A mountain stood tall in the distance. White clouds covered its peak. Anyone who ever stood at the peak of that mountain would feel like they were floating (manglayang) above the clouds. That
was why the local people called it Manglayang Mountain. Every people took care of the environment around Manglayang Mountain. They put a taboo on cutting the trees on and around the mountain. They only used fallen twigs and branches or dead trees to make firewood. The earth rewarded their good behavior with invaluable resources. Manglayang provided them with water sources that never dried out all year long.
