1 Noli Me Tangere

Nag-anyaya ng̃ pagpapacain nang isáng hapunan, ng̃ magtátapos ang Octubre, si Guinoong Santiago de los Santos, na lalong nakikilala ng̃ bayan sa pamagát na Capitang Tiago, anyayang bagá man niyón lamang hapong iyón canyang inihayág, laban sa dati niyang caugalìan, gayón ma'y siyang dahil na ng̃ lahát ng̃ mg̃a usap-usapan sa Binundóc, sa iba't ibang mg̃a nayon at hanggang sa loob ng̃ Maynílà. Ng̃ panahóng yao'y lumalagay si Capitang Tiagong isáng lalaking siyang lalong maguilas, at talastas ng̃ ang canyang bahay at ang canyang kinamulatang bayan ay hindî nagsásara ng̃ pintô canino man, liban na lamang sa mg̃a calacal ó sa anó mang isip na bago ó pang̃ahás.

Cawang̃is ng̃ kisláp ng̃ lintíc ang cadalîan ng̃ pagcalaganap ng̃ balítà sa daigdigan ng̃ mg̃a dápò, mg̃a lang̃aw ó mg̃a "colado"[5], na kinapal ng̃ Dios sa canyang waláng hanggang cabaitan, at canyang pinararami ng̃ boong pag-irog sa Maynílà. Nang̃agsihanap ang ibá nang "betún" sa caniláng zapatos, mg̃a botón at corbata naman ang ibá, ng̃uni't siláng lahát ay nang̃ag iisip cung paano cayâ ang mabuting paraang bating lalong waláng cakimìang gagawin sa may bahay, upang papaniwalàin ang macacakitang sila'y malalaon ng̃ caibigan, ó cung magcatao'y huming̃í pang tawad na hindî nacadalóng maaga.

Guinawâ ang anyaya sa paghapong itó sa isáng bahay sa daang Anloague, at yamang hindî namin natatandâan ang canyang bilang (número), aming sásayPáhiná 6sayin ang canyang anyô upang makilala ng̃ayón, sacali't hindî pa iguiniguibá ng̃ mg̃a lindól. Hindî camí naniniwalang ipinaguibâ ang bahay na iyon ng̃ may-arì, sa pagca't sa ganitong gawa'y ang namamahala'y ang Dios ó ang Naturaleza[6], na tumanggap din sa ating Gobierno ng̃ pakikipagcayarì upang gawín ang maraming bagay.—Ang bahay na iyo'y may calakhan din, tulad sa maraming nakikita sa mg̃a lupaíng itó; natatayô sa pampang ng̃ ilog na sang̃á ng̃ ilog Pasig, na cung tawaguin ng̃ iba'y "ría" (ilat) ng̃ Binundóc, at gumáganap, na gaya rin ng̃ lahát ng̃ ilog sa Maynílà, ng̃ maraming capacan-ang pagcapaliguan, agusán ng̃ dumí, labahan, pinang̃ing̃isdâan, daanan ng̃ bangcang nagdádala ng̃ sarisaring bagay, at cung magcabihirà pa'y cucunán ng̃ tubig na inumín, cung minamagalíng ng̃ tagaiguib na insíc[7] . It should be obvious from the much-needed equipment of the village the amount of people and people who travel here and there to find it, at a distance of about a thousand meters, a wooden bridge has only partially been built, which is broken in six bows. the cabilán side and the cabilâ are impassable for the rest of the year, what with the horses, as it is summer, they take advantage of such an unchanging form, to jump into the water from there, which is surprising of an amused person with a dead body inside the coche is sleeping or talking about the changes of time.

The house we're talking about has a roof, and it's not really a good house; cung the "arquitectong" didn't look closely[8] It is said that this thing will be done by earthquakes and storms, but no one can say for sure. A wide staircase with cacapitáng culay verde, and alfombra is placed on the small sidePage 7the passage from the basement or macapasoc of the door where the "azulejos" are laid[9] all the way to the house, whose path was hit with machetes[10] and take care of the bulaclac placed on the "pedestal"[11] which is made in China, with various colors and designs that cannot be copied.

Since there is no doorkeeper or servant to ask or ask for a "billete" or letter of invitation, let's take a break, ¡oh icaw who reads to me, catoto ó cairaway! so they are attracted by the sound of the orchestra, the lights or the literal "clin-clan" of the levers and cutlery[12] and you want to see how the pigeons are at Perla ng Casilanganan. With only my friend and my own comfort, I will not waste time in describing the situation of the house; but this is very important, since the custom for those who have died like us is like that of a turtle: we are valued and appointed according to our talucab or the house we live in; because of this and other forms of behavior, those who die in the Philippines are the ones who die in the Philippines.[13] , don't want why, that this night is used as "comedor"[14] and then the orchestra hall. In the center there was a long table, decorated with many important whites, which seemed to be winking at the "colado," with a catamistam and a pair of glasses, and warned the young lady, the unconscious girl, of two impatient hours in the the company of strangers, whose speech and pleas are usually very different. From these ready-to-use worlds, the wall-mounted pictures of religion, such as "Purgatorio," "Infierno," "The Last Judgment," "The Death of the Holy One," "The death of the sinner," and in the midst of it he is lostPage 8a majestic and beautiful "marco" in the form of "Renaissance"[15]
