| Remarks | A poem in the Cagayanon language written by retired teacher Javier C. Carceler gives the reason why the Humphead wrasse has a bump on its head: [ ... Daw ano kasagbak di danen en tanan, Nakabatyag tul-ungan kanen dumalagan, Ta iya na kakulba manunggol pasanggaan, Bumalikid kanen takong din may paryo apugan. ...]. The translation by Yasmin Arquiza and Ernesto Sta. Cruz (Ref. 11201) goes: { ... Everyone was happy and made a lot of noise, Even the humphead wrasse ran to join the fun, He crashed into a brain coral because of his haste, And that's how he got the bump on his head. ...}. |
