A Filipino is a respectful
person. He calls older brother
“kuya” and older sister “ate”.
He kisses the hands of his
parents and grandparents. He
is always using “po” and
“opo”. He shows respect to
parents, elders and people in
authority.
One night, a fox met a wolf in the forest. The wolf was very
hungry and in a terrible mood. So the wolf said to the fox.
“Don’t move! I’m going to eat you this minute.”
As he spoke, the wolf backed the fox up against a tree. The
fox realized she could not run away.
“I have to use my wits instead of my legs,” she said to
herself.
“I could have been a good dinner for you last year. I was then
very fat and plump. But I had three babies then. Now I’m slim
and not delicious.”
“I don’t care if you are plump or not. I don’t care how many
babies you have. I’m going to eat you right now!”
My Mother Dear
Tooth Fairy
Jenny snuggled under for blanket with her eyes wide open.
“I will stay awake. Oh, I want to see the fairy,” she muttered
sleepily.
Before going to bed that night, Jenny put the tooth under her
pillow to see whether a fairy would take it away and leaved a
surprise in its place. She wanted to stay awake, but her eyelids
drooped and closed.
The room was still quiet. Then, a tinkle, like the sound of a
music box, filled the air. Out of the darkness, the shiniest little
fairy any could imagine, floated into the room. She knelt down
beside Jenny’s pillow and found the hidden tooth.
Before she opened her eyes, Jenny reached under the pillow.
She was surprised when she felt something there. When she saw
the coin, she sat up smiling.
“Mother,” she cried, “did the fairy come or was I dreaming?”
Mother smiled and said, “You want to believe that she came,
don’t you? So why don’t we just make believe that she did?”
“But I saw her, Mother. I just don’t know how. I wish I didn’t fall
asleep,” she said winking at Mother. “Oh, well, I still have baby
teeth anyway!”

A Bundle of Sticks
Once upon a time, an old man lived with his three sons
in a village. All his three sons were hard workers. Still, none
of them agreed with each other and quarreled all the time.
The old man tried a lot to unite them but he failed. While the
villagers were surprised at their hard work and efforts, they
also made fun of them on their fights.
