“The Great Pretender”

By The Platters
Oh-oh, yes I’m the great pretender
Pretending that I’m doing well
My need is such I Pretend too much
I’m lonely but no one can call

Adrift in a world of my own
I’ve played the game but to my real shame
You’ve left me to grieve all alone

Too real when I feel what my haert can’t conceal

Just laughin’ and gay like a crown
I seem to be what I’m not, you see
I’m wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you’re still around

How the Moon and the Stars Came to Be
Bukidnon (Mindanao)
One day in the times when the sky was close to the ground a spinster went
out to pound rice. Before she began her work, she took off the beads from around
her neck and the comb from her hair, and hung them on the sky. Which at the
time looked like coral rock.
Then she began working, and each time that sh raised her pestle into the
air, it struck the sky. For some time she pounded the rice. And then she raised the
pestle so hight that it struck the sky very hard.
Immediately the sky began to rise, and it went up so far that she lost her
ornaments, never did they come down, for the comb became the moon and the
beads are the stars that are scattered about.
