Moyang Dapur

It was a stormy night when a family resting at an old house came face to face with a moyang. It emerged from an old dapur or stove that had overturned. This moyang had enormous teeth, eyes a long tongue and long nails. The father captured her by twirling her hair around his arm. After one whole night, he released her. That night he slept, and she came into his dream. The moyang praised him for his bravery and left a gentle reminder to light a fire on stormy nights, even as small as a torch. So, he carved a mask to remember her as Moyang Dapur.
