nouns are formed:
father in law
editor in - chief
bookshop
court martial
a box for letters

worn on a rainy day
catches fish
gives a flashing light for emergencies
a game played with a basket or goal
fathers in law
editors in chief

cool the water looked! It would be good for his
tired feet. Juan waded in the brook. He saw
some green frogs on the stones. Rice cakes for
sale! Do you want to taste my rice cakes?
Ko-kak! Ko-kak! said the frogs.
Oh, you want to taste the rice cakes. Here
is one. Juan threw a rice cake to the frogs.

You want some more? It is only twenty
centavos each.
Juan threw one more rice cake to the frogs.

became angry.
I will go with you, Juan, she said. Let us

Get up now. Dont just sleep all day.
Help your mother do some work in the
house.
I do help you sometimes, Mother.
Then, get up and go to town. Sell these

would be nice to still stay in bed.
When Mother came back, she placed a
twisted towel on Juans head so that he
could carry a basket of rice cakes on his
head.
Now go and sell the rice cakes like
how good boys do. Be sure you are paid

Cheep, cheep! said the birds.
They are twenty centavos each, Juan

and ate it.
To whom? I do not see anybody, said

Mother.
There! said Juan. Here is my
mother. Give her the money. Pay her for
the rice cakes.

Mother.
You foolish boy! Did you give the rice
cake to the frogs?

hard as he tried he just couldnt reach any of
the grapes. Next, he concentrated on the lowest
bunch and exerted all his effort to reach it but
still he failed. Finally, he gave up and walked

HOW POPSICLES CAME ABOUT

One winter night in 1905, eleven-year
old Frank Epperson from San Francisco, made
a fruit drink. First, Frank mixed the drink with a
wooden stick and left it at the back porch all
night long.
Allyson saw flames coming from a big

warehouse in the neighborhood. Next, he
ran home to call the Calapan Fire
Department. Then the firemen arrived to
put out the fire. Finally, fire was
extinguished after a couple of hours.
The weather got very cold. Franks drink

turned to ice and the stick would not move. In
the morning, Frank pulled out the fruit ice, held
it, and tasted it. It was great!
1. What
happened
first?
_________________
2. What happened next?
________________
3. What happened after that? _________
4. What happened finally?
______________
Frank called his icy pop the Epperson

Icicle. Soon, he changed it to Ep-sicle.
The next summer, he made these pops at
home and sold the pops to his neighbors at five
cents each.
In 1923, Frank turned 29 ad started a
business of making and selling ice pops. His
children called them pops sicle and later
changed to Popsicle by Frank. He made 7
kinds of popsicles. There are now 30 kinds and
orange is the best seller.
7. GENERALIZATION:
How do we arrange events in a
story?
REMEMBER:
Sequencing is arranging events in

order. In a story, things happen in a certain
order so that it makes sense. Understanding the
order helps you understand the story. To point
out how events are connected in time,
SEQUENCE CLUE WORDS are used.
1. What happened one winter night in 1905?

A. Frank started a business.
B. Frank mixed a drink, left it at the
back porch all night long.
C. Frank sold the drink to his neighbors.

1. Have the pupils listen to the story.
The Parable of the Hostage

The eight-year old son of the farmer
dreamt of a small bicycle almost every
night. In school, he fantasized riding the
toy to and from the school. This started a
year earlier when he first saw a blue
bicycle in the general store of the town
shopping center. Since then, he would do
anything to join his father marketing their
fruits and vegetables in town. For the little
boy, getting a glimpse of the bicycle in the
store made his day wonderful.
The boy went to the side table and got

the image of the Virgin Mary. He wrapped it in
an old newspaper and tied it with string.
Carefully, he placed the bundle in an empty
shoe box and covered it properly. As double
precaution, he tied the box with another piece of
string.
Then he went to the rice bin (bigasan)
which was a small barrel with a wooden cover.
With his right hand, he dug out the husked rice
(bigas) and put it in the shoe box. He covered
the box with rice, forming a mound.
But the family finances did not

allow such an expensive luxury. The
familys priorities were school fees,
clothes, food and medical costs. A bicycle
was not even in the list.
His only recourse was to pray for a
bicycle. Above the bed of his mother was a
framed picture of Jesus Christ. It rested on
a shelf with a vase maintained with fresh
flowers everyday. On a side table was the
image of the Virgin Mary about eight
inches tall, dressed in white, complete with
blue sash.
Then the boy returned to the bedroom

and talked to Jesus Christ. now, if you want to
see your mother again, you have to send me the
blue bicycle. Meanwhile, I am holding her
hostage.
Juan M. Flavier
CT. CRTICAL THINKING

What did the boy in order to take
his wish?
The little boy prayed alternately to

Jesus above the bed and the mother of
Jesus on the side table. The plea was the
same. Please send me the blue bicycle
from the general store in town. I will do
anything if you give me the toy.
Since Christmas was coming, the
young lad used the occasion as leverage.
Christmas will soon be here. Please
consider a gift for me. There is only one toy
I want in the world. Nothing less matters
me. All I want this Christmas is the blue
bicycle.

4. Motive Question:
Have the pupils organize
their own questions.
Let them take down notes about the
story they are going to listen.
His mother prepared his lunch box and

brought him to school. When his Uncle
Ramon was sick, it was his mother who took
care of Bobby and his little brother.
THE MAGIC
Weeks went by. At last, Uncle Ramon
came home. His laughter could be heard
now from his room. Bobby felt good and
inspired to study well.
Most of the time, Uncle Ramon sat in his
chair and read books. He was so quiet and
just stared at Bobby.
Bobby remembered how it used to be.
They used to have fun together. Those were
the days when they stayed in a flat near the
supermarket. Ill make Uncle Ramon
happy, Bobby said to himself.
Mama, wheres Uncle Ramon?

Bobby asked his mom right after he
woke up, one morning.
Son, your uncle is sick. He needs
to rest in the hospital. He has been
confined for observation of his heart
ailment. But his doctor said hes all
right now, explained Mama Rosa.
Uncle Ramon and Mama Rosa are
brother and sister. Uncle Ramon has
been quite sickly even in his younger
days. He was not allowed to do
strenuous jobs. When Bobby was still a
year old, Mama Rosa took Uncle
Ramon to look after her son because
she worked full time in their
supermarket.
Bobby rummaged in his closet. He got a

small white box, opened it then whispered,
Abracadabra, ssh! Boom! Make some
magic for Uncle Ramon and me!
Booby ran to his Uncle Ramon. Looked
here, Uncle, he said and waved something
around.
Now that Bobby is nine years old,

he still clings to his uncle who loved his
antics so much. The two have
something in common. They love magic.
Uncle Ramon had an invisible magic
wand. He kept it in along blue box tied
with a red ribbon. No one knew about it
except Uncle Ramon and Bobby. It was
their secret.
Whats that? Uncle Ramon asked.

Its an invisible magic wand. I
rearranged my closet and I got this box. Just
like the one that we had before, only
smaller! said Bobby.
He waved it again and touched Uncle
Ramons chin. He made faces and tried to
wiggle his nose.
Uncle Ramon laughed.
Oh, I made you laugh again, Uncle
Ramon. Youre okay now. Youre well! Lets
play and have fun together!
Yes, Bobby. I forgot about our magic.
Its good you brought it back! said Uncle
Ramon laughing.
Did Uncle Ramon bring our magic

box, Mama? asked Bobby.
What box, Bobby? replied Mama
Rosa.
Oh, you dont know about it,
Mama. I guess, Ill have to wait for
Uncle Ramon to come home so we can
have our magic tricks, whispered
Bobby to his mother.
Its a new one, Uncle. Ill tie one

tonight with a string so it wont get away.
Well, you better wait because next

week, hell be out in the hospital. Hes
Good, do it now, Bobby! asked Uncle

Ramon, as he took some pills.

1. Have the pupils listen to the story. Let
them take down notes about the story
they are going to listen.
III. PROCEDURE:
pupils read the tongue twister given:
Gombay and the Wild Duck

Once there lived a hunter named Gombay.
There was a pond near his house where wild
ducks came to play. He had been getting one for
each day as his father had before him. But one
day he thought, If I can catch a hundred wild
ducks in a day, I can be as lazy as I want for
ninety-nine days. It seemed like a very good
plan.
What does Watt-watt White want?

Watt-watt White wants a pair of
white pants.
A pair of white pants is what Wattwatt White wants.
2. Motivation:
Have you ever heard of the story
about the man who was allowed to own
as much land as he could and in the end
got just enough to bury him six feet
under the ground?
What does that say about wanting
more than you need?
Immediately he set the snare of a hundred

loops made with one rope. Then he hid himself
behind a tree. It was just before dawn, and he
could count ninety-nine ducks in the loops. He
waited for one more duck. Finally, the sun
began to show bright on his face. Then the birds
were surprised to know they were in a trap, and
flew up all together at once.
Gombay, holding the end of the rope went
high up in the sky, too. Help, help! he cried
from the sky, but nobody could hear. Alas, the
rope snapped suddenly, and he went down.
Soon, he realized he had become a wild duck as
he was falling down. Yes, he was flying now as
freely as he wanted. It was like a dream for
Gombay, but he had to live as a wild duck,
anyway. He felt hungry, so he flew down near a
pond. He found a small fish swimming in the
pond. He was going to catch it for a tasty meal,
but he was caught with a snare like the one that
he had used.
A word can have more than one
meaning. Have the pupils decide which
meaning of duck is used in the following
sentences.
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
a swimming bird
to dive or dip the head
to avoid or evade
cotton fabric
someone who is considered
attractive or a darling
f. someone who cannot act efficiently
because of disablement
g. someone
with
peculiar
characteristics.
Gombay became sorrowful and said to

himself, What a pity when even one duck is
caught! And I tried to get a hundred ducks at a
time. It is indeed the punishment of God. He
shed tears, and they dropped on the rope. Then
it snapped. What a miracle! Gombay was so
glad that he shed tears again for his great joy.
This time the tears flowed down and got his
clothes wet. What a miracle again! He became
Gombay as he was. Since then, he stopped

baste best
sail sell
/a/
fate fat
hate hat
main man
eight at
/a/
paint pant

PANDORAS BOX
1. Vira, the stepdaughter of Dona

Mary, was washing the clothes one
morning. Another pile of soiled
clothes was given to her and when
she was about to complain, Dona
Mary hit her with her cane.
___________________________
When man had been made, Jupiter

decided that he would make woman, and send
her down to earth. He called on all the gods and
goddesses to help him, and they did.
Venus gave her beauty. Apollo gave her
the gift of music. Minerva gave her wisdom and
skill in spinning and weaving. The mischievous
Mercury stirred in for spice a few very human
failings, curiosity among them.
When she was finished, she was lovely.
Quite proud of their handiwork, the gods named
her Pandora which means the gift of all the
gods and Jupiter put into her hands a chest
of ivory, quite small but intricately carved, with
an odd golden clasp. He cautioned her to keep it
by her always, but never to open it. Then, he
sent her down to earth and presented her to
Epimetheus.

Cabrals class was thinking of

4. Miss Castro asked the children to
research in the library. After an
hour, the bell rang. The children,
except for Arleen, gave the books to
the librarian and went away. Arlene
cleaned the mess that her classmates
left. She pushed the chairs back and
picked all the pieces of papers
scattered around. She returned the
books she borrowed and left the
library
quietly.
_________________________
And she made Epimetheus a very good

wife. She was a good cook; she kept the house
tidy; she wove a beautiful cloth; and she obeyed
her husbands wishes in everything. In spite of
herself, however, she found her thought turning
too often to that ivory box she had brought with
her. Finally, there came a time when it seemed
to her that she and the box could not possibly be
in the same house any longer unless she knew
what was in it. So she took the little golden key
that hung from it by a silken cord, and turned it
in the lock. The she lifted the lid just a little,
just for a glimpse.
5. All the members of the family were

there. Tears kept falling from their
eyes. Their sick father, almost
dying, was giving his last will.
________________
Alas, poor Pandora! In an instant, the

room was filled with tiny ugly winged creatures,
buzzing around the walls and streaming through
the windows. What had she done? In a panic,
she shut the lid again, but it was too late. For in
that box had been all the evil things the world
had not known before Meanness and Greed,
Cruelty and Pain, and a million others and as
soon as the lid was lifted, out they flew. They
have been flying about ever since, causing all
sorts of grief and misery. What a pity she ever
let them loose!

so that her ant colony could have enough to eat

during the difficult months ahead.
She had collected quite a bit already.
Now she was on the lookout for bits of sweet
foods that younger members of her colony loved
to eat after their meal. Going to and fro between
trees and shrubs, Bina suddenly smelt the sweet
aroma of pastry. She quickly went around the
bush and there she saw it a large bit of pastry
with a whole raisin in it. Just then she looked up
and saw something hanging from the leaf of a
bush. Looking closer, she saw that it was a tiny
tail. It seemed to be all wrapped up in
something, as if bandaged.

III. PROCEDURE:

Have the pupils recite the given
tongue twister:
Should she sell sheers sheets or
should she sell shaggy shawls?
Oh, you poor thing! What a sad fate

you have Sundri! I can run anywhere I wish,
climb trees, or go over mountains. And look at
you, you are trapped in your shell. All you can
do is move your tail around a bit. Even ant
children can run around and do as much as we
can. They are free. You are all bound up and
cannot even move. What a life you must have!

b. pupa
c. look
d. misleading
e. tied up
f. rushing
A few days later, Bina came that way

again hoping to find more pastry or biscuit lying
around.
It was unusually hot that day and she
was sweating. Suddenly, a cloud seemed to
come over and she felt a soft cool breeze. She
looked up. Wow! One of the most beautiful
butterflies she had ever laid eyes on! Light blue
spotted with light pink and yellow dots.
4. Motive Question:
What had become Sundri?
1. Have the pupils listen to the
important details of the story.
2. Use the Direct Reading

And with a graceful flap of her wings,

Sundri, the butterfly flew away like a soft sigh of
the breeze.
One day, Bina, the ant, was

scurrying about in search of food. Summer
was almost over and the rain was
approaching. Soon it would be raining and
food would be difficult to find. Bina knew it
was necessary to stock as much as possible

She lived in a humble nipa hut with a

beautiful garden where different flowers like
santan, gumamela, sampaguita and rosal could
be found. Gabi took care of her plants and
flowers by watering them morning and
afternoon. She also removed the dry leaves and
flowers and trimmed the branches whenever
they had grown too long.

III. PROCEDURE:
Beside Gabis garden was a swiftly

flowing river. Its banks were lined by great

before her and introduced himself. He told
her of his desire to love Gabi as his wife

Gabi was afraid, closed her eyes

and opened them again. The river spirit
had become invisible again, so she thought
it was just a dream.

The year passed. Gabi had

forgotten about the river spirit. She was too
happy taking care of her garden. When
summer came, the Engkanto appeared to
her once more. She still refused to marry
him and said, I am very sorry but I cannot
go with you. I do not love you! The
Engkanto was so angry that he turned her
into a gabi plant so that no one else could
have her. He said, Because your heart is
hard and stubborn, I will deny you the
blessings of my river and your leaves will
never get wet. He told Gabi that she will
forever remain a plant unless her heart

THE FOX IN THE WELL
A fox once fell into the well. He tried

to jump out but each time he did, he fell back
down.
By and by a goat passed by. Looking
into the well, he saw the fox. Hello, he
called. What are you doing down there?
Drinking some water, of course!
replied the fox. Is it good? asked the goat.
Good? Its the best water I ever tasted
in my whole life, answered the fox, drinking a
gulp of water.
Without a second thought, the goat
jumped in. After drinking some water, he
looked about for a way to get out of the well.
How do we get out of here? he asked the fox.
I know what we can do, said the fox,
looking at the goat from the corner of his eye.
Stand on your hind legs. Plant your forelegs
firmly against the side of the well. Ill climb on
your back, and Ill step on your horns. Then I
can get out. When Im out, Ill help you get out,
too.
Thats a good idea! said the goat
happily as he did what the fox told him to do.
The fox climbed on the goats back
and horns. Then he jumped out of the well and
started on his way.
Hey! shouted the goat. Help me out
of here. You promise to help me.

How Butterflies Came to Be

There once lived an old woman who
tended a fine flower garden by the shore of a
lake. The fisher folk who lived in a nearby
village loved her dearly, and would often visit
her to exchange their fish for lovely flowers.

They somehow knew there was
something magical about her, for her house
seemed mysteriously bright at night (no, she
didnt have any electrivit7y), and some even saw
a few dwarfs assisting what appeared to be a
beautiful young womanbut only at night,
never during the day.
III. Procedure:
GLR: Genuine Love for Reading

the pupils recite the following verse
drill.
One time, a young couple visited the

village. They were proud and hated anything
ugly.
Paul the southpaw had a bad fall,/

He landed at the orthopedic hall.//
One night/ Paul got a haunting call/
From a sorceress who was very tall.//
They chanced upon the old womans

flower garden at the edge of the lake, and
entered it to gather some bouquets. The old
woman asked them to leave, but instead of
obeying, the young man and woman made fun of
her because they found her ugly.
When the doctor called the roll,/

Paul was nowhere in the orthopedic hall./
He had left to follow the haunting call./
Of the sorceress who was very tall.//
2. Motivation:
Think of a prominent person. How
does this person earn respect?
To punish them, the old woman touched

them with a cane and said that since they like
only beautiful things, they will be turned into the
most beautiful insects.
So the next time you see tow lovely
butterflies hovering near some flowers, youll
remember that haughty young couple.

Can you leap over me? finally he
asked. If you can do that, Ill give you a

day.
Yes, I can, said the kangaroo. Ill
show you, he added. But before the
kangaroo could leap over the elephant, the
elephant had stood up to its tall height.
The kangaroo thought the elephant was
clever. It thought and thought. It didnt want
to scrub the sides of the elephant. At last, an
idea came to the kangaroo.
On one condition! it shouted.
What condition? the elephant asked.
That you will close your eyes while I
jump! the kangaroo explained.
All right. I agree, answered the
elephant.
As the elephant closed its eyes, the
kangaroo hurriedly walked behind the
elephant to go to the other side.
That is the reason why the kangaroo in

The EDSA Revolution
The four days of February 22 to
25, 1986, known in the Philippines as the
EDSA Revolution, is a Filipino version of a
peaceful and non-violent popular uprising.
It was the victory of the national purpose
and conservative values of the nation. It
was the outpouring of love, anger and
courage which brought the people into
streets against the power of a dictator and
the fear of a communist takeover.
Do not let go! another one

commanded, as they held on tightly locked arm
in arm.
Holding a rosary, a nun suddenly
stepped forward and sweetly offered a
sampaguita garland to a soldier. Emboldened,
a lady offered a second soldier some
sandwiches and cigarettes. Then the crowd
offered the armed soldiers in the tank pieces of
fried chicken, soft drinks, other food and
cigarettes which the tired and hungry soldiers
could not resist.
While the world watched, their

eyes glued to their television sets, the
Epifanio de los Santos Avenue or EDSA for
short, became one stage for a drama: Cory
Aquino as the heroine, Ferdinand Marcos
as the villain and the rebel military leaders
in the persons of Fidel Ramos, Juan Ponce
Enrile and Gregorio Honasan as sudden
heroes. Within hours of the announcement
of Enrile and Ramos break up with
Marcos in a press conference, the streets
outside of the rebel headquarters became
filled with people.
Join us, the people told the soldiers, let

us not kill one other. We are all Filipinos and
brothers. The soldiers went down and
abandoned the tanks and joined the crowd to the
great joy and applause of the people.
At last, Malacaang fell. All the people
stormed its gates and rushed through the rooms
of the palace.
Men,
women
and
children
descended into EDSA from all directions
bringing with them provisions such as fried
chicken, spaghetti, sandwiches and soft
drinks, not to take part in a revolution, but
in a family picnic. They came with their
radios and cassettes while the women
brought their umbrellas and camped on the
concrete highway with their families and
friends. Cars and vehicles were parked in
the middle of the streets.
Soon the people saw military tanks
manned by heavily armed soldiers rolling
towards them. Suddenly everyone ran in the
People Power had won over the

dictators rule. A long night had ended. It was
the break of a new dawn. The Filipino people
had shown to the world that a non-violent
struggle for freedom can be won through the
unity and prayers of a people determined to live
the way of peace, justice and freedom.
