A Grateful Owl's Gift
Arnie Sijano, Seeta Dasani and Peter Downing looked forward to their next weekend at the Crawford farm created by Seeta’s father Ashok Dasani near the Philippine town of Cagayan de Oro. A bustling city in the southern Philippine island of Mindanao, the jungles around this quaint city are great to trek in and extremely fertile. The 2 acre Dasani farm was a paradise of sorts. Peter thought it was more of an animal sanctuary rather than a farm. Peter and his 14 year old friends were classmates in school and were inseparable. The townsfolk were used to this unusual trio of friends from three different countries and would smile to see them at supermarkets, parks and occasionally at the movies. This friendship brought the three families together and they often got together for relaxing weekends and holidays at the Dasani farm.
