IMAGINE THE WORLD WITHOUT LIGHTS

If the world has no light, we certainly sleep when we see the sunset. I lived in the mountain before that is surrounded by the hills making it impossible to have an electricity. If moon shines brighter, we will go out to play tumbang preso. Studying in the night was rare to happen, so we always sought ways to study during the day. If there was a celebration that extended in the night, people used gas then put it inside the bottle, roll the pieces of cut boxes tightly, inversioning the bottle so that the cartoon paper sips the gas. Then it shines through the dark but its smoke causes mess and dark spots on the wall and ceiling.

Since we had a wooden house, we used a small lamp for our safety.
