This legend is still current among the Tagalogs. It circulates in various forms, the commonest being that the king was so confined for defying the lightning; and it takes no great stretch of the imagination to fancy in this idea a reference to the firearms used by the Spanish conquerors. Tr. The reference is to Noli Me Tangere, in which Sinang appears.
Behind him came two servants, carrying the lásak and a white cock of colossal proportions. "Sinang tells me that Maria Clara is improving steadily," said Captain Basilio. "She no longer has any fever, but she is still weak." "Did you lose last night?" "A little. I heard that you won.... I am going to see if I can win back my money."
Of the persons who appeared in a few opened windows, those who showed the most compassion for the unfortunate young man were the indifferent and the curious. All his friends had hidden themselves; yes, even Captain Basilio, who forbade his daughter Sinang to weep.
Several young fellows were coming down the street, lighting their way with large bamboo torches. They were marching along almost noiselessly to the tune of a guitar. "That guitar sounds as though some beggar were playing it," said Sinang, laughing.
And turning to the young women and changing his tone, he said: "Excuse me; I have forgotten an appointment. I will return to accompany you home." "Stay!" said Sinang. "Yeyeng is going to dance in the 'La Calandria. She dances divinely." "I cannot, my little friend, but I will certainly return." The murmurs increased.
"What a finger Sulla had!" he observed finally. "This would fit two of ours as I've said, we're degenerating!" "I still have many other jewels " "If they're all that kind, never mind!" interrupted Sinang. "I think I prefer the modern."

"Yeyeng is going to dance La Calandria. She dances divinely." "I can't, little friend, but I'll be back." The uproar increased.
"Take one more grain," Sinang whispered, as she offered her a white tablet that she took from a small glass tube. "He says that when you feel a rumbling or buzzing in your ears you are to stop the medicine." "Hasn't he written to you again?" asked the sick girl in a low voice. "No, he must be very busy." "Hasn't he sent any message?"
Dawn had now come, so the lanterns were extinguished. "There's nothing to compare with salabat, drunk in the morning before going to mass," said Capitana Tika, mother of the merry Sinang. "Drink some salabat and eat a rice-cake, Albino, and you'll see that even you will want to pray." "That's what I'm doing," answered the youth addressed. "I'm thinking of confessing myself."
"We have agreed that the one who receives the best answer shall receive a gift from the others. We have all asked our questions already." "And who has received the best answer?" "Maria Clara, Maria Clara!" replied Sinang. "We made her ask the question whether you loved her or not: 'Is your lover faithful and constant, and the book replied "
