One bright morning when the

dew drops, Liwayway went to the woods.
She went with her maids to gather wild
flowers and luscious fruits.
In the woods, however, Liwayway
got lost. As she searched for her maids,
she came face to-face with a wild beast.
It was the same animal that scared the
maids away. Liwayway was confused. She
did not know what to do. She was so
frightened that she, too, took to her heels.
She ran as fast as he could until she fell
into a deep ravine and lay unconscious.
When she awoke, she saw a
handsome young man beside her. He
looked sad; sitting there silently. He sat
quietly as if guarding her. The handsome
young man was Lakan Galing. He was the
son of a neighboring lakan who was
known far and wide as a brave warrior.
Liwayway, upon waking up, smiled
shyly at Lakan Galing. He smiled, too, and
helped her sit down on the thick grass.
After telling each other the stories
of their lives and their homes, Lakan
Galing led Liwayway to her home. By
then, they had come to know each other
even if they went on without saying any
word. Galing, on his part, did not express
his love for LIwayway, fearing that he
might be scorned. On the other hand,
LIwayway, who was a modest maiden,
simply kept her feelings to herself.
Lakan Galing stopped walking
when they were near Lakan Bungabongs
house. Liwayway waved her hand in
parting. The she turned away and walked
on towards her home. But as she did so,
she sighed loudly. It escaped heer lips and
Lakan Galing heard it. It meant that
Liwayway loved him and was sorry to part
from him. He rushed forward excitedly
and in a moment she was in her arms.
They sang sweetly together and
promised to be true to each other no
matter what happened. For some time,
they were happy in the company of each
other.

chieftain, Lakan Bungabong. His only
daughter, Liwayway, meaning dawn, was

his absence, he made Liwayway promise to
remember him always.
Oh, must you go right away?
cried Liwayway
Yes, duty calls and we must be
courageous. Will you promise to be true to
me forever? asked her lover.
I promise to remember you always
and to be true to you till the end. Even in
death, I shall still remember you! the youth
dais filled with emotion.
And may Bathala protect you!
Liwayway added.
The
Lakan
Galing
clasped
Liwayways hand and as he did so, she said,
Sumpa kitang di lilimutin. She swore
never to forget.
Sadly, Lakan Galing was killed in
the fight. When Liwayway learned that he
had been killed, she become lonely. She was
so broken-hearted that she soon died. Even
on her death-bed, she whispered his name.
Many months passed. One day, a
plant with small, white, fragrant flowers was
seen growing on her grave. The flowers
filled the air with a sweet scent.
Those sweet white flowers are
reminders of pure love for Lakan Galing ,
said the people.
Soon the young men and young
women began pledging their love by
exchanging garlands made of these flowers.
And as they exchanged garlands, they said,
Sumpa kita to each other.

Ask: How does man consider a dog?
(The dog is considered as mans best
friend.)

One morning, as Llewelyn mounted


his horse to go hunting, he noticed that
Gelert was missing. An impatient man, he
rode off without his dog. When the hunt
ended, he returned to the castle and was
about to enter his room when Gelert came
rushing out excitedly to greet him. The
prince froze in horror when he saw that
the dog had bloodstains on his jaws.
(Pause for awhile then ask: Why do you
think Gelert had bloodstains on his jaw?)

3. Unlocking of Difficulties:
Have the pupils know the meaning
of the following words by answering the
puzzle below: (Group Work)

a. willing
b. gift

Has it gone mad? the horrified


prince thought to himself. is my son all
right?
(Why do you think the prince asked
himself, is my son all right?)

(Divide the class into 4 groups. Then


give each group the task assigned to
them.)
d. Can the prince trust Gelert? Prove
that Gelert could be trusted. Group
one present your work.
e. What is the moral lesson of the
story? Group two present your

f. If you will be Prince Llewelyn,
what would you do when you saw
that Gelert had bloodstains on his
jaw? Express your feeling through
writing a letter. Group three
present your work.
g. How will you take care of your
pet? Group four present your work.

Rushing into the room, Llewelyn was


shocked to see the babys cradle overturned.
There were several patches of dried blood
on the floor. (What do you think happened
with the baby? What do you think did the
prince do with Gelert?)
Overcame by grief and blinded with
fury, he drew his sword from its sheath and
rained several blows on Gelert, crying,
Monster! You have devoured my son!
As Gelert collapsed and lay dying on
the floor, Llewelyn heard a cry from under
the overturned cradle. (What do you think
did the prince see under the overturned
cradle?)
It was his little baby who lay
unharmed. His head was resting on the body
of a dead wolf. As he scooped up his son,
Llewelyn realized that while he had been out
hunting, his faithful dog had been protecting
the baby.
With the baby safe in one arm, he
held the dying dog in the other. Gelert
looked at him with doleful eyes and lied
without a whimper in its masters arm.
Filled with remorse, Llewelyn buried
Gelert at a place that he named Beth-Gelert.
To this day, there is still a pile of stones
marking the grave of the unfortunate dog.

defiant foe/ with only brief intervals for

THE PARABLE OF THE DIVISION


The young boy and his older
brother were taught by their parents to
divide material things equally and fairly.
This they tried to follow.
A system evolved in which one
does the dividing and the other gets the
selecting first. This guaranteed an
equitable cutting. Otherwise, the one who
divided would be in the losing end.
One day, the two boys had a pair
of fish for lunch. One big fish and the
other a small one. The young boy thought
his older brother would give in
(magparaya) to him as a younger and
weaker sibling so he said, Kuya
(appellation for older brother), please go
ahead and make the first selection.
The older brother quickly got the
bigger fish. The younger boy was
disappointed to get the much smaller fish.
If I were you, said the younger
boy to his older brother, I would have
taken the smaller fish.
What are you complaining
about? answered the older brother. You
got what you want.

2. Motivation:
Is it good to share things equally
with your brother/sister? Why? Why not?
3. Unlocking of Difficulties:
Try to draw out the meaning of the
underlined words through context clues.
1. A system evolved in which one does the
dividing and the other gets the selecting
first.
a. run away from
b. produced by natural means
c. go around
2. To guarantee means the same as _____.
a. answer joyfully a question
b. to answer for something as in loan
or pledge
c. announce something
3. Equitable would mean _____.
a. a bank
b. fair and equal

Next time around, the two boys had


to share a bottle of soft drink. They were in
the rice field with no glasses or containers
available.
Lets just drink direct from the
bottle, suggested the older brother. Be
sure it is exactly half. You go ahead and
drink your share.
The younger boy took the bottle and
raised it to his mouth. The refreshing fluid
eddied out and down his throat in successive
big gulps. He practically held his breath
while the older brother waited.
After a minute, the content of the
whole bottle was gone. The younger brother
had drunk all and wiped his mouth with his
wrist. He smiled contentedly.
Why did you drink all of it?
accosted the older boy.
The younger brother replied, My
half share was at the bottom part of the
bottle.

THE VANITY OF THE RAT
In Korea, it was formerly the

childrens marriages. Mr. and Mrs. Rat
were anxious for their darling daughter,
Rena to marry into a respectable family.

2. Unlocking of Difficulties:

7. vanity

From the first, they had taught that


Mr. Sun was the most high-stationed and
well-descended person they knew, and
they decided that he was just the person to
marry their daughter.
Hello, Mr. Sun, said Mr. Rat
importantly. I would like you to know
that my daughter is old enough to marry
now and that we would be very pleased to
welcome you into our family as Renas
husband. We chose you from all the men
we know because of your high position
and your great power. (Do you think Mr.
Sun accepted the offer of Mr. Rat?)
You offer is indeed kind, Mr.
Rat, replied the smiling Mr. Sun, who
had no desire to marry a member of the
Rat family. I feel that it is only fair to tell
you, however, that I am not the most
powerful person of your acquaintance. I
would like to recommend to you Mr.
Cloud, who can cover up my face and keep
me from shining.
Yes, of course, of course! Mr.
Cloud is certainly more powerful, said
Mr. Rat as he and his wife went to see the

gentleman. (How about Mr. Cloud? Do you


thin he will also accept Mr. Rats offer?)
When Mr. Cloud heard of Mr. Rats
offer, he too was not eager to choose his
wife from the House of the Rats. He waved
his hands, saying, You seem not to know
that there is one who is more worthy of your
honor than I. Though I sometimes get the
better of Mr. Sun, I am still a mere servant
of Mr. Wind. His blast and growl make me
go anywhere he pleases, whether I want or
not.
Leaving Mr. Cloud, Mr. Rat
mumbled to his wife, Mr. Wind is indeed
much more powerful; much more powerful.
He is certainly the proper husband for our
daughter. (Did Mr. Wind accept the offer
of Mr. Rat?)
Once again, Mr. Rat offered the
hand of his daughter in marriage, but Mr.
Wind was no more anxious than the others
to become Mr. Rats son-in-law. Laughing
hoarsely, he said, I am indeed powerful
enough, for forests tremble and ships toss in
fear of me. But there is one more powerful
than I. It is Mr. Wall. He sets his strong legs
firm upon the earth and stands immovable
in my way, arms folded, eyes blinking. But
for him, how I could meddle in the lives of
families?
So saying, Mr. Wind gave another
laughed and whizzed on.
Wondering how his wise brain could
ever have overlooked so powerful and close
a neighbor, Mr. Rat visited Mr. Wall, who
likewise apologized. It is quite true that I,
without any sign of outward exertion, can
check the progress of the wind, which
commands the cloud, which overpowers the
sun. But what am I to you, oh, Mr. Rat?
Your prosperous race can undermine me
and make me fall in the twinkling of an eye,
if need be. Oh, Mr. Rat, I am at your
mercy. (Who could be the best groom for
Rena?)
How true, very true! Mr. Rat said
proudly. Of course the race of rats is the
most powerful of all. And my glorious race
is next to none yes, next to none in
respectability. The only person for our
darling Rena is to marry another rat.
Yes, said Mrs. Rat. And I know
just the person: that nice Roger Rat who
seems to like Rena so much. And his parents
are such good friends of ours, too.
Old Roland Rats boy? An excellent
idea! agreed Mr. Rat. Lets see if he is in
now.

When Roger rat appeared, Mr. and


Mrs. Rat told him of their offer, which he
accepted immediately. They led him to
their hole, where they found Rena giggled
coyly, hanging on to her mothers hand.
Although she tried not to let Roger know
how she felt, she was very much delighted
that her parents were arranging for her to
marry him. Like most Korean girls, she
was shy when she was with boys.
Mr. and Mrs. Rat were every bit as
pleased as Rena and Roger were about the
arrangement. And Mr. Rat was convinced
that he had made the best possible match
for his darling daughter. (Who was the
best match for Rena?)

only a few could touch it. God did not like
this. He did not like the rose plant to be

THE PARABLE OF THE FOREST


Three men got lost in a dense forest.
For several days, they could not find their
own way out. Exhausted, the three men
camped on a common site and discovered
that one was a sculptor, another was a
tailor, and the third was a holy man.
Out of sheer desperation, they
agreed to create native man who could then
guide them out of the thick forest to safety.
(What do you think each man did to create
a native man?)
The sculptor got a piece of trunk from
a fallen tree and carved the figure of a man.
The tailor gathered several leaves
and sewed together a coat and pants and put
them on the carved wooden structure.
Then the holy man murmured his
deepest incantations whereby life soon
began to breathe out of the wooden man.
A problem immediately arose. (What
do you think was the problem?) Each
began to claim the native as his creation.
If not for the wooden form, this
native would not exist, said the sculptor.
If not for the attire, this native
would not be made! exclaimed the tailor.
If not for my prayers, no life would
have lived! shouted the holy man.
Since they could not agree on who
should get the credit and the ownership of
the creation, (What do you think they did
with the native man?) the three decided to
retrieve each ones contribution. The holy
man got back his prayers, the tailor stripped
out the clothes, and the sculptor reduced the
low lifeless log into a pile of flitches with his
ax. (What happened to the native man?)
The native man who could have led the
three to safety was dead.

B. Engagement Activities:

holy man contribute to the plan? Make a script
and dramatize the part to prove your answer.

Enough of your lunacy, she said


with a trace of anger. Now, spread out,
one each corner of the room. Get a piece
of paper and ready your pencil.
Are you giving us a special
quiz? asked the fat one with
apprehension. The three were certainly
not ready for a test. (What do you think
the teacher will do?)
No, this is not a quiz, she said
with a naughty and big smile. I just
want you separately to write a short
essay indicating which of the four legs of
the carabao got fractured. And be
specific whether it is hind or front leg
and whether right or left.

A flock of birds attracted them. They


spent the better part of the morning firing
their slingshot. (What did they do with the
bird?) The birds hovered around the newly
harvested field to nourish on the left over
grains on their panicles. The boys had fun
chasing the birds. And as each animal flew
to safety, the stone from the force of the
slingshot followed them.
Now, they were late for school by
almost an hour. It was not the first time.
But somehow, they always put one over
their young city-bred teacher. They always
had good alibis. (What do you think are
some of the alibis that they say to
convince their teacher?
It was either the farm chores or some
last minute unavoidable errand or some
mishap. One time, they spent the morning
swimming in the river. Yet, they convinced
their teacher of an emergency. A little girl
was drowning so they took time to save
her.
Or the alibi of helping an old woman
carry her heavy load. Their excuses were
endless. (Do you think their teacher
believe their alibis?)
They also knew their teacher was
getting suspicious and fed up. So the three
boys made sure their next explanation was
fool-proof.
I have a good idea, said the fat
one of the three boys. Let us tell the
teacher we saw this carabao in pain.
Yes, the second agreed. The
carabao was wounded.
No, the third remarked. It must
be more serious than a wound. Let us say
a leg was fractured. That way, it is
acceptable and will justify the length of
our delay.
Right! Brilliant. The perfect alibi,
they chorused.
And so, in as dramatic a way they
could master, the alibi was presented. The
teacher listened patiently.(Do you think
their teacher believe on their alibis?)
How pitiful is the carabao, she
commented. It is good the three of you
were on the spot to assist and save the
poor hapless animal.
That is right, Maam, confirmed
the fat one with a shade of cocksureness.
Without us, the carabao is a goner (tepok
na). It is good only one leg got broken.
Otherwise, it is the slaughter house for the
hapless animal. We should be commended.
Maybe even awarded medals.

started with quill pens, then fountain pens,
before moving on typewriters. Now, most
writers use computers. The tolls that painters
use have also changed and in some cases
improved.

To change question into statement,


invert the position of the subject and
the first word in the verb phrase in
the question.
Ex. Are the blue whales the largest
animals in existence? (Q)
The blue whales are the largest
animals in existence. (S)

him most generously if he could restore


her eyesight. However, he was to receive
nothing if he did not cure her blindness.
Upon agreeing to these conditions, the
physician treated the old ladys eyes from
time to time without the intention to make
much progress.
In the meantime, he succeeded in
carrying off all her goods little by little.
After a few weeks, he finally set about his
task in earnest and cured her, whereupon
he requested his reward. But, when the old
woman recovered her eyesight, she saw
that her house had been ransacked and
continually put off the physician with
excuses whenever he demanded payment.
Consequently,
he
had
her
summoned before the judges of the court
and charged with neglect of payment. In
her defense, she said, What this man says
is true enough. I promised to reward him if
he restored my sight and give him nothing
if he did not. He now maintains that I am
cured, but I say just the opposite. When I
was first struck by my disease, I could still
see all sorts of my furniture and goods in
my house. But now, even though he asserts
that he has restored my eyesight, I cannot
see even a tiny trace of my furniture or my
other possessions.

Were moving today, said the
Father. Take a rake and come and
help me.
But the son was so lazy and did not
want to work, so he said, Im a
scholar and I have forgotten all those
peasant words. What is a rake?
As we walked across the yard, he
stepped on a rake that was lying in his
way, and it struck him on the forehead.
He suddenly seemed to recall what a
rake was and, clutching his head, he
cried, What fool left a rake lying
here?

The Dove and the Ant


An ant once fell from the edge of a
brook in a forest when a dove stepped on it
to drink. The ant floated helplessly, for to it,
the little brook was an ocean. The dove saw
the poor ant and so she took a blade of
grass and threw it towards the ant. The ant
drifted ashore on the leaf.
One day, a hunter happened to pass by.
Seeing the pretty dove, he set his gun and
aimed at the dove. The timely bite of the ant
on his heel saved the dove from death.
The dove flew away safely as the ant
looked happily.

Motive Question:
What favor did Latona ask
of the men beside the lake?

their feet till the water was too muddy for


the thirstiest traveler to drink. Then
Latona in her great anger forgot her thirst
and the misery of her children. She
remembered that she was a powerful
goddess. Lifting up her hands to heaven,
she cried out, Live you forever in that
muddy pool!
At once, a strange change took
place in the forms of the rude men. Their
jaws grew wide, their necks disappeared,
their backs turned green, and as newmade frogs, they went on jumping about in
the muddy water.
And its still their delight to live in
water, sometimes with their bodies entirely
under the surface, sometimes with their
heads above, sometimes swimming about,
above, or below the surface. And often,
they sit upon the bank, basking in the sun,
till with mighty leap they plunge again into
the water and stir up the mud at the
bottom of the pool. And even now, their
voices are hoarse, their throats swell up,
their mouths are wide when they cry out in
their quarrelsome tones! Go away! Go
away!

B. During Reading Activities:


Have the pupils listen to the story.
Let them take down important details
about the story.
LATONA AND THE FROGS
An old story is told of a Greek goddess
whose name was Latona. Once, when the
hot sun was shining fiercely upon the fields,
Latona went traveling through the land with
her two young children. The day grew
warmer and warmer, and at last, all three
were weary and faint from the heat, and
their throats were dry with thirst. The
children cried for water, and Latona
comforted them as well as she could, saying
that surely they should soon come to a
stream of fresh cold water, where they could
drink and rest.
And sure enough, before too long, they
saw in a green valley ahead of them a
beautiful lake sparkling in the light. They
hastened forward, happy to know that they
would soon wet their dry throats and rest
from the heat. But as they neared the water,
some rude countrymen, who were gathering
bushes from the banks of the lake, looked up
and saw the thirsty travelers. These
countrymen were so greedy that they did not
wish to share anything good with strangers,
not even anything as plentiful as the water
in the lake. As Latona and her two children
knelt down at the waters edge to drink from
the sparkling lake, the rude men rushed up
to them crying in loud hoarse voices: Go
away! Go away!
The travelers raised their pale, weary
faces and Latona said: Why do you deny us
water? Water is free to everyone, like the
sunshine, the air and the sky.
But the rude men raised their arms
threateningly and still cried harshly: Go
away! Go away!
We do no harm to you here, pleaded
Latona. We do not ask to bathe our weary
bodies in the lake. We ask only to cool our
parched throats with a drink.
No, no, shouted the cruel men. Go
away! Go away!
Only look at these fainting children,
Latone begged them. See, they stretch out
their little arms toward the water. Their
throats are so dry that they cannot cry out.
A drink will mean life to them.
But the men, far from pitying the poor
children, jumped into the margin of the lake
and stirred up the soil from the bottom with

Our world is completely different

one.
Our great-grandparents had no
movies or radio sets, but theirs was a life of
peace and quiet. Our grandmother had no
electric stoves. Hers was only a clay stove,
but she cooked good meals in it. Our
grandfather had no tractor and modern
farming tools. His were only the plow and
the carabao, but he did all right.
Now, we have electric stoves,
refrigerators and electric fans but the
problem of earning enough to pay for them
is ours. Now, we have radio, movie and TV
sets, but ours is difficulty of not having
enough time for all of these.

MANGOSPAROS AND THE


MONKEYS
Once there was a man named
Mangosparos. He and his wife lived near
a forest. Mangosparos grew bananas. You
could find many kinds of bananas in his
yard such as yellow bananas, green
bananas and even red bananas.
His banana plantation attracted the
monkeys living in the forest. They trooped
in Mangosparos yard, climbed up the
banana trees and ate all the ripe fruits.
At first, Mangosparos and his wife
were not affected by the monkeys. They
could still keep some fruits for themselves.
But somehow, more monkeys came and
feasted upon the bananas. Soon enough,
the couple could hardly have bananas for
themselves.
One morning, while the monkeys
were eating bananas, Mangosparos
approached them and politely requested
them to leave some bananas for himself
and his wife. But the animals laughed at
him. They ignored his request by
saying;You may have planted the banana
trees but does not mean that you should
also eat their fruit.
Mangosparos continued to plead
the monkeys to spare some bananas for
him and his wife, but his plea was ignored
all the time.

In his anger, Mangosparos started


setting traps for the animals. He threw
stones at them and shot them with bows and
arrows. But still, the monkeys came and
stole bananas. Out of desperation, the
couple thought of a plan on how to save the
bananas and get rid of the monkeys.
One early morning, the monkeys
were awakened from their sleep by the loud
wailing of Mangosparos wife. Ai!
Mangosparos is dead! Poor Mangosparos is
dead! Gone is the planter of banana!
Neighbors, come and see his body, for you
will never see him again Hu! Hu! Hu!
The
monkeys
talked
among
themselves. Listen! The old woman says
that Mangosparos is dead His wife is
crying over him! Another hush of noise
started within them. Come, lets go and see
for ourselves. If he is dead, no one will ever
bother us again.
They all rushed to Mangosparos
place and found the windows shut and
bolted. They climbed up the ladder and
entered through the narrow door. They saw
the woman crying over the husband, who lay
stiff and still on a straw mat. The monkeys
were overjoyed at this, We will never be
bothered by that cruel man again. We now
all have the bananas for ourselves.
Little
did
they
know
that
Mangosparos was still alive and breathing.
He and his wife were just acting as if he was
really dead.
As soon as all the monkeys gathered
inside the house, Mangosparos wife quickly
bolted the door. At that instant,
Mangosparos rose and took a bolo which he
hid at his side. His wife brought out another
bolo and in a few moments, all the monkeys
trapped inside their house were dead.
Mangosparos and his wife finally got rid
of the abusive monkeys.

POEM INTERPRETATION CAST FOR


VERSE CHOIR

COMMUNICATION
Humans communicate with each
other every day using sounds and body
movements. Most commonly, we share
information about the world around us
through spoken languages. These are
special sounds we make to represent
objects, actions, numbers, colors and other
features.
We use our brains to remember
words, put them in the correct order, and
make the larynx, or voice box, produce the
correct sounds. If a person is unable to
speak, he or she can communicate in other
ways, often by using sign language. We
also have written and pictorial language,
which are signs, symbols, and squiggles
that represent spoken words.
The whole body works together to
help us convey our innermost thoughts and
feelings through language.

THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER


When a great multitude came
together, and people from every city were
coming to him, he spoke by a parable.
The farmer went out to sow his seeds. As
he sowed, some fell along the road, and
they were trampled under foot, and the
birds of the sky devoured them. Other
seeds fell on the rock, and as soon as they
grew, they withered away, because they
had no moisture. Others fell amid the
thorns, and the thorns grew with them,
and choked them. Others fell into the good
ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit
one hundred times.
As he said these things, he called
out, He who has ears to hear, let him
hear!
Then his disciples asked him,
What does this parable mean?
He said, To you it is given to
know the mysteries of the Kingdom of
God, but to the rest in parables; that
seeing they may not see, and hearing
they may not understand.
Now the parable is this: The seed is
the Word of God. Those along the road are
those who hear, then the devil comes, and
takes away the word from their heart that
they may not believed and saved. Those
on the rock are they who, when they hear,
receive the word with joy but these have
no root, who believe for a while, then fall
away in time of temptation. That which
fell among the thorns, these are those who
have heard, and as they go on their way
they are choked with cares, riches and
pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to
maturity. That in the good ground, these
are such as in an honest and good heart,
having heard the word, hold it tightly, and
bring forth fruit with patience.
