father in law
editor in - chief
bookshop
court martial

a box for letters


worn on a rainy day
catches fish

still he failed. Finally, he gave up and walked
away. With one last look at the grapes he said,
Anyone can they are sour. This just goes to

a fruit drink. First, Frank mixed the drink with
a wooden stick and left it at the back porch all

Department. Then the firemen arrived to
put out the fire. Finally, fire was

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!

to their living room to see if the bicycle had
been delivered during the night. Then the boy
would open the kapis (flat shell) window to
check if the toy was packed in the yard fronting
the main barrio road.
Still nothing happened. The young lad
had become desperate. Several times he heard
adults citing a proverb as follows: Kung hindi
makuha sa santong dasalan, kunin sa santong
paspasan. (If you cant get it through fervent
prayers, get it by force.).

B. During Reading Activities:


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


C. Post Reading Activities:
1. Answering the motive question.
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.

2. Comprehension Check:
Have the pupils answer the following
questions:
1. What was the dream of the eight-year
old son of the farmer?
2. How did his dream start?
3. Why cant he get his dream?
4. What was his only recourse then?
5. What did he do when he wasnt able to
get his dream?

what will you do in order to get your
dream?

The Tail That Saves


When an alligator lizard is attacked by
an enemy, it drops its tail. The tail has a part
where the bone breaks off easily. The break
closes quickly to stop the lizard from bleeding.
The tail keeps wriggling after it leaves
the lizards body. The attacker thinks its still
part of the lizard and pounces on it. This gives
the lizard time to get away. In time, the lizard
grows a new tail.

B. During Reading Activities:
1. Have the pupils listen to the story.
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
okay now. Hes just resting there,
elaborated Mama Rosa.

Good, do it now, Bobby! asked Uncle


Ramon, as he took some pills.

17

Bobby went to the kitchen and


looked for a piece of string.
Abracadabra, sssh! Boom! he
shouted. The happy feeling was back
again in the house. And the sun shone
brighter through the kitchen window
and made rainbows.

III. PROCEDURE:
GLR (Genuine Love for Reading)
A. Pre-reading Activities:
1. Drill: Pronunciation drill: Have the
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.

3. Vocabulary Development:
A word can have more than one
meaning. Have the pupils decide which
meaning of duck is used in the following
sentences.
a. a swimming bird
b. to dive or dip the head
c. to avoid or evade
d.
cotton fabric
e. 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
hunting wild ducks and he became an honest,
kind hearted farmer and lived happily forever.

1. He was such a duck and everyone loved


him!
2. The outgoing president knew that his
decisions
would
eventually
be
challenged by the incoming president.
He is what one may call a lame duck.
3. He had some light clothes made out of
duck.
4. He ducked the moment he sensed a
revolver aimed at his head.

her. Finally, there came a time when it seemed
to her that she and the box could not possibly be

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,

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:

GLR (Genuine Love for Reading)


A. Pre-reading Activities:
1. Drill: Pronunciation drill:
Have the pupils recite the given
tongue twister:

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!

Should she sell sheers sheets or


should she sell shaggy shawls?
2. Motivation:
Is it important to be beautiful?
Why?
Which is more important, to be
kind or to be beautiful? Why?

But there was no answer from the


chrysalis. So Bina went on and walk away with
her piece of pastry. Bina did not know it, but the
thing was a chrysalis, the pupa of a butterfly.

3. Unlocking of Difficulties:
Have the pupils identify the
meaning of the following words:
1.

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?
B. During Reading Activities:
1. Have the pupils listen to the
story. Let them take down
important details of the story.
2. Use the Direct Reading
Thinking Activity (DRTA) when
telling the story.

Look at me, Bina. I am your muchpitied friend. You boasted of being able to run
around and climb mountains. But now try to get
me to listen.
How beautiful and how lucky it is to be
able to fly around free!

APPEARANCES ARE
DECEPTIVE

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
so that her ant colony could have enough
to eat during the difficult months ahead.

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
turns soft and she decides to marry him.

Oral Reading of the Selection

Divide the class into four and distribute


copy of paragraphs taken from the short story
Then and Now.
Read the paragraph assigned to you.
Write one sentence that tells what the paragraph
is telling us.

Then and Now


Our world is completely
different from that of our greatgrandparents! Ours is more pleasant and
comfortable
because
of
scientific
discoveries and inventions, but it is more
complex too. Theirs was not very
comfortable and easy but it was very
simple 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.
Sometimes, I wonder. Which life is
better - our great-grandparents or ours? Do
you also wonder if yours is a better life
than your grandparents?

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.

Materials: strips of cartolina. Index cards,

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


A. Pre-reading Activities:
1. Drill: Pronunciation drill: Have
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:
60

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.

TS: Direction: Read the passage below. Infer


the moods directly stated by the quotes given.
The MOOD BANK can serve your guide to
identify the mood being referred to.
Once there was an old rock on top of a
mountain that wished it could talk. Now and
then, a person or an animal came by. Some
climbed onto the rock to look at the view.

7. GENERALIZATION:
Making an inference is seeing
other meanings that directly stated details
in a passage imply, suggest, or hint at. An
inference is going beyond the surface
details.

Hey! the rock wanted to say. Watch


your step! But it could not.
Thousands of years came and went but
the rock could not come and go like the people
and the animals. It had to sit still and keep
quiet.

Authors use words, phrases and


images to catch the attention of the readers
and to work on their emotions and create
the mood of the selection.

Then, one day, something changed. The


earth moved. With a great roar, the mountain
threw the rock high into the sky. It flew through
the air and landed in a river miles away.

What is a mood? Mood is the


feeling you experience while reading. It is
the atmosphere which covers a whole
range of moods; from anger to sadness; to
excitement and fear.
8. Application:
Have the pupils read the following
paragraphs. Then, infer the general
mood of each selection. Arrange the
letter of the following words to identify

4. Motive Question:
Have the pupils state
questions about the story.
(Who depended the poor man? How?)

A week before the final day, while he


was thinking about his misfortune, a gypsy
came by. Why are you wearing a long face,
goodman? he asked cheerfully. Janos told
him everything. Dont you worry. Ill
present the case to the king and youll surely
win. You should know how clever gypsies
are. Janos accepted the offer even if he
had little hope that anyone could really him.

B. During Reading Activities:


Have the pupils listen as the
teacher reads the story.

Depending a Poor Man

On the day of the trial, Janos was looking


for the gypsy in the chamber. He was
nowhere to be found. After sitting and
waiting for a long time, the King grew
impatient. Janos Kadar, he said.
Prepare to give all that which the
innkeeper is asking for you if your
representative doesnt appear in thirty
seconds.

Janos Kadar, a Hungarian, was a


hardworking fellow. He worked till the
wee hour of the night. Soon he was able
to pay off all his debts and still had
enough money left to live comfortably
for the rest of his life. So one beautiful
sunny day, Janos went to see and repay
the innkeeper who had helped him
when he was penniless and starving.

Just in time, the gypsy came bursting


through the door. Your majesty, I apologize
for being late. You see, I was boiling corn at
home, trying to turn it into more corns!

How surprised the innkeeper was


when he saw Janos. Hello. Fifteen
years ago, you gave me three boiled
eggs when I was very poor and hungry.
I came back to reward you for your
kindness by paying for those eggs a
hundredfold.

Everyone in the chamber roared in


laughter.
How silly you are! How can you make
more from boiled corn? asked the King.

Unfortunately,
the
generous
innkeeper became a greedy one after
fifteen years. He figured out what have
happened if the three eggs had hatched
into little chickens and if those chickens
had grown up and hatched for more
chickens, and so on. Finally, he
greedily concluded that Janos must
give him everything he had, including
his savings.

The gypsy grinned and said, Well, Your


Majesty, how can you hatch chicks from
boiled eggs?
The King stared at the gypsy
thoughtfully. I think youre right. The
boiled eggs could not hatch into chicks
anymore. Finally, he said, Janos, you
have to pay only for the eggs you ate.

Janos almost fell dead in surprise


with how his kind gesture was met with
by such unimaginable greedy demands.
The story of his predicament spread
like fire throughout the land. The King
of Hungary heard the story and
volunteered to sit in the jury.
Janos became more and more upset
as the time drew near for him and the
innkeeper to face the king in court.
Soon his hard-earned savings would
disappear like a bubble for he
presumed that the king would decide in
favor of the crafty innkeeper.

How thankful Janos was to the King and


most especially to the gypsy traveler. As for
the innkeeper, there was no more reward
just a few cents for his boiled eggs.

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.

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

concrete highway with their families and
friends. Cars and vehicles were parked in the

people stormed its gates and rushed
through the rooms of the palace.

People Power had won over the


dictators rule. A long night had ended. It
