This is Kabunian.
Some Filipinos long
time ago called their
God Kabunian.”

Why do you think he

is called God by the
Filipino before?
 Black, White , Brown
By Nemah N. Hermosa
(Adapted froma Philippine Folktale)

Once upon a time, there were no people. There was only the earth and the God
Kabunian. He said, “The earth is a beautiful place. But who will take care of it? I will
make people.”
In the afternoon, Kabunian got some clay. He worked for a long time. When he
finished making a man, it was night. The color of the night became the color of the
man. “He is too dark,” Kabunian said.
The next morning, Kabunian woke up before sunrise. He got some clay. He made
a man. When the sun came up, Kabunian saw the man. “He is too white,” Kabunian
said.
So Kabunian got more clay. He made another man. It was noon. The hot sun
made the man brown. “I like this brown man,” said Kabunian.
Kabunian sent the men to different parts of the Earth. That is why there are
black people and white people. That is why Filipinos are brown.

 The Grouchy Ladybug
Eric Carle

It was night and some fireflies danced around the moon.

At five o’clock in the morning, the sun came up. A friendly ladybug flew
in from the left. It saw a leaf with many aphids on it, and decided to have
them for breakfast. But just then a grouchy ladybug flew in from the right.
It, too, saw the aphids and wanted them for breakfast.

“Good morning,” said the friendly ladybug.

“Go away!” shouted the grouchy ladybug. “I want those aphids.”

“Go away!” shouted the grouchy ladybug. “I want those aphids.”

 “We can share them,” suggested the friendly ladybug.

“No. They’re mine, all mine,” screamed the grouchy ladybug. “Or do you
want to fight me for them?”

“If you insist,” answered the friendly ladybug sweetly. It looked at the
other bug straight in the eye. The grouchy ladybug stepped back. It looked
less sure of itself.

“Oh, you’re not big enough for me to fight,” it said.

“Then why don’t you pick on somebody bigger?”

“I’ll do that!” screeched the grouchy ladybug.

 “I’ll show you!” It puffed itself up and flew off.

At six o’clock, it met a yellow jacket. “Hey you,” said the grouchy ladybug.
“Want to fight?”

“If you insist,” said the yellow jacket, showing its stinger.

“Oh, you’re not big enough,” said the grouchy ladybug and flew off.
At seven o’clock, it met a stag beetle. “Hey you,” said the grouchy ladybug.
“Want to fight?”

“If you insist,” said the stag beetle,” opening its jaws.

“Oh, you’re not big enough,” said the grouchy ladybug and flew off.
 At eight o’clock, it came across a praying mantis. “Hey you,” said the
grouchy ladybug. “Want to fight?”
“If you insist,” said the praying mantis reaching out with its front legs.
“Oh, you’re not big enough,” said the grouchy ladybug and flew off.
At nine o’clock, it almost flew into a sparrow. “Hey you,” said the grouchy
lady bug. “Want to fight?”
“If you insist,” said the sparrow opening its sharp beak.

“Oh, you’re not big enough,” said the grouchy ladybug and flew off.
At ten o’clock, it saw a lobster. “Hey you,” said the grouchy ladybug.
“Want to fight?”
 “If you insist,” said the lobster stretching its claws.
“Oh, you’re not big enough,” said the grouchy ladybug and flew
off.
At eleven o’clock, it bumped into a skunk. “Hey you,” said the
grouchy ladybug. “Want to fight?”
“If you insist.” said the skunk, starting to lift its tail. “Oh, you’re
not big enough,” said the grouchy ladybug and flew off.

At twelve noon, it spotted a boa constrictor. “Hey you,” said the

grouchy lady bug. “Want to fight?”
 “If you insis-s-s-t,” said the snake, “right after lunch.” “Oh, you’re not big
enough,” said the grouchy ladybug and flew off.

At one o’clock, it happened upon a hyena. “Hey you,” said the grouchy
ladybug. “Want to fight?”

“If you insist,” said the hyena, laughing and showing its teeth.

“Oh you’re not big enough,” said the grouchy ladybug and flew off.
At two o’clock, it met a gorilla. “Hey you,” said the grouchy ladybug. “Want
to fight?”

“If you insist,” said the gorilla beating its chest.

“Oh you’re not big enough,” said the grouchy ladybug and flew off.
 At five o’clock, it met a whale. “Hey you,” said the grouchy ladybug.
“Want to fight?” But the whale did not answer at all. “You’re not big enough
anyway,” said the grouchy ladybug and flew off.

At five fifteen, the grouchy ladybug said to one of the whale’s flippers,
“Hey you, want to fight?” But it got no answer. So it flew away.

At five thirty the grouchy ladybug said to the whale’s fin, “Hey you, want
to fight?” But got no answer so it flew away.

At a quarter to six the grouchy ladybug said to the whale’s tail, “Hey you,
want to fight?” And the whale’s tail gave the grouchy ladybug such a SLAP…
that it flew across the sea and across the land.
 At six o’clock, the grouchy ladybug arrived right back where it had
started from.

“Ah, here you are again,” said the friendly ladybug. “You must be hungry.
There are some aphids left. You can have them for dinner.”

“Oh, thank you,” said the wet, tired, and hungry ladybug.

Soon all the aphids were gone. “Thank you,” said the leaf.

“You are welcome,” answered both ladybugs, and they went to sleep.

The fireflies, who had been sleeping all day, came out to dance around
the moon.
 At three o’clock, it ran into a rhinoceros. “Hey you,” said the grouchy lady
bug. “Want to fight?”

“If you insist,” said the rhinoceros lowering its horn.

“Oh you’re not big enough,” said the grouchy ladybug and and flew off.

At four o’clock, it encountered an elephant. “Hey you,” said the grouchy

ladybug. “Want to fight?”

“If you insist,” said the elephant, raising its big tusks.

“Oh, you’re not big enough,” said the grouchy ladybug and flew off.

 Busy as a Bee

Has anyone ever said that you were as “busy as a bee” Did you wonder why he
said that? Here’s why.
Most kinds of bees live alone, but a few, like honeybees live together in groups.
There classes of honeybees: The queen, drones, and workers. All three are
needed for the hive (the bees’ house) to run well. Each hive can have only one
queen.
Drones don’t seem to do any work! But they are needed to fertilize the eggs laid
by the queen.
The worker bees, using their wonderful eyesight and super sensitive antennae,
find flowers with sweet nectar. Pollen and nectar collected from flowers is used to
make delicious bees’ honey, which the bees store in honey, which the bees store in
honeycombs. Remember what John the Baptist ate? The Bible says he ate locusts
and wild honey!

And sorted through all of his junk.

 Jars of Lollipops
Gretel Laua M. Cadiong and Victoria D. Mangaser

Three days had passed since the world’s strongest typhoon of 2013, Yolanda, hit
the City of Tacloban. There was no electricity. There was little food and water. The
family of Mang Nilo and Aling Gloria had to leave the two-storey house which saved
them from the water that covered the entire city.

“We have to walk to the bus terminal.” Mang Nilo announced early in the morning.

“But it’s a long way from here,” Aling Gloria said, worried.
“God kept us safe during the storm. He will help us get there,” Mang Nilo
answered.
All around they saw roofless houses and buildings destroyed by the typhoon.
Lifeless bodies of men, women, children and animals were scattered along the way.
Mylene and Andrei held each other’s hands. Little Annie held Aling Gloria’s hand
tightly.
 “Hurry everyone,” Mang Nilo said. “We have a long way to go to reach the bus
terminal.”

“Can we rest a little? We have been walking since morning,” Mylene begged.
“I’m hungry and thirsty. We only had one piece of bread for breakfast and nothing
else,” Andrei said.

Aling Gloria prayed silently. They had nothing left but a bottle of water and five
sliced of bread. “Here, each one, have a slice of bread and drink a little water,” she
said, knowing it was their last supply of food.

“Look, Mother!” Annie shouted. On the muddy street was a plastic jar covered in
mud. Mylene and Andrei ran to it. It was a jar of lollipops, muddy but sealed.

“No, don’t pick it up, Mylene. It’s unsafe,” warned Father. “It is not good to eat.”
 The children were unwilling to let go of the jar. “Please, Father, let us keep these
lollipops,” Mylene and Andrei pleaded. Andrei picked the jar up. He cleaned it with rain
water. “It’s still good!” he cried and carried it along happily.

They walked for several hours. It was almost dark when the family reached the bus
terminal. But lo! Not a single bus was there. That night, they stayed in the bus terminal
waiting for a ride that would bring them to safety.

Hungry, wet and tired, the family huddled together and prayed. Then, Aling Gloria
looked around them. It broke her heart to see the little children crying in hunger.
Suddenly, she remembered the jar of lollipops!

“Andrei, where’s the jar of lollipops?” she asked. Andrei handed it to her. She
opened the jar and gave some to Mylene, Andrei and Annie. The children started
eating the sweet lollipops happily. It was the most delicious food they had that day.
 Aling Gloria shared the rest of the lollipops with the people around. Everyone
gladly ate the only food they had that night.

The next morning, rescue bus arrived and brought all of them to a safer place.
Aling Gloria smiled as she was about to ride the bus with her family. “After all,” she
thought, “There is God and … a jar of lollipops.”

Then, the mouse interrupted saying, "If you would only spare my life, I
would be sure to repay your kindness." The lion laughed and let him go. It

your favor. Now you know that it is possible for even a mouse to help out
a lion."

have a little fun. He ran towards the village calling out “Wolf! Wolf!” and the villagers
came out to help him, only to find him laughing like a hyena. The boy enjoyed his trick
very much. So the next day he tried it again and fooled the villagers for the second
time. But shortly after this, a wolf actually did come out from the forest and began to
chase the sheep, and the boy of course cried out again, “Wolf! Wolf!” But this time the
villagers didn’t pay attention to him, thinking the boy was playing again with them. So

 The Ant and The Grasshopper
Aesop’s Fable

One summer’s day, in a field, a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and
singing to its heart's content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great effort an
ear of corn he was taking to his nest.
"Why don’t you come and chat with me," asked the Grasshopper, "instead of
toiling your life away?”
"I am helping to store up food for the winter," said the Ant, "and I recommend you
to do the same.
“Why bother about winter?" said the Grasshopper. "We have got plenty of food
at present. “
But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil. When winter came, the
Grasshopper found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the ants distributing, every
day, corn and grain from the stores they had collected in summer.

their friendship. They went in search of a job and visited many places to earn some
money. They passed through various places, villages, towns, forests, and beaches. They
supported each other throughout their journey.
One day, they reached a desert. They had a very little food and water. John said that
they should save the food and water for later use. However, James disagreed. He
wanted to drink water, as he was very thirsty. They quarreled with each other for water.
John slapped James, and they walked in silence. James wrote on the sand, “My best
friend slapped me!”
Finally, they reached an oasis. They were very happy, and had a lot of fun in the
water. While they both were bathing, James was a bit careless and began to drown. John
rushed to him and saved him. James hugged his friend and thanked him. They had a
little nap and decided to leave the place. When they were about to leave, James carved
something on the rock. It was “My best friend saved my life!”
He said to John, “When you slapped me, I recorded it on sand. The wind would have
blown it away by now. However, when you saved my life, I recorded it on rock. It will

disapproved of everything. Her parents hated to get her anything because she disliked
everything that they bought her.
All the people in school thought that she was very unenjoyable to be around. She
was very insincere with other students’ feelings. This made it hard for her to find
friends to play with. The other students did not want to play with someone who
disagreed with them from all of the time. She was very unfriendly.

child that was disrespectful. They started to discourage her behavior. They know that
they didn’t want a child with inappropriate behavior.
