Aganhon

AGANHON, THE BEAUTIFUL: Why the Mango is shaped like a heart.

Beautiful and kind Aganhon was the daughter of Daegdog and Mabuot. Daegdog had an explosive temper while Mabuot, his wife was kind and understanding.

Many young men courted Aganhon, but her father chose Maeopig (May-o-pig), a man who seemed like a younger version of Daegdog. Maeopig celebrated his triumph over all the other suitors.

Meanwhile Aganhon wept in misery. She could not bear the thought of spending the rest of her life with a man she did not love. Aganhon made herself a prisoner in her own room from the day her father sealed her fate.

On the day of the wedding, Aganhon disappeared. They found her dead by the little spring that flowed in the back of their house. She died of a broken heart.

Daegdog cried and blamed himself for not listening to her daughter but it was too late. One night, Aganhon appeared in her father's dream. She said that she had forgiven him. She told him to go to the spring. There, he found a tree with thick, sturdy branches and within its many green leaves were hundreds of heart-shaped fruits. The fruits were as sweet as Aganhon's skin. Most of them were hard and green. But the softer, riper ones had turned golden yellow.

The townspeople came to call the fruit "mango," meaning heart- shaped. Parents who eat mangoes are reminded never to break their children's hearts.
