The Legend of Durian

Retold by Boots A. Pastor

A long time ago there lived an ugly, old but powerful king named Barom-Mai in
Calinan near Davao City. He married the young and beautiful Madayaw-Bayho, a daughter
of Tageb, king of the sea pirates who ruled the islands of Ligid, Talicud and Samal.

(STOP)
Ask the class: Do you think Madayaw-Bayho had fallen in love with the king? Why do you
think so?

But Madayaw-Bayho did not love the king: so she often ran away from his
kingdom. But her father always returned her to the king. One day, she ran away, and vowed
never to return to the king. Because of this King Barom-Mai told his advisers, headed by
Matigum, to find a way to make his wife love him. He told him about Impit Purok, a hermit
who lived in a cave in Mt. Apo.
(STOP)
Ask the class: If you are King Barom-Mai, how would you make your wife love you back?

When the king met the hermit, the hermit said to him to get three things: the egg
of the black tabon, twelve ladles of white carabao’s milk, and the nectar from the flower of
the tree-of-make believe. The egg would soften the heart of the queen, the milk would make
her kind and the nectar would make her see the king as young and handsome.

(STOP)
Ask the class: What do you think will King Barom-Mai and hermit do with these things? What
are the clues?

Pawikan, king of the sea turtles, helped him secure the tabon’s egg. The king also
easily got the milk through his cook. He get the flower with the help of Hangin-Bai, an air
nymph, leads him to her sister, the wood nymph who had the magic flower on her hair. He
gave the three things to the hermit who mixed the nectar, the milk, and the egg together and
told him to plant it. And it grew into a durian tree and bear fruits.

(STOP)
Ask the class: What will happen if King Barom-Mai brings the fruit to his wife? Do you think
his wife will return and live with him in their kingdom?
 He brought the fruit to his wife and she ate it. After eating, she fell in love with
the king who looked young and handsome. They returned to their kingdom and celebrated
but the king forgot to invite the hermit.

(STOP)
Ask the class: How would the hermit feel when he knew about the celebration without him
being invited? Why do you think so? What do you think the hermit would do?

The hermit was so angry, for they forgot to invite and thank him. Furious he was,
he cursed that the delicious fruit will have a foul odor and be covered with thorns. Since then
the Durian fruit is thorny but delicious.

(STOP)
Ask the class: What have you learned from the story?

2. Engagement Activities II: Discussion (Whole Class)

Put up a properly labeled flow chart like the one shown. As each situation is discussed, have pupils tape the appropriate
portion of the chart.

* Can you tell us something about King Barom-Mai? How about

his main problem?
Group 1, can you tell us more about his letter and your The Legend
suggestion/s?
of Durian
* Since the Queen ran away from their kingdom, what did King
Barom-Mai do and what had his advisers been telling him?
Problem 1
(Group 2 presents output: Bubble Tweets)

* What did King Barom-Mai do to solve his problem? Will the Solution 1
hermit help him find the solution? Group 3 will show us.
(Group 3 dramatizes the scene where King Barom-Mai
gathered ingredients and hermit mixed it together to make a Problem 2
love potion. )
- We know that King Barom-Mai has a major problem with his
looks. Was it easy for him to make his queen fall in love with Solution 2
him?
- What can you do to show your love for someone?
Problem 3
- Can you repay the love someone has given you? How?

(Graphic Organizer)
B. Teaching

C. Guided Practice (Whole Class)

* Let the pupils read the paragraph and ask them the type of graphic organizer to be used.

Dropping Out

For many students, there are many factors that lead them to drop out of school.
The first cause is that they lack positive role models in their lives. Another factor that cause
student to give up on school is lack of determination. The third and final factor is peer
pressure.

* Let the student determine the appropriate graphic organizer to be used and fill out
information into the chart.

D. Curriculum Connections (Small Groups)

Directions: Read the text carefully and determine the type of graphic organizer to use. Then
put the information into it.

* SCIENCE (Life Cycle of a Butterfly) Cycle Map

Butterflies go through a life cycle. There are four stages. The first stage is the eggs. This is
where a girl butterfly lays eggs. She lays them on a leaf. The second stage is the caterpillar. This
is where the eggs hatch. It takes about five days for the eggs to hatch. A caterpillar then comes
out. At this stage, the caterpillar eats all the time. It also grows really fast. Once it is all the way
grown, the third stage starts. This stage is the chrysalis. The caterpillar makes a chrysalis. The
caterpillar is inside the chrysalis. Inside the chrysalis, it starts to change. It soon changes into a
butterfly. Once the caterpillar has changed into a butterfly, the fourth stage starts. This is also
that last stage in the life cycle. The fourth stage is the butterfly. A butterfly comes out of the
chrysalis. It can now learn to fly. It can also find a mate. When it finds a mate, it lays eggs.
Then the lifecycle process starts all over again.

Padigosan is a festival in Digos featuring activities like lechon parade, street dancing,
trade fair, and sports competition. The celebration commemorates the founding of Digos into
a municipality back in July 19, 1949.
The name of the festival is derived from the term padigos, which means "to take a
bath". Moreover, the city name Digos also has the same origin. The use of such a term dates
back to a story of a settler having a short conversation with a native. The settler asked the
native "What is this the name of this place?". Having thought that the settler asked "Where are
you going?", the native answered "padigos" - which meant that he was about to take a bath
in the river. With the native's reply, the settler thought that the name of the place was
Padigos. Later, the name evolved to Digos.

E. Application (Independent Practice)

Direction: Read the paragraph about nests and houses. Determine how it is structures by its
type. Then, put the information from each text into an appropriate graphic organizer.

Nests and Houses

You already know that there are major differences between a house and a nest.
In contrast to a house, a nest is small and has only one room. Another difference is that a house
is usually for people while a nest is for birds. However, you might be surprised to find out that
nests and houses have some things that are the same. For example, both nests and houses
provide shelter. Another similarity, is that both use trees in their construction. Birds use sticks
and twigs while people use lumber from trees. Last, they are alike because they take up
space, although a house usually takes up more space than a nest!

IV. Evaluation (What’s My Pattern?)

Directions: Read the text and determine how it is structured by telling its pattern of
organization. Then, put the information from each text into an appropriate graphic organizer.
The following graphic organizers are examples. (5pts)

Description Sequence Cause and Effect Compare & Contrast

The lion is often thought of as the king of the jungle, but the African wild dog may be a
better hunter. Both lions and African wild dogs are pack animals and have females lead their
hunts, but they have different hunting styles. Although lions are very fast, they do not have
stamina. They attack in short, ferocious bursts because they get tired quickly. On the other
hand, African wild dogs are not very fast, but they have incredible stamina. They can run for
hours and often chase their prey to exhaustion. Dr. George Schaller studied African dogs in the
Serengiti and found that 9 out of 10 hunts ended in kills, while lions are only successful in 3 out
of 10 hunts. So you see, it’s not always good to be king. (Compare and Contrast Chart)
