The story of "The Origin of Rice and Small Streams" is an Ibaloy tale from the Philippines.
Once upon a time, there were two kindhearted blind women who were very poor. In order to eat, they had to beg from their neighbors and sometimes they were driven away or given nothing. Despite their hardships, they did not complain and went on living each day as best as they could.
In the story, one of the women took some rice, sowed it, and when it was harvested, she gave it to the people. After that, they also planted it, and there was much rice. The other woman took a bottle of water, poured it out, and it became the origin of small streams.
This tale not only depicts the origin of rice and small streams but also gives insight into the resilience and kindness of the two blind women.
