Before you sit down, please pick up the pieces of


trash around you. Class Secretary, Are there any
absentees for today?
Good morning, Ma’am. I am happy that
there are no absentees today.
That’s good! Thank you, Levi. Let me remind
everyone to sit properly because we are about
to begin our class.

How is everyone by the way?


I am feeling good, Ma’am.
Why are you feeling good today, Ayessa?
I had a good sleep last night.

Oh! That’s good to hear. Have you done the


assignment I gave last class?
Yes, Ma’am.
How about you, Josh? How are you?
I am excited for today’s class, Ma’am.

Josh, I'm glad to hear that. Before we start


checking your assignment, please give these
papers to everyone, class president.

Please bring out your assignments.

2. Recapitulation

The homework I assigned you yesterday was to


watch "The Six Blind Men and the Elephant".
Prepare the texts I asked that you find as well
for our group activity. Later, we'll make use of
that. Today, let us listen to everyone's answers.
Anthony, read the direction.
Directions: Identify the characters, setting,
and problem in "The Six Blind Men and the
Elephant". Then fill in the story web except
“solution” and the “moral of the story”.

City of Malolos

Read the first question and say your answer,


Liza? Who’s in the story? The characters in the
story are the six blind men and the elephant.
Good job, Liza. Martin, answer the second
question. Where did the story take place? The story
took place in the country of Indostan or
commonly known as India.
You’re right, Martin. Sara, what’s your answer
for question 3?
What's the characters' problem? The story's
characters each described the elephant in
their own unique ways.
Exactly! I’ve asked you to leave the “solution”
and “moral of the story” fields blank so that we
can all work together to guess what happened
to the six blind men.

(The teacher presented a new story web on the


board)

Ronnie, what do you see on the board?


I see a different story web. There are three
images pointing to "solution." And the moral
of the story and solution are still unfinished.

4 | Page
Republic of the Philippines
Bulacan State University
College of Education
City of Malolos

Can you guess the possible solution using these


images? Mary, may I hear your thoughts on
this? Mary: The six blind men, I think, learned to
respect one another's opinions. Together,
they solved the mystery of what the elephant
looked like.
Mary, that's a good point. Let's check to see if
you're right.

(The teacher then plays the continuation of the


story to reveal the solution to the problem)

Wow, Mary’s guess is on point. With the use of


all this information, is it possible to determine
the moral of the story?
Whole class: Yes!

Justin, what do you think is the moral of this


story?
Listen to and accept the ideas of others.
Because when you begin to listen, you will
realize that the most difficult problems
cannot be solved alone, but with the help of
others.
Justin, I agree with you! Class, how did you
figure out what happened next in the story?
Ma'am, I figured it out because you provided
us with hints.
Yes, hints or clues can help you in predicting
what will happen in the story. Let's now put
your prediction skills to the test.

Pre-Reading

1. Activating Prior Knowledge

There are three situations shown on the board.


Larry, please read the instructions.
There are three unfinished situations on the
board. Based on the image, predict what has
happened and will happen.

Republic of the Philippines
Bulacan State University

City of Malolos

Let's first define "predict" before we begin this


task.

Here's a scenario for you. "I guess it will rain


today because the sky is dark."

Am I certain it will rain today? Susan, what do


you think?
No, ma'am. You said that you only guessed
it.
Is there any proof I might find to make such a
guess? Yes, ma'am. You noticed that the sky was
dark.
That is correct! We observe our surroundings
when we predict something will happen.

Maria, please read the definition of


“prediction”
A prediction is a statement
about what someone thinks
will happen in the future.

(The teacher will transform into a psychic)


Welcome, Welcome! This is the ‘Crystal ball
gazer!’ I am your psychic, Madam Auring. I’m
going to find psychics in this class. To help me
find them, here are three situations that they
need to solve. What do you see in these
pictures?
Ma’am, in the first picture, I see a girl sitting
on something and there’s a seal behind her.

Ma’am, in the second picture I can see a


motorcycle and a truck.

Ma’am, in the last picture, there’s a news


reporter and a car behind him.
Good observation! Let’s find the psychics now.

6 | Page
Republic of the Philippines
Bulacan State University
College of Education
City of Malolos

Who would like to try? Who would like to know


if they are psychics?

I would like to try, Ma’am.

Read the first situation, Karla


My family and I visited an ocean park. First,
we watched a dolphin show. Then we went to
see the seals. When I was in the boat, a seal
approached us. I sat across from my father
on the boat. After that…
When do you think the missing part occurs—
before, during, or after?
After. Because of the phrase “After that.”
Okay. Now, let’s hear your prediction.
After that, I fell into the water because I was
surprised by the seal behind me.

What made you think she fell into the water?

She didn't notice the seal because she was


facing the other side, which is why I think she
was surprised when it approached her. It
would be my initial reaction if a seal
That's a pretty sensible answer. As you imagined approached me behind without me noticing
yourself in her situation, you made a guess
based on your own knowledge.

Let’s move on to the next situation. Read the


text, Tony.
My brother took his brand-new motorcycle
out for a ride to visit his girlfriend on a
bright Tuesday afternoon. He's a reckless
and fast driver. Unfortunately, instead of
rushing to his girlfriend's house, he was
rushed to the hospital. Because prior to
that…
When do you think the missing part occurs—
before, during, or after?
Before. Because “prior” is the same as
“before”

Okay. Now, let’s hear your prediction.


Because prior to that he had been hit by a
huge truck.

Why did you assume he was hit by a truck,


Tony? The information from the text and the photo
helped me realize what happened to him
before he was rushed to the hospital.

8 | Page
Republic of the Philippines
Bulacan State University
College of Education
City of Malolos

That’s a possibility! Now, let’s listen to Alex.


Last night, I watched the sports news. I'm a
big fan of car drifting tournaments. The
news reporter was reporting live. By the
time he was going to finish his report…
When do you think the missing part occurs—
before, during, or after?
During. Because of the phrase “by the
time.”
Okay. Now, let’s hear your prediction.
By the time he was going to finish his report,
he was slammed by the sports car behind
him.
What makes you think that?
I figured it out using the picture and the
details from the text.
I'm impressed by your predicting skills. Now
it's time to prepare ourselves by unlocking the
difficult words that we'll encounter in today's
story

(The teacher will transform back to being


teacher)

2. Unlocking Difficulties
On the board are sentences that use unfamiliar
words, below them are pictures that you can
use as a basis to identify the meaning of the
underlined unfamiliar words.

9 | Page
Republic of the Philippines
Bulacan State University
College of Education
City of Malolos

(The teacher will post the visual aid.)

Could you please read the sentences, Ashley?


1.
- Please, let me apply for a job. I don't want
to be a burden to you.
- We are already busy with the activities that
we have, an additional homework will just be
a burden to us.

(an allowance, a heavy load/thing to deal


with, an important matter)
Now based on the sentences and the picture
below, what do you think is the meaning of the
word "burden"?
Ma'am, judging the image, I think the word
"burden" means a heavy load that you have
to carry or deal with.
Aside from the picture, what word or phrase
served as your clue in identifying the meaning
of the underlined word?
The phrase "additional homework" gave me
a hint.
What does the phrase "additional homework
indicate? The phrase indicates extra work to do or to
comply with.
Oh, how about using it in a sentence, Ashley.
I will finish my activity as early as possible
so it will not become a burden later on.

10 | P a g e
Republic of the Philippines
Bulacan State University
College of Education
City of Malolos

Nice example, Ashley! Time management is the


key!

How about the next one? Levi?


2.
- With a smile on my face, I am pleased to
announce that all of you passed my subject! -
- Congratulations! I am pleased to inform
you that there will be a salary increase!
(happy, depressed, disappointed)
Now, what could be the meaning of the word
"pleased"? Yes, Levi.
Ma'am, judging the picture, I think the word
"pleased" is another word for saying that
you are happy.
Good guess! Aside from the picture are there
any word or phrase that helped you guess its
meaning?
The word "smile" and the phrase "salary
increase" served as my clues.
Nice! Could you use it on a sentence?
I am pleased to see you after all these years,
my friend!
Now, that's what I call true friendship! Thank
you, Levi!

3.

Let's proceed to the next one, would you mind


reading and answering it, Josh?
- She was very frightened when she saw a
pack of wolves.
- I was very frightened when I heard the
alarm bell. (scared, excited, happy)
I wonder what's the meaning of the word
"frightened". Yes, Josh.
Ma'am, based on the context of the sentences
and by judging the picture, I think frightened
means being scared of something.
Very well said! Which part of the sentences
helped you guess the meaning?
The phrase "pack of wolves" and "alarm
bell" served as my clues, because if ever that
I see a pack of wolves or if I hear an alarm
bell, I will also be scared.

That's a good observation! Could you please


construct your own sentence using the word I was very frightened when I broke our
"frightened"? flower vase.

I hope you will not get scolded by your mother


for that. Hahahaha. Nice example, Josh!

4.

Let's proceed. Ayessa, please read and answer


the next number. - My dog and cat are two of my best
companions in life.
- Ezekiel and Carlo are my favorite
companions in our section, we are always
there for each other.
(people/animals whom you spend time with,
mortal enemies, strangers)

Ma'am, seeing the picture and reading the


context, I think the word "companions" are
those people or animals whom you spend
your time with. They are the ones who are
always with you.
Correct! Aside from the picture, what phrases
or words served as your clues?
The phrases "dog and cat" and "we are
always there for each other" served as my
hint in guessing their meaning. I also spend
most of my time with my pets and friends,
they are always with me.
Now, that is touching! Please use it in a
sentence, Ayessa.
My friends are good companions, they
always care for me.

13 | P a g e
Republic of the Philippines
Bulacan State University
College of Education
City of Malolos

How sweet! We all need companions in our life.


Thank you, Ayessa!

How about for the last one? Yes, Ryan.


5.
- The meat that I ordered was slightly
charred. So, I had to complain.
- I forgot the bread in the toaster, as a
result, it came out charred.
(soft and tender, burned, nicely cooked)

Ma'am, judging the picture, I think the word


"charred" is another way of saying
"burned".

Very good! Are there words or phrases in the


sentence that served as your clues?
The phrases "I had to complain" and "I
forgot the bread in the toaster" gave me a
hint. Based on the sentence, if the person had
to complain about the food, then maybe it
was badly cooked. Also, if you forgot your
bread in the toaster, it will get burned.
Good observation! Now, please use the word
"charred" in a sentence, Ryan.
The rice was badly charred because I forgot
about it.

14 | P a g e

Yikes! It's dangerous, please don't leave the


stove when you are cooking. Anyway, nice
example, Ryan!

3. Developing a Purpose for Reading

I hope you're still awake! Here are two


questions I'd like to ask you. Rocky, can you
read and answer the first question?
(a) Motivation question:

What was the craziest thing you’ve ever


done so far?
(Read the question) Ma'am, I remember
when I was eight years old, I shaved my chin
and it ended up bleeding.
Yikes! It must hurt a lot!
Ma'am, mine is even crazier, I once added a
blue food coloring to the sinigang that my
mom was cooking.
Goodness, hahahahaha

(b) Motive question:

What consequences did the characters


in the story suffer as a result of their
blind trust?

For the second question, I'd like everyone to jot


it down in your notebooks. I'd like you to keep
this question in mind while we explored our
lesson today. I'm going to ask you this question
by the end of the class.

B. During Reading
1. Presentation
For this lesson, we will:

● extract key details from the narrative;


● deduce the narrative’s message through
a story web;
● employ prior knowledge and key details
to make inferences;
● predict the consequences of trusting
strangers;

Could you please read the goals for today,


Ryan?
(Read the objectives)
Earlier, I distributed a copy of the text that we
will read today. Get your copies ready. Suzy,
what is the title of the text?
The Seven Crazy Fellows

Thank you, Suzy! Class, please focus your


attention on the board. What do you see?

A story web!

16 | P a g e
Republic of the Philippines
Bulacan State University
College of Education
City of Malolos

Yes! What differentiates this story web from the


one from your assignment? What do you think?
The characters, setting, problem, and
solution are already filled in with words.
Yes! Read the instructions, Sam.
In your notebooks, write down your
prediction about the story, “The Seven Crazy
Fellows” using the words as clues.
Thank you, Sam! You have 5 minutes to write
your prediction. You may start now.
(After 5 minutes)
Jhaboy, read your prediction.
One day, the seven crazy men went
swimming in the Cagayan River. One man
eventually wandered off and ended up on the
wrong side of the river. He saw an old man
and asked for help. Finally, he was reunited
with his companions.
Your prediction is plausible. For others, don't
worry if you weren't given the chance to read
your predictions; I will read them all. Since I
asked you to write it down in your notebooks.

Now, let us read the questions first then the


story, "The Seven Crazy Fellows" together.
(READ ALOUD ACTIVITY)
(Students read the main text together)

The Seven Crazy Fellows


Narrated by Cipriano Serafica

Once there were living in the country in the


northern part of Luzon seven crazy fellows,
named Juan, Felipe, Mateo, Pedro,
Francisco, Eulalio, and Jacinto. They were
happy all the day long.
One morning Felipe asked his friends to go
fishing. They staid at the Cagayan River a

17 | P a g e
Republic of the Philippines
Bulacan State University
College of Education
City of Malolos

long time. About two o’clock in the afternoon


Mateo said to his companions, “We are
hungry; let us go home!”

“Before we go,” said Juan, “let us count


ourselves, to see that we are all here!” He
counted; but because he forgot to count
himself, he found that they were only six, and
said that one of them had been drowned.
Thereupon they all dived into the river to
look for their lost companion; and when they
came out, Francisco counted to see if he had
been found; but he, too, left himself out, so in
they dived again. Jacinto said that they
should not go home until they had found the
one who was lost. While they were diving, an
old man passed by. He asked the fools what
they were diving for. They said that one of
them had been drowned.

“How many were you at first?” said the old


man.

They said that they were seven.

“All right,” said the old man. “Dive in, and


I will count you.” They dived, and he found
that they were seven. Since he had found
their lost companion, he asked them to come
with him.

When they reached the old man’s house, he


selected Mateo and Francisco to look after
his old wife; Eulalio he chose to be water-
carrier; Pedro, cook; Jacinto, wood-
carrier; and Juan and Felipe, his
companions in hunting.

18 | P a g e
Republic of the Philippines
Bulacan State University
College of Education
City of Malolos

When the next day came, the old man said


that he was going hunting, and he told Juan
and Felipe to bring along rice with them. In
a little while they reached the mountains,
and he told the two fools to cook the rice at
ten o’clock. He then went up the mountain
with his dogs to catch a deer. Now, his two
companions, who had been left at the foot of
the mountain, had never seen a deer. When
Felipe saw a deer standing under a tree, he
thought that the antlers of the deer were the
branches of a small tree without leaves: so
he hung his hat and bag of rice on them, but
the deer immediately ran away. When the old
man came back, he asked if the rice was
ready. Felipe told him that he had hung his
hat and the rice on a tree that ran away. The
old man was angry, and said, “That tree you
saw was the antlers of a deer. We’ll have to
go home now, for we have nothing to eat.”

Meanwhile the five crazy fellows who had


been left at home were not idle. Eulalio went
to get a pail of water. When he reached the
well and saw his image in the water, he
nodded, and the reflection nodded back at
him. He did this over and over again; until
finally, becoming tired, he jumped into the
water, and was drowned. Jacinto was sent to
gather small sticks, but he only destroyed the
fence around the garden. Pedro cooked a
chicken without removing the feathers. He
also let the chicken burn until it was as black
as coal. Mateo and Francisco tried to keep
the flies off the face of their old mistress.
They soon became tired, because the flies
kept coming back; so they took big sticks to
kill them with. When a fly lighted on the nose

19 | P a g e
Republic of the Philippines
Bulacan State University
College of Education
City of Malolos

of the old woman, they struck at it so hard


that they killed her. She died with seemingly
a smile on her face. The two fools said to
each other that the old woman was very
much pleased that they had killed the fly.

When the old man and his two companions


reached home, the old man asked Pedro if
there was any food to eat. Pedro said that it
was in the pot. The old man looked in and
saw the charred chicken and feathers. He
was very angry at the cook. Then he went in
to see his wife, and found her dead. He asked
Mateo and Francisco what they had done to
the old woman. They said that they had only
been killing flies that tried to trouble her,
and that she was very much pleased by their
work.

The next thing the crazy fellows had to do


was to make a coffin for the dead woman;
but they made it flat, and in such a way that
there was nothing to prevent the corpse from
falling off. The old man told them to carry
the body to the church; but on their way they
ran, and the body rolled off the flat coffin.
They said to each other that run- ning was a
good thing, for it made their burden lighter.

When the priest found that the corpse was


missing, he told the six crazy fellows to go
back and get the body. While they were
walking toward the house, they saw an old
woman picking up sticks by the roadside.
“Old woman, what are you doing here?”
they said. “The priest wants to see you.”
While they were binding her, she cried out to
her husband, “Ah! here are some bad boys

20 | P a g e
Republic of the Philippines
Bulacan State University
College of Education
City of Malolos

trying to take me to the church.” But her


husband said that the crazy fellows were
only trying to tease her. When they reached
the church with this old woman, the priest,
who was also crazy, performed the burial-
ceremony over her. She cried out that she
was alive; but the priest answered that since
he had her burial-fee, he did not care
whether she was alive or not. So they buried
this old woman in the ground.

When they were returning home, they saw


the corpse that had fallen from the coffin on
their way to the church. Francisco cried that
it was the ghost of the old woman. Terribly
frightened, they ran away in different
directions, and became scattered all over
Luzon.

How accurate are your predictions? Are they at


least close to what the narrative is about?

Similarly, to our first task, we will deduce the


message of the text by answering questions
about it and filling up the story web. Let's now
dig deeper into our story.

2. Discussion

a. Literal Dimension
(1) What are the names of the seven crazy
fellows? (Characters)
The names of the seven crazy fellows are
Felipe, Mateo, Pedro, Francisco, Eulalio,
and Jacinto

21 | P a g e
Republic of the Philippines
Bulacan State University
College of Education
City of Malolos

An old man helped them. He counted the


seven crazy fellows and brought them to his
house.

(2) Who helped them? What did he do


(Characters) Yes, the other characters in the story are the
old man’s wife, the priest, and the old
woman picking up sticks.

(3) Are there other characters in the story?


(Characters) In the countryside of northern Luzon and the
Cagayan River.

(4) Where did the story take place?


(Setting)

They thought one of their companions had


drowned. They counted themselves, but they
b. Inferential/Interpretive Dimension always left one out.
(1) What may have caused the seven
friends to spend far too much time at the
river? (Problem)
When an old man helped them in counting,
they stopped searching for their lost friend.

(2) What caused them to abandon their


search for their presumed missing
companion? (Solution)

In the case of the old man, I disagree with


his decision. My parents usually warn me not

old man to take the seven crazy fellows
with him to his house? (Key detail 1)

22 | P a g e
Republic of the Philippines
Bulacan State University
College of Education
City of Malolos

I think there were consequences. When the


seven crazy fellows trusted the old man, in
my opinion, it was a very gullible thing to

accepted the old man's invitation to go
to his house? (Key details 2)

I agree. Misfortunes are caused by either


wrong decisions or bad people.

(3) Do you think that blind trust was to


blame for the misfortunes? If I were the old man, I would help the crazy
(Key detail 3) fellows but in a different way. I will not take
advantage of them; instead, I will educate
them not to be gullible.
d. Application Dimension
(1) If you were the old man, would you
help the crazy fellows or just ignore
them? I don't think I'd trust the old man if I were
one of the crazy fellows. If I needed help, I
would turn to people I know and trust.

(2) Would you trust the old man if you


were one of the crazy fellows that After reading the text, I discovered that blind
needed help? trust has consequences. Because of this, it is
important to get to know someone before
putting our complete trust in them.
e. Creative Dimension
(1) What do you think the story's message
is? (Message of the story) I can relate to the seven crazy men since I
am a gullible person. Others think I'm crazy
because I easily trust people. As a result, I
am often hurt by the wrong people I trust.

23 | P a g e
Republic of the Philippines

City of Malolos

(2) Which character in the story do you find


closely resembles yourself when
trusting others?

I think that predicting what will happen can


be helpful. That’s why I believe it is helpful.
We can observe people's actions and tone of
speech. By doing so, we can tell whether or
not the person is honest.

(3) What do you think you can do to


prevent the consequences of blindly
trusting others? Do you think that
predicting the outcomes would be
helpful? In what sense?

Yes, observing these elements can help us


identify key details. These details help us in
identifying the main idea of a text. After
figuring out the message of the story, let us
further exercise your organizing and predicting
skills in the next activity.
Whole class: Yes, ma’am!
3. Engagement Activity

(The students were divided into 6 groups the


day before the session. Each group consist of
seven people)

Is everyone in their respective groups?

(The teacher will give each group a copy of


“The Scar that Never Heals”)

“The Scar that Never Heals”

I was once an innocent teen longing for a friend


whom I can really trust, a shoulder to lean on.
However, it seemed impossible for me to find a
companion at that time. For a start, who would
like to have a nerdy, clumsy friend like me? I
would always walk down in the hallway alone,
while I eat my sandwich in the corner, and wait
until 3 o'clock.

One day, I met a person that would forever


change the course of my life. On the 21st of
August, year 1965, a new student transferred in
our class his name is Juan. I had in mind this
thought that we would surely get along. First of
all, he is also a silent person just like me. It didn't
get too long before we became close friends. We
would always play, study, and eat together.
Perhaps, another reason why we always get along
is the sense of trust that we both have. Juan was
the first person that I ever trusted, and I was also
his first friend.

One summer afternoon, while walking in the


street of Tondo, I felt a sharp object thrusted into
my back. At last, he finally revealed his true
color. He said that he was always so envious of
me because I was always at the top of the class.
However, just when I was about to utter a word,
he stabbed himself. With tears on his face, he
apologized, and finally waved his final goodbye.
Until now, in my late 80's, it is not the scar that I
got from the knife that hurts the most, it is the scar
that I got from trusting for the first and last time.

Group number: ___________

The Crazy Old Man

Once there lived in the northern part of Luzon a crazy old


man, who did not know his name. But he was happy all
day long. One morning, he went fishing in the Cagayan
River. When afternoon came, he decided to go home
because he was hungry. As he was about to leave the
river, he encountered a problem. He could not remember
the way back home. Suddenly, he met seven men walking
by. The old man asked the seven fellows to help him find
his way back home. Should the seven men help the old
man?

(a) If yes, how would the seven fellows help the old
man and what would be the ending of their
decision?

(b) If no, what should the seven men do to avoid


getting involved with the old man and how
will the story end if they avoided the old man?

Group number: ___________

The Scar that Never Heals

Just when Juan is about to get the knife from


his pocket, all his sweet memories with the
protagonist flashed right in front of his very
eyes. His conscience stopped him from
stabbing his only friend. The two, then,
continued to walk until they got home and
became best friends forever.

(a) If you were Juan, would you hurt your


only friend to be at the top?
(b) Suppose you were the protagonist in the
story, would you forgive and trust your only
friend again?

D. Practice
1. Guided Practice

(Teacher presents the activity on the board)

Can you please read the instructions, Jimmy?

Directions: Read the following the passage.


Underline the sequential logical connectors and
indicate whether the event happened before,
during or after.
Thank you, Jimmy! Who wants to read the following
passage?

Yes, Millie.

Philip and his friends went fishing

Philip planned to go fishing with his friends early in


the morning. They counted themselves before they
leave for the fishing site. After counting themselves,
they went to the fishing site. They began fishing as
soon as they arrived at the fishing spot. They fished
all morning until late in the afternoon. They fished all
morning until late in the afternoon. The group of
friends decided to leave after hours of catching fish
because they were hungry. Before leaving the fishing
spot, they counted themselves. Julio, one of Philip's
buddies, needed to pee while Philip was counting. The
friends prepare to leave the fishing spot after Philip
has completed counting. Julio, on the other hand,
walked to a nearby tree to urinate, unaware that
Philip and his other friends were already departing.
When Philip and his buddies arrived home, he
counted once again and realized they were missing
one member. They became worried and went in
search of their missing friend. After a short while of
looking, a tricycle pulled up, and Julio grumpily got
out of it. The worried group of friends approached
Julio and apologized for leaving him.

Thank you, Millie! So, can anyone underline the


first logical connector? Before they leave for the fishing site, they
counted themselves before they leave to make
sure they are complete.

Yes, Luca. Please read the sentence where you


found a logical connector. (Luca underlines the logical connector ‘before’)

Can you please underline the logical connector


used in the sentence? Before, Ma’am.

What is the logical connector? The logical connector ‘before’ is used to indicate
that the event happened prior to a new event.

And what is the function of ‘before’ in the sentence? After counting themselves, they went to the fishing
site. The logical connector used in the sentence is
‘After’ which is used to indicate the following
event that happened.

You’re right, Luca! The logical connector before is


used to ‘connect’ what happened first to the next

Why (not)” Observe the use of logical
connectors to organize the events in your
story.

E. Generalization
Let us recall ourselves of the goals we set
before we begin the class earlier.

Please read the first objective, Jeric.


Extract key details from the narrative.
Did we achieve this goal?
Ma'am, yes. We read the story “The Seven
Crazy Fellows” and use a graphic organizer
to help us figure out how to extract and
arrange the details in the story.
How about the second goal, Lily? Were we
successful?
Ma'am, yes. We use the story web to
accomplish this goal, just as we did with the
first. Because of this, we were able to quickly
deduce the story's message.

Xavier, did we accomplish the third goal?


Yes, ma’am. I recall the task when you
provided us words as our clues and told us
to make guesses about what the story will be
about. We guessed using key details and our
prior knowledge.
Kassy, which part of the lesson did we work to
achieve the fourth goal? It happens during the discussion, ma'am.

35 | P a g e
Republic of the Philippines
Bulacan State University

City of Malolos

When you asked questions to us. The


questions helped us better comprehend the
story's message. Which is to not trust
strangers easily.
Olivia, please read the question I told you to jot
down in your notebooks. What consequences did the characters in the
story suffer as a result of their blind trust?
What are your thoughts, Olivia? Could you
please share your opinions with us?
I now understand that blind trust can have
serious consequences, as shown in the story
of "The Seven Crazy Fellows." The old man
was well aware that the men were naive and
easily fooled. However, we discovered that
taking advantage of people has
consequences as well. As the seven men just
brought the old man misfortune.

Good job, class! Let us now share your stories.

F. Application
Role-play interview

Please read the instructions, Maya.


Directions: Conduct a 5-minute role-play
interview using your story. Each group

The Seven Crazy Fellows
Narrated by Cipriano Serafica, from Mangaldan, Pangasinan

Once there were living in the country in the northern part of Luzon seven crazy fellows, named Juan, Felipe, Mateo, Pedro,
Francisco, Eulalio, and Jacinto. They were happy all the day long.
One morning Felipe asked his friends to go fishing. They staid at the Cagayan River a long time. About two o’clock in the
afternoon Mateo said to his companions, “We are hungry; let us go home!”
“Before we go,” said Juan, “let us count ourselves, to see that we are all here!” He counted; but because he forgot to count
himself, he found that they were only six, and said that one of them had been drowned. Thereupon they all dived into the river to look
for their lost companion; and when they came out, Francisco counted to see if he had been found; but he, too, left himself out, so in they
dived again. Jacinto said that they should not go home until they had found the one who was lost. While they were diving, an old man
passed by. He asked the fools what they were diving for. They said that one of them had been drowned.
“How many were you at first?” said the old man.
They said that they were seven.
“All right,” said the old man. “Dive in, and I will count you.” They dived, and he found that they were seven. Since he had
found their lost companion, he asked them to come with him.
When they reached the old man’s house, he selected Mateo and Francisco to look after his old wife; Eulalio he chose to be
water-carrier; Pedro, cook; Jacinto, wood- carrier; and Juan and Felipe, his companions in hunting.
When the next day came, the old man said that he was going hunting, and he told Juan and Felipe to bring along rice with
them. In a little while they reached the mountains, and he told the two fools to cook the rice at ten o’clock. He then went up the
mountain with his dogs to catch a deer. Now, his two companions, who had been left at the foot of the mountain, had never seen a deer.
When Felipe saw a deer standing under a tree, he thought that the antlers of the deer were the branches of a small tree without leaves: so
he hung his hat and bag of rice on them, but the deer immediately ran away. When the old man came back, he asked if the rice was
ready. Felipe told him that he had hung his hat and the rice on a tree that ran away. The old man was angry, and said, “That tree you saw
was the antlers of a deer. We’ll have to go home now, for we have nothing to eat.”
Meanwhile the five crazy fellows who had been left at home were not idle. Eulalio went to get a pail of water. When he
reached the well and saw his image in the water, he nodded, and the reflection nodded back at him. He did this over and over again;
until finally, becoming tired, he jumped into the water, and was drowned. Jacinto was sent to gather small sticks, but he only destroyed
the fence around the garden. Pedro cooked a chicken without removing the feathers. He also let the chicken burn until it was as black as
coal. Mateo and Francisco tried to keep the flies off the face of their old mistress. They soon became tired, because the flies kept coming
back; so they took big sticks to kill them with. When a fly lighted on the nose of the old woman, they struck at it so hard that they killed
her. She died with seemingly a smile on her face. The two fools said to each other that the old woman was very much pleased that they
had killed the fly.
When the old man and his two companions reached home, the old man asked Pedro if there was any food to eat. Pedro said
that it was in the pot. The old man looked in and saw the charred chicken and feathers. He was very angry at the cook. Then he went in
to see his wife, and found her dead. He asked Mateo and Francisco what they had done to the old woman. They said that they had only
been killing flies that tried to trouble her, and that she was very much pleased by their work.
The next thing the crazy fellows had to do was to make a coffin for the dead woman; but they made it flat, and in such a way
that there was nothing to prevent the corpse from falling off. The old man told them to carry the body to the church; but on their way
they ran, and the body rolled off the flat coffin. They said to each other that run- ning was a good thing, for it made their burden lighter.
When the priest found that the corpse was missing, he told the six crazy fellows to go back and get the body. While they
were walking toward the house, they saw an old woman picking up sticks by the roadside.
“Old woman, what are you doing here?” they said. “The priest wants to see you.” While they were binding her, she cried out
to her husband, “Ah! here are some bad boys trying to take me to the church.” But her husband said that the crazy fellows were only
trying to tease her. When they reached the church with this old woman, the priest, who was also crazy, performed the burial-ceremony
over her. She cried out that she was alive; but the priest answered that since he had her burial-fee, he did not care whether she was alive
or not. So, they buried this old woman in the ground.
When they were returning home, they saw the corpse that had fallen from the coffin on their way to the church. Francisco
cried that it was the ghost of the old woman. Terribly frightened, they ran away in different directions, and became scattered all over
Luzon.

“The Scar that Never Heals”

I was once an innocent teen longing for a friend whom I can really trust, a shoulder to lean
on. However, it seemed impossible for me to find a companion at that time. For a start,
who would like to have a nerdy, clumsy friend like me? I would always walk down in the
hallway alone, while I eat my sandwich in the corner, and wait until 3 o'clock.

One day, I met a person that would forever change the course of my life. On the 21st of
August, year 1965, a new student transferred in our class his name is Juan. I had in mind
this thought that we would surely get along. First of all, he is also a silent person just like
me. It didn't get too long before we became close friends. We would always play, study,
and eat together. Perhaps, another reason why we always get along is the sense of trust that
we both have. Juan was the first person that I ever trusted, and I was also his first friend.

One summer afternoon, while walking in the street of Tondo, I felt a sharp object thrusted
into my back. At last, he finally revealed his true color. He said that he was always so
envious of me because I was always at the top of the class. However, just when I was about
to utter a word, he stabbed himself. With tears on his face, he apologized, and finally waved
his final goodbye. Until now, in my late 80's, it is not the scar that I got from the knife that
hurts the most, it is the scar that I got from trusting for the first and last time.

The Crazy Old Man

Once there lived in the northern part of Luzon a crazy old man, who did not know his name. But he was happy all
day long. One morning, he went fishing in the Cagayan River. When afternoon came, he decided to go home because
he was hungry. As he was about to leave the river, he encountered a problem. He could not remember the way back
home. Suddenly, he met seven men walking by. The old man asked the seven fellows to help him find his way back
home. Should the seven men help the old man?

(a) If yes, how would the seven fellows help the old man and what would be the ending of their decision?

(b) If no, what should the seven men do to avoid getting involved with the old man and how will the story end
if they avoided the old man?
