Why the sky is high hiligaynon version?

Answer 1

Because the atmosphere stretches more than 60 km above the earth's surface?

Jokes apart, the sky isn't high or low, it's just your sense of perception. Most of us usually consider the blue coloured fabric above the earth's surface as sky but actually sky starts as soon as the ground ends and stretches all the way till the end of the exosphere. If you are talking about the blue fabric (whick is the colour of the sky) it seems to be high due to the fact that much of light scatters in the atmosphere of earth higher than at an altitude of 5 km from the sea level hence to us it seems that sky is "high".

Answer 2

(Hiligaynon)

In the olden days the sky was so low-so low that it could be reached by a stick of ordinary length. The people in those days said that God had created the sky in such a way that he could hear his people when they called to him. In turn, God could send his blessings to earth as soon as men needed them. Because of this close connection between God and his subjects, the people were provided for, and they did not need to work.

Whenever they wanted to eat, they could simply call God. Before their request was made, almost, the food would be on the table; but after the expulsion of Adam and Eve, God made men work for their own living. With this change in their condition came the custom of holding feasts, when the men would rest from their labors.

One day one of the chiefs, Abing by name, held a feast. Many people came to enjoy it. A sayao, or native war-dance, was given in honor of the men belonging to the chief, and it was acted by men brandishing spears. While acting, one of the actors, who was drunk, tried to show his skill, but he forgot that the sky was so low. When he darted his spear, he happened to pierce the sky, and one of the gods was wounded. This angered God the Father: so he raised the sky as we have it today far from the earth.
