Tay Roding, La Narsie

Apol Cleope loves to tell of an incident involving Tay Roding and La' Narsie. Tay Roding was then the Chief of Police of Balete and La' Narsie ran a store somewhere in Ilawod along the unpaved National Road. Tay Roding and a batch of friends were early into a carousing session and the remaining bottles were drying up. Considering the animated discussion vis-a-vis the empty pocket, he sent an errand to the store owner with a note:

Dear Nay Narsie:

Piyari ay it sang ka kaha nga beer ro gadaea it sueat ngara. Impas man ron kon hibayran.

Sa guihapon,

Roding
