At the beginning of the world, a man named Ekon lived in Luzon. He likes
to build things. He thought it would be a very good idea to build a bridge to
the sky.
As he wanted the bridge to be strong and last a long time, he built it of
stone.He worked for years and years building the bridge. His wife and
children, nephews and nieces, uncles and aunts, all helped him. Though they
worked very hard, hey sky always seemed to be a long distance(距离) away.
When Ekon became an old man, his wife and children told him that he
would never finish it.
"If I can't finish it, " he aid , " my children's children will do so. "
But just before he died, his wife and children told him that they could not
find any more stones.
So Ekon became very angry and disappointed. Though he was very old
and weak, he pulled down the bridge. It came tumbling (倒下) with a great
roar ( 吼叫).
The stones made great heaps(堆) all over the country. These great heaps
of stones are what we now call mountains. Ekon was buried under one of
them himself.
