Our Mother Tongue

Jose Rizal

If truly a people dearly love

The tongue to them by Heaven sent,
They'll surely yearn for liberty
Like a bird above in the firmament.

Because by its language one can judge

A town, a barrio, and kingdom;
And like any other created thing
Every human being loves his freedom.

One who doesn't love his native tongue,

Is worse than putrid fish and beast;
And like a truly precious thing
It therefore deserves to be cherished.

The Tagalog language's akin to Latin,

To English, Spanish, angelical tongue;
For God who knows how to look after us
This language He bestowed us upon.

As others, our language is the same

With alphabet and letters of its own,
It was lost because a storm did destroy
On the lake the bangka 1 in years bygone.

Activity 2. Read the story “The Creation” and make a summary through plot
analysis.

The Creation
Igorot

In the beginning there were no people on the earth.

Lumawig, the Great Spirit, came down from the sky and cut many reeds. He
divided these into pairs which he placed in different parts of the world, and
then he said to them, "You must speak."

Immediately the reeds became people, and in each place was a man and a
woman who could talk, but the language of each couple differed from that of
the others.

12
Then Lumawig commanded each man and woman to marry, which they did.
By and by there were many children, all speaking the same language as their
parents. These, in turn, married and had many children. In this way there
came to be many people on the earth.

Now Lumawig saw that there were several things which the people on the
earth needed to use, so he set to work to supply them. He created salt, and
told the inhabitants of one place to boil it down and sell it to their neighbors.
But these people could not understand the directions of the Great Spirit, and
the next time he visited them, they had not touched the salt.

Then he took it away from them and gave it to the people of a place called
Mayinit. These did as he directed, and because of this he told them that they
should always be owners of the salt, and that the other peoples must buy of
them.

Then Lumawig went to the people of Bontoc and told them to get clay and
make pots. They got the clay, but they did not understand the molding, and
the jars were not well shaped. Because of their failure, Lumawig told them
that they would always have to buy their jars, and he removed the pottery to
Samoki. When he told the people there what to do, they did just as he said,
and their jars were well shaped and beautiful. Then the Great Spirit saw that
they were fit owners of the pottery, and he told them that they should always
make many jars to sell.

In this way Lumawig taught the people and brought to them all the things
which they now have.

Activity 3. Read the story, The Hare and The Tortoise. In your activity notebook,
write the lesson you learned from the story.
A Hare was making fun of the Tortoise
one day for being so slow.

"Do you ever get anywhere?" he asked

with a mocking laugh.
"Yes," replied the Tortoise, "and I get there
sooner than you think. I'll run you a race
and prove it."
The Hare was much amused at the idea
of running a race with the Tortoise, but for the fun of the thing he agreed. So the
Fox, who had consented to act as judge, marked the distance and started the runners
off.
The Hare was soon far out of sight, and to make the Tortoise feel very deeply how
ridiculous it was for him to try a race with a Hare, he lay down beside the course to
take a nap until the Tortoise should catch up.

The Tortoise meanwhile kept going slowly but steadily, and, after a time, passed the
place where the Hare was sleeping. But the Hare slept on very peacefully; and when
at last he did wake up, the Tortoise was near the goal. The Hare now ran his swiftest,
but he could not overtake the Tortoise in time.

Activity 2. Read the story below and answer the questions that follow.

A long time ago, in a far-away village, lived a

little girl name Filipina but most people call her Pina.
Pina was still young when her parents died so her Aunt
Marta adopted so she can have a place to live in.
Pina is a kind, hard-working and enduring while her
Aunt Martha is lazy, mean and easygoing. When Pina
was still young, she got sick but her Aunt Martha did not let her see a doctor and be
treated. It became a reason for her eyes to be hazy. She was forced to quit school

17
because she can’t seem to read the lectures anymore. She simply satisfied herself by
doing house chores and playing with other children.
Months has passed, Pina’s eyes became even more blurry. She was almost blind.
Most of the time, while they were playing hide and seek, the naughty kids do not find
places to hide at all. Instead, they just stand near Pina. Because she can’t clearly see
them anymore, the naughty kids were pinching her body while calling her names.
Pina was just enduring all the nasty treatment everyone is giving her.

One day while Pina was playing outside her Aunt Martha called angrily. “Pina, wash
the dishes in the kitchen! You are such a lazy kid!” cried Aunt Martha. “After you
clean the dishes make sure to wash the clothes!”

Quickly, Pina left the things she was playing with and went to the kitchen to wash
the dishes. Because of her sight, she accidentally tipped the other glasses and dishes
over causing it to break. When Aunt Martha saw the mess she became furious. She
took the broom and bashed it on Pina’s legs.

“You are so stupid! Your head should be surrounded by eyes so you can see
everything near you!” yelled Aunt Martha while she still kept on bashing Pina with a
broom.
“Aunt Martha, please forgive me. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do that” cried Pina. But
Aunt Martha doesn’t seem to hear. She even bashed Pina with greater intense than
before.
When Pina could not tolerate the pain anymore, she ran outside while crying and
went to the near woods. It was already dawn yet Pina hasn’t returned. “I bet she’ll
come back if she’s hungry” said Aunt Martha to herself.
The next day came and Pina was not yet home. Aunt Martha suddenly became
worried so she asked the help of the other children to come and look for Pina. But
she was nowhere to be found. Some thought that she was kept by the fairy in the
woods that pitied her.
Few more days had passed but Pina never returned. One morning, everybody was
surprised to see a plant grew at the front of Aunt Martha’s house. It has a head-
shaped fruit and surrounded by something that resembles to the appearance of the
eyes. Aunt Martha remembered what she said to Pina before she scolded her: “! Your
head should be surrounded by eyes so you can see everything near you!”
“It is Pina!” one neighbor mumbled.
One of the naughty kids curiously went near the plant. But when he tried to touch
it, he was pricked by the thorns at the end of the leaves. They recalled the nasty
treatment they gave Pina. “It really is Pina,” said the naughty kid.
”She doesn’t want anyone to get near her. We used to pinch Pina, now she’s getting
back at us!” said by the other children.
“It is her Pina! It is her Pina!” everybody shouted loudly while they were all pointing
at Aunt Martha.
Since then, when neighbors pass by the plant and the fruit that shapes like a head
with lots of eyes in it, they can’t help but say Pina’s name. Eventually, the name
evolved into the word Pinya – Philippine’s local word for pineapple.
