Kabayan and his wife had a lengthy and stressful discussion about what they should wish for. Kabayan wanted
to wish for a great amount of money, but his wife thought they should wish for an abundant supply of rice. It
was simply impossible for them to have an agreement. Finally, Kabayan became so annoyed with his wife that
he said, “ I wish you would turn into a monkey!”

Text 3 is for question 48 – 50

When we buy a mobile phone, we have to consider a few points. Doing so, we will be able to make a
wise decision.
If we decide to buy a mobile phone, we can start asking ourselves why we want the equipment. We may
ask, “ Do we want it for our prestige or for its usefulness?”
After we decide to use a mobile phone, we should make a choice on the type of mobile phone. With the
various choice in the market, we should decide the one that meets our needs. We must know what we
need.
As a consequence of its high operational costs, we have to pay more for a mobile phone compared to a
fixed telephone. That is why we have to think carefully before we decide to use it. Therefore, we only
use the mobile phone for important talks. It will not be to use it for a chat with a friend.
With the all the consequences of the mobile phone, we indeed should give serious considerations before
using it. They are:
1. Ask yourself, “Do I really need it at the moment?”
2. Buy the mobile phone that suits your budget.
3. Prioritize the function of the mobile phone, rather than its features
4. Use the mobile phone for important talks.
