The riddle "Kinain ko ang isa, itinapon ko ang dalawa" translates to "I ate one, I threw away two." This is a traditional Filipino riddle where the goal is to guess what the statement is referring to.
In the case of clam (tulya), the explanation is as follows:
- Kinain ko ang isa (I ate one) - When you eat a clam, you consume the edible meat inside the shell.
- Itinapon ko ang dalawa (I threw away two) - After eating the clam meat, you are left with two shell halves, which you discard.
So, the "one" refers to the clam meat you eat, and the "two" refers to the two shell halves you throw away. This clever riddle plays on the fact that you are interacting with three parts in total: one edible part and two inedible parts.
