A Banana Tree is 90 % Water

During one of the lectures I’ve attended, we were told that a banana tree is 90% water. By the afternoon, we went out for the field demo. We were given chopping bolos and instructed to chop down banana stumps. Naisip ko “Ang dali nito. Yakang-yaka.” So I proceeded with the task.

Me: I-chop lang man kaya? Easy.

Pagchop ko, biglang may lumabas na tubig galing sa saging. Parang fountain.

Me: Wow. 90% water jud siya noh?

A few seconds after…

Me: Grabe ang tubig. Parang di siya nauubusan. Kuyawa nito uy.

Di man talaga nagstop ang tubig. So parang may hindi tama.

Me: OA na ang 90% ha.

Lumapit yung kasama ko and looked closely. Gi-move niya ang saging and guess what?

Kasama ko: Hoy, nachop mo na ang water pipe! Umaawas na.

Like Abba, napakanta ako ng Tragedy! Lol Buti na lang andun si Manong hardinero to save me. Madali lang palang ayusin. Thank God.
