History

A very rich couple lived in a beautiful house surrounded by an extensive fruit orchard and flower garden. They had and could have anything that money could buy. However, despite the rich comfort and convenience of life that they had been heir to, the couple were still a lonely one. They were childless.

They had prayed continuingly that if they would be favored with a child, they could do anything thay they might be asked to do. After twenty years of married life, their prayed was answered.

A fair lady showed up to inform them that their prayer would be granted provided, however, that the baby to be born should not be allowed to set foot on mother earth; otherwise, something terrible would befall the family.

A daughter was born to the rejoicing couple , and the girl grew up to be a beautiful woman. All these years she had never set foot on mother earth. The came an ardent suitor at the time when the girl was sewing. The young man invited her to come down the house and promenade with him about the green orchard, but the girl demurred.

Suddenly the young man grabbed the ball of thread and threw it out of the window, and would not listen to the pleadings of the girl to retrive the ball for she could not get it herself. Angrily, the girl forgot her parent’s instructions and got out of the house to get back her ball of thread. She had hardly stepped on mother earth when a terrible noise followed by the cracking grumble of the earth and the heavy downpour eventually converted the huge orchard into a twin lagunes separated from each other by a bare strip of land.

Learning about the sorry fate of the two lovers, the people of the nearby villages named one lagune after the girl who was Pandin, and the other the boy’s Yambo.
