Suspicious watchmen meddle in pup's burial

CUDDLE. A woman, together with her two daughters, went to a vacant lot near her home cuddling something wrapped in swaddling pieces of cloth. There she lowered what she was carrying into a shallow hole.

GOODBYE. As they set it on fire, they began to sob like it was nobody's business at the same time bidding farewell to it.  "Good bye, Patricia, we love you," the woman said at the top of her voice. "We will miss you, Patty," a daughter wailed.

WATCHMEN. Unknown to them, the burial attracted village watchmen. "Unsa na? What's that? Fetus?" a tanod demanded, while two of his companions put out the fire. The ashes revealed a dead puppy.
