Year & Sec.: Fourth Year – St. Dominic Quarter: 4th Quarter
Book Report # 4
Title: Laarni
Author: Alberto S. Florentino
Source: Communication in English Third Edition
Situation: When our country was divided into barangays and ruled by datus, no one was fiercer and more powerful than Datu Maginoo was. He had an only daughter, Princess Laarni, who was known for her beauty. Men had asked for her hand in marriage, offering love, youth, land, and titles, but to no avail.
Then one warm day when she was bathing in a river, a man in a banca suddenly came. Alarmed, the princess warned the man and tried to call her slaves. But the man assured her that he means no harm and introduced himself. The man’s name is Maharlika. He is a freeman and speaks out his love to her.
Conflict: Laarni was called to the palace by her father because Li Ho Weng, a Chinese suitor, has come with his fleet of ships to ask for her hand for the fourth time. Laarni tells Maharlika of this. He then vows to come twice and take her for his bride.
Soon after, Maharlika comes to the palace and tells Datu Maginoo that Rajah Bayani, Maharlika’s datu, wants the hand of Princess Laarni for marriage. He and his datu both want the princess for their bride, but unfortunately for Maharlika, duty tells him to make known his true mission even at his own expense. Then a slave comes and tells the datu that Li Ho Weng is inviting the princess to have tea in his boat.
Princess Laarni went to Li Ho Weng’s boat and was enjoying beautiful display of goods. After some time, Laarni decides to leave but Li Ho Weng would not let her. Laarni warns her that her father’s warriors could come anytime but Li Ho Weng was prepared and had his ships loaded with guns and warriors. There was a commotion and two Chinese warriors came dragging a wet, struggling Maharlika. Li Ho Weng instructed a warrior to get a wire cage with a cobra. He orders him to thrust his hand into it. He does so and drops dead. Li Ho Weng said that Maharlika would die like that. Laarni begged to spare his life.
Turning Point: Maharlika frees himself quickly, pulls out the cobra and thrusts it into Li Ho Weng’s face who falls dead. The warriors surround Maharlika but his warriors clamber up the sides of the boat to disperse the enemy. The warriors flee in different directions.
Conclusion: Maharlika and his warriors defeated Li Ho Weng’s warriors and returned with princess Laarni to the palace. Datu Maginoo agrees that Maharlika should take the hand of the princess for marriage.
