The document is a reading challenge from a schools division office in Quezon City that tells a folk tale about a farmer, his cow, and carabao. It summarizes that the farmer decided to have the carabao work all day and the cow work all night to get more work from his farm. This tired out the animals, and one day the carabao convinced the cow to go swimming without the farmer's permission. Upon their return, they mistakenly switched skins, leading cows to have sagging skin and carabaos to have tight skin from that day on.
