In this chapter, the author tells the reader that he has written two stories, one of which is an original story and the other is a story that his grandparents and elders have told him over the years. He hopes that the stories will continue his grandparents legacy of storytelling and that the reader will have a good sleep after reading the stories. The first story is a collection of short stories, while the second is a longer story. The author explains that he took some liberties in writing the stories, but that he hopes that they will continue the tradition of storytelling that his family has been telling him for generations. He also explains that the characters in the stories also appear in other parts of the novel, such as carnal parts. The narrator is sorry that he did not think that he would fall with one gentle push. He says that he is a big fat cheater and that he does not mean he is cheating. He asks the reader to stop being a wheeze baby and to stop fighting with him. He tells the story of the lambanog that he made for his birthday and asks if anyone knows what the lord did after he rested the day before. He then asks if the reader knows that the bible does not say anything about the creation of heaven and earth. The reader says that the Bible does say that the heavens and earth were created and that God rested, but he thinks that God did nothing. He adds that God knew that there were still things to be done
