THE COW AND THE CARABAO

Long ago, a farmer had a carabao and a cow. The carabao was bigger but the cow
worked just as hard.
One day the farmer said, “I can get more from my farm if my carabao works all day
and my cow works all night.” This went on for a month 'til finally, the carabao cried, “It is
just too hot to work all day!” “Want to go for a swim?” asked the cow. “It will cool you off.”
The carabao happily agreed. They went off without the farmer’s consent.
Before swimming, they hung their skins on a tree branch. But it wasn’t long till the
farmer went looking for them. Upon seeing the farmer, they rushed to put on their skins. In
their rush, the carabao had worn the cow’s skin and the cow had worn the carabao’s skin.
From then on, cows have sagging skin while carabaos have tight skin.

LAUGHTER
People love to laugh. We love it so much when there are jokes, jobs, and shows that
are made to make us laugh. Even though laughing seems natural, not many species are able to
do so.
Laughing involves the performance of rhythmic, involuntary movements, and the
production of sounds. We are able to laugh using fifteen facial muscles, our respiratory
system, and sometimes even our tear ducts.
We are lucky that we are able to laugh because there is strong evidence that laughter
can help improve health. Laughter boosts the immune system and adds another layer of
protection from disease. Since laughter also increases blood flow, it improves the function of
blood vessels that helps protect the heart. Laughter also relaxes the whole body by relieving
tension and stress. Finally, laughter also brings out the body’s natural feel-good chemicals
that promote well-being.
