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.

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.

Teacher-made text
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.
