There lived a girl- Iraya,who was born with a long hair filled with different colors. She is the only resident of their tribe to possess this kind of appearance. All her neighbors,the Datu,the Timawa,Uripons and even her family possess black hair.
Sehana grew up to be an independent person because her parents and siblings are always outside to hunt for their foods and woods. For such time,she was warned not to go outside because no one will look upon their house-her mother lied. Sehana has grown up obedient so she obeyed her mother.
While they were busy hunting and harvesting woods in the forest,she will just play her flute/will sing and look upon their attic's window to see the birds,stars and moon at night. She always feel good about looking at those things,for her,she could live all her life looking at these things.
Days have passed and her parents together with her siblings returned. They brought a feast-like harvest of crops and fruits,also 2 young hens. The family was so glad while having their dinner-the fruit of their labor.
Iraya grew up to be a very beautiful lady but still the same cycle has gone by. She was still left alone in their house with nothing else to do.
For the first time,she then decided to go outside.
While walking on the front door steps of their house,people were astounded to see such a gorgeous face. People have gathered into a circle to look closely to her;each of them adores her beauty.
She sang to them,play with the kids and before the sun sets,she went inside their house to prepare for the return of her family. She didn't even noticed that some strands of her hair have turned black.
"What a tiring day!" her father said.
"It rained in the forest and our mother got sick!" Asuko have exclaimed.
They ate their dinner and the evening passed.
"Mother is dead"
The whole family sobbed early in the morning.
