a wooden house in the barrio of Sagpang, of the town of Tiani, which adjoined San Diego.
As if to improve his marksmanship, he shot at birds and fruits, even the butterflies, with such accurate aim that the friar-administrator did not dare to go to Sagpang without an escort of civil-guards, while the friar's hireling, who gazed from afar at the threatening figure of Tales wandering over the fields like a sentinel upon the walls, was terror stricken and refused to take the property away from him.
