and the television. We hear the sounds made
by animals in the yards.

powder, sugar, rice, flour, wheat, rain, ice,
water, soup, softdrinks, juice, tea, vinegar, soy
sauce, milk, syrup, oil, sauce, mud, food, grass,

was so amazed when she saw how the spider laid
its eggs in the spider egg sac.
Suddenly, Anton tried to catch the spider. Ericka
stopped him.
Do you know, Kuya, that spiders spend a long
time spinning their web? The mother spider made

quarreled most of the time.
One August morning, Father Ant called

must find food together. If we work together, we
can have enough food before the rain comes.
Alas, the boys were not listening.
Bernie made fun of Luis. Luis went back to his
room. So, Father Ant called them back.
Father Ant showed them a bundle of twigs. He
asked each ant to break the bundle. Each one
tried but the bundle did not break. Then, he gave
each one a piece of twig. The twig broke easily.
Father Ant spoke, See, my sons, this is what
it means to work together as one. Work with

Wilmas Fight to Win

From Pat Nelsons Magic Minutes:
Quick Read-Alouds for Every Day
Wilma Rudolph was an Olympic runner. When
she was born, everyone did not think she would
live. She was a very small baby of four and a half
pounds.
When she was four years old, Wilma was crippled
by polio. The doctor told her parents that she
would never walk again. The whole family, all
19 of them, didnt believe it. Sixteen brothers
and sisters massaged and exercised her leg. Her
parents gave her heat and water treatments.
Everybody helped.
At eight years old, Wilma had a leg brace. Even
when she had a limp, she played basketball with
her brothers and sometimes, by herself. When she
was 11 years old, she played basketball on her
bare feet. Everyone was amazed. At 15 years old
she became a basketball champion.
Wilma was excellent in track and field. When
she joined the Olympics in Melbourne, Australia,
she got a bronze medal as a member of the US
Olympic relay team. In the Summer Olympics in
Rome, she won three gold medals in track and
field events. She was voted US Female Athlete of
the Year, Worlds Fastest Woman. The little girl
whom doctors said would never be able to walk

The Pixies and the Lazy Housewife

By Mary Calhoun
Long ago in England, people believed in pixies.
These invisible little people loved neatness. They
cleaned the house of people they liked. They
play tricks on lazy housewives. Bessy was a messy
housewife. She didnt want to wash the dishes.
She never swept the floor of her cottage. Mice
made a nest behind her broom. It was strange
that the pixies did not punish her.
One summer, Bessy saw pixies in the field. Bessy
pretended to be sick. She groaned, saying, Oh, I
am too sick to clean my house. Please help me.
Whats the matter? said a pixie. Bessy said,
Who is that? A pixie replied, Its Willy. Ill help
you. Thank you, please come home with me,
Bessy said. Willy and the pixies jumped into Bessys
basket. When they got home, Bessy went straight
to bed. The pixies started cleaning. They washed
the dishes and the dirty clothes. They scrubbed
the floor and swept away the cobwebs.
The next day, Willy went to Bessys bed and asked,
Can you get up today? Bessy just groaned and
said, Im still too sick to get up. So the pixies
cleaned the house again. When they left, Bessy
jumped and sang. Tralalala. I have the pixies
to work for me. I can just stay in bed. Bessy did
not know that the pixies were watching her. Willy
laughed, Hahaha, playing a trick on us? Here,
275
take this. Willy pinched Bessys nose. The other
pixies messed up the house. They ate all the food
and blew out the candles. Bessy ran out of the
house but the hill was misty. Bessy got lost. When
the mist cleared up, Bessy went home. When she
got home, Willy was in her house. Get to work,
lazy Bessy, or Ill pinch you, commanded Willy.
When the house was clean, the pixies left. Bessy
always cleaned her house after that. Willy and the
other pixies might come back.

Once there was an old man who had many sons.
They always quarrelled with one another. They
quarrelled over who should use the bathroom first.
At meal time, they would fight over who got to the
table first. The old man had often begged his sons
to live together in peace, but without success.
One day, he called them together. He showed
them a bundle of barbecue sticks. He asked
each one of them to break the bundle. Each one
316
tried with all his strength but the bundle did not
break. Then cutting the cord that bound the sticks
together, the old man gave his sons a stick each.
Then he told his sons to break it. This was done with

my sons, the power of unity! If you bind yourselves
together with brotherly love, you can win any
fight.
Divided you will fall, united you will stand.

scattered beneath a tree. So all the doves landed
and began to eat.
(What do you think happened next?)
Without warning a huge net fell over them
and they were all trapped. They saw a hunter
approaching them carrying a cage.
The doves wildly flapped their wings trying to get
out, but they could not. King Kalapati got an idea.
He told all the doves to fly up together. Each dove
picked up a part of the net and together they
flew off carrying the net with them.
The hunter was surprised. He tried to follow them,
but they were flying high over the trees and over
the field. They flew to a nearby farm where there
lived a small mouse under a tree who was a
faithful friend of King Kalapati.
350
When the mouse heard the loud flapping of wings,
he was afraid and went into hiding. King Kalapati
gently called out to him and then the mouse
was happy to see him. The dove king explained
that they were caught in a net and needed the
mouses help.
The mouse chewed the net with his teeth and set
the doves free. They all thanked the mouse and
flew away together.

Maam, Sir!
Taxi, Maam, Sir!

By Dali Soriano
Taxi, Sir? Ill get one for you.
I am Ted. After school I stay outside the gate of
the village near our house. I call taxis for people
who need them. I am most happy when a
passenger gives me one peso. This is how I help
my parents buy food for my brothers and sisters.
One day, an old man asked me to call for a taxi
and gave me a paper bag. Ted, take this home
to your family, he said. Thank you, sir, I told
him. I ran home to share the bag with my family.
Pancit! shouted my little sister as she opened
the bag. My five brothers and two sisters ran to the
table. We all shared the pancit. Where did you
get the money to buy pancit? Nanay asked. I
called for a taxi for an old man and he gave me
a bag of pancit. He told me to share it with you, I
replied.
The next day, the man called me again but
not for a taxi. Would you like to help clean my
house? he asked. Oh yes, but when? You see,
I go to school, I answered. I will send you to
school. Really? I asked. Yes, I will, he said.
366
Ah, but I dont want to be away from my family,
I added. You are not leaving them. After school
you come help me clean the house. Then, you
can go home, the man explained. Thank you.
I like that. My parents will like the good news, I
said.
My parents were happy.
I like working for the kind, old man. I dont have to
call for taxis anymore.

After the meeting, the parents wrote to the city
government. They said, Please help us make
the park a safe place for our children. The
city agreed to help. The work began on the
playground. Parents and their children cleared
the soil and planted vegetables. They planted
fruit trees, too. They planted big narra and acacia
trees. The city government brought in slides,

Mark Has Horses Ears

An Adaptation of Mark Has Horses Ears
by Robert Nye
Mark had everything he wanted. Everyone said,
What a lucky boy. How happy he must be! But
Mark was not happy. He had a secret. The secret
was that he had horses ears that he kept under a
bonnet.
The only person who knew about the secret was
the family barber. He was forced to promise not
to tell anyone or else his barber shop would be
closed. The barber kept the secret until he began
to get sick and went to the doctor. The doctor
said, You are not sick at all. Perhaps you are
400
keeping a secret. The barber fell off his chair.
He thought the doctor knew about little Marks
secret. The doctor asked what the secret was, but
the barber wouldnt say anything. The doctor said,
Well, if you wont tell me, tell it to the ground.
Right away the barber went to the bank of the
river and laid his head down and whispered,
Mark has horses ears. Mark has horses ears.
Right away he felt better.
When the little rich boy celebrated his seventh
birthday, his mother prepared a big banquet. She
invited musicians to entertain guests. One played
music using a comb and a leaf. When the guests
had eaten, little Marks father called on the special
musician to play. The musician blew on his comb
and out came the song, Mark has horses ears.
The guests began to giggle. The father snatched
the comb from the musician and blew on it. Again
the comb sang, Mark has horses ears. Everyone
laughed so hard they were rolling on the floor.
Suddenly Marks mom stood up and spoke, How
many of you here have horses ears? Only one,
my special son, Mark. It is a sign of his difference
from you. The mother took off the bonnet that
hid Marks ears. Then the father and mother kissed
Mark, first on one ear and then on the other.
After this, everyone wanted horses ears because
these would make them special. Mark didnt
have to hide his ears anymore.

The Lion and the Mouse

Aesops Fable
Once there was a lion sleeping peacefully under
the shade of a narra tree. Suddenly a mouse
ran up his shoulders. The lion woke up and shook
himself like an earthquake and sent the little
creature to the ground. The lion caught the mouse
by the tail, holding him with one great paw. Who
are you to disturb my much-needed sleep?
roared the lion. Almost too scared to say anything,
the mouse begged to be set free. I give you my
word, Sir Lion. One day I will return the favor.
Give your word, squeaking pip? asked the lion,
laughing. The mouse nodded and the lion lifted
his paw and let the creature free. They went their
separate ways. The lion forgot about the mouse, but
the mouse was more careful where he put his feet.
One day the lion roared pitifully through the forest.
It woke the mouse in the comfort of his rest. That
sounds like Sir Lion. He saved my life. I promised
I would return the favor. Now is my chance.
The mouse hurried toward the sound. He saw
the lion hung from a great branch, caught in a
hunters net, trapped so tightly it couldnt move.
The mouse quickly climbed up the tree and down
the thick ropes where he set to work with his
sharp teeth. He chewed and pulled, nibbled and
gnawed through the mesh until eventually the net
began to loosen and the lion was released.
408
The lion thanked the mouse. Thank you, little
mouse. I promise never to underestimate the
smaller creatures again. The mouse in turn tried
to look heroic and brave. It was with some relief
and not a little pride that he watched as the lion
disappeared into the forest.

The Puddle
By Dali Soriano
Leo, Bob, and Jim are neighbors in Barangay
Catmon. They walk to school together every day.
Leo likes doing fun things. Jim loves school. Bob
does whatever Jim decides to do.
One morning after the rain, as these three grade-
two pupils walked happily to school, they passed
by a big puddle of water. Jim and Bob stayed
away from the puddle. Leo thought of something
fun to do. He leaped down on the puddle,
splashing muddy water on Jim and Bob.
Why did you do that? cried Bob. Look at what
youve done! We are wet! We are muddy! That
dirty water could make us sick! shouted Jim. And
we are late for school! cried the two angrily.
Leo replied laughing, Ha ha ha, forget about
school today. Lets skip school, just once. Come
on, lets swim in the puddle!
No, Im going home to change, decided Jim.
I dont want to go to school in this wet and dirty
uniform. I dont want to get sick.

and miss school.
Jim and Bob went home to change. They got to
