Passing by this banana grove the other day , I spotted 2 signs which made me grind to a halt
Loosely translated , it means
" Do not steal the banana leaves , god is watching "
ending the sentence with
" sakit hati " in which I think he / she is referring to the pain felt each time the leaf thief strikes .
I was actually grinning from ear to ear as I read it .
In this region , the leaves have multiple uses ......
We use them as plates , food liners and wrappers , even cook food and iron clothes with it .
However , nowadays the leaves have gotten a bit expensive .....which explains the sign .
To avoid hurting either the person or god's heart according to what the writer implied , just leaf them alone .....ok ?
