Kulas explained that he only cared for the cocks for their own good. Celing didn’t believe anymore on Kulas reasons for he was always defeated by his opponent.

Kulas always believed on his dream and thought that those dreams had signs that he would win the fight.

Celing narrated all the dreams that Kulas told her but he didn’t win. She was already sick with Kulas’ reasons. He asked if he could give her money to spend for the cockfight. Kulas heard the shout of people from the cockfight and he was really eager to get the money. Celing had nothing to do but give him money and Kulas went the out the house hurriedly.

Teban commanded Celing to bet on Kulas’s opponent.

This is her way to get the money of Kulas spent in the sabong for Kulas was always a loser. Celing was right; Kulas went home defeated by his opponent. He promised never to bet again.
