     Bugtong anak sa magtiayong Daniel ug Lorna si Danilo nga nagpuyo sa Barangay Colase. Sukad mingtaliwan ang iyang ginikanan nag-inusara na siya nga nakigbisog sa kinabuhi. Panagat ang iyang panginabuhian. Tungod kay menos na ang mabingwit nga mga isda sa ilang dapit gumikan sa paggamit og dinamita sa ubang mga mananagat, miaadto si Danilo sa silingan nga isla aron adto managat.
