Dave’s Bean by Lois Sepahban

“Beans need sun and water to grow,” said Dave’s mom. She gave him a jar.
First, Dave put a napkin in the jar. Next, he put some water on the napkin. Last,
he put the lid on the jar. Dave set the jar near a window. The sun warmed the jar. The sun
warmed the beans. In two days, Dave saw tiny white shoots.
“The beans sprouted,” he said.
“The shoots will be the beans’ roots,” said Dave’s mom.
The shoots grew long and green. The next morning he woke up to a busted jar
and a beanstalk out into the sky. Dave climbed the beanstalk and was met by a giant. The giant

Exercise 5: Read Aesop’s story The Lion and the Mouse below and identify whether the
statements that follow are fact or non-fact based on the story. Write F in the blank provided for
fact and NF for non-fact.
A Lion lay asleep in the forest, his great head resting on his paws. A timid little Mouse
came upon him unexpectedly, and in her fright and haste to get away, she ran across the Lion's
nose. Roused from his nap, the Lion laid his huge paw angrily on the tiny creature to kill her.
"Spare me!" begged the poor Mouse. "Please let me go and someday I will surely repay
you."
The Lion was much amused to think that a Mouse could ever help him. But he was
generous and finally let the Mouse go.
Some days later, while stalking his prey in the forest, the Lion was caught in the toils of a
hunter's net. Unable to free himself, he filled the forest with his angry roaring. The Mouse knew
the voice and quickly found the Lion struggling in the net. Running to one of the great ropes
that bound him, she gnawed it until it parted, and soon the Lion was free.
"You laughed when I said I would repay you," said the Mouse. "Now you see that even a
Mouse can help a Lion."

Exercise 6: Read the selection below and copy at least 5 sentences that state a fact and 5
sentences that state an opinion. Write your answer in the appropriate column in the table
below the selection.
Summer in the Philippines is always hot. Generally, we feel the extreme hot weather in
March, April and May. During the months of April and May, children enjoy their summer
vacation. People do various activities to overcome the hot weather. Some people swim in the
beach. Others stay dipped in the swimming pool. Those who have much go for a vacation
specifically in Baguio City and Tagaytay.
For this year’s vacation, I think it is best to stay home. I think staying indoors in a room
with refreshing air conditioner is all we need. If this is not enough, maybe an inflatable pool can
help relieve humidity. Eating ice cream and drinking cold drinks could also make everyone
happy. If my parents would ask me about my preferences this summer, I think I would definitely
choose to stay inside my room. My brother thinks the same way. He believes resting at home is
better than travelling.
