This the story of Tita and Nita, and why mangos are either sweet or sour. Tita is a demanding girl, while her sister Nita is diplomatic and kind. This tale is from Pangasinan.
I wrote the story to give the girls a bit more complexity as to why they have such different personalities! When I read that their parents pass away in the story, I dorkily thought of Frozen. Seems impactful to their individual personalities if these two girls lost their parents, and why each one views the world differently.
