SITU BAGENDIT

                A Long time ago, there was a widow named Bagendit. She lived by herself. Her house was large and beautiful. Bagendit was a miser woman. Her wealth was plentiful but she never shared her wealth with other people in her village. She mocked everyone who came to her house for some help. And she always lent people money but with a high interest.

One day, an old man came to her house to get a pail of water. Bagendit came out from her house and hit the man with a pounder.

“I curse you, evil woman!” shouted the old man. “You are a ruthless woman!” said the old man sharply.

Suddenly, the well water gushed out and drowned Bagendit and her whole house. The village disappeared and nothing was left. There was only a wide and deep lake. People called it Situ Bagendit Lake.
