GOOD AFTERNOON MA’AM AND CLASSMATE’S, WE ARE GROUP 2 ,

REPRESENTING THE STORY OF “WE ATE THE CHILDREN LAST!” BY YANN

MARTEL. AND HERE ARE THE CHARACTERS OF THE STORY,

FIRST GUIATAO AS PATIENT D.

SECOND ARMAND AND LYRA AS THE SURGEON DOCTORS
THIRD JV AS THE NURSE
LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST MIKO AS THE PULIS OFFICERS.

NARRATOR: The first human trial was on Patient D, a 56-year-old male, single and childless,
who was suffering from colon cancer. He was a skeletal man with white, bloodless skin who
could no longer ingest even clear fluids.

(YUNG DALAWANG DOKTOR TUTURUKAN SI PATIENT D. NG DOSAGE FLUID.)

NARRATOR: He was aware that his case was terminal, and he waived all rights to legal redress
should the procedure go wrong. His recovery was astounding.

(BIBIGYAN NI NURSE NG FOOD SI PATIENT D.)

NARRATOR: Two days after the operation, he ate six lunch meals in one sitting.

PATIENT D: I still feel hungry in my stomach. May I eat again?

NARRATOR: In the sixth time, The Nurse again prepares Patient D a meal as per his request.
Meanwhile, the doctors keep an eye on the patient's condition.

(SA PART NA TO, TITIMBANGIN NATIN SI PATIENT D. PARA MALAMAN KUNG

ILAN ANG NA GAIN NYANG KILO, SAKA NI NARRATOR BABANGGITIN ANG
SUNOD NA SENTENCE)

NARRATOR: He gained 24 kilos in two weeks. A few days passed, and Patient D rapidly came
to dislike sweet dishes, then spicy ones, then cooked food altogether. He began to eat bananas
and oranges without peeling them.

NURSE JV: Don't eat that!

NARRATOR: The nurse immediately stopped patient D eating the banana peel and threw it out
to the trash.
NARRATOR: The next morning, the nurse supposedly checked the Patient D's condition when
he found him eating the flowers in his room and immediately reported it to the doctors.

NURSE: DOC! I SAW PATIENT D, EATING FLOWERS IN HIS ROOM.

DOC LY: REALLY?

NURSE: YES, DOC! Yesterday, if I hadn't seen him, he might have eaten the banana peels. Do
you think this is kind of weird? I think he needs to be checked.

DOC LY: That's strange.. Where's the PRFs? (PATIENT REPORT FORMs)

NARRATOR: Along with other doctors, they immediately returned to studying the said patient.
The nurse on duty quickly responded to Patient D to give a report on the patient's condition.

DOCTOR ARMAND: "He began to dislike spicy food, as well as sweet or savory foods."

NARRATOR: The French medical team felt vindicated. Until then, the success rate of full-organ
xenografts was zero; all transplants of animal organs to humans - the hearts, livers, and bone
marrow of baboons, the kidneys of chimpanzees - had failed. The only real achievement in the
field was the grafting of pigs' heart valves to repair human hearts and, to a lesser extent, of pigs'
skin on to burn victims. The team decided to examine the species more closely. But the process
of rendering pigs' organs immunologically inert proved difficult, and few organs were
compatible. The French were certain that their simple solution to the double problem - using the
digestive system of a smaller, pot-bellied species of pig - would become the stuff of scientific
legend, like Newton's apple.

(Sa part nato nakahiga si guiatao tas nakapalibot ung mga doktor sa kaniya. Kunwari may
machine na nagsscan sa katawan niya.)

DOC ARMAND: "We have put into this man a source of energy both compact and powerful - a
Ferrari engine!"

NARRATOR: boasted the leader of the medical team.

NARRATOR: In order to have a comprehensive study, the doctors decided to send Patient D
home to his own house. Two police officers were on guard here to inform the hospital of his
condition.

NARRATOR: Patient D was monitored closely. When asked about what he ate, he was evasive.

(Then saka papasok si mayor, eto na ung scene na nagulat siya.)

NARRATOR: A visit to his apartment three months after the operation revealed that his kitchen
was barren; he had sold everything in it, including fridge and stove, and his cupboards were
empty.

(Nakita niya si guiatao sa gilid nakaupo, tas kunwari sad boi jwk basta nakaupo sa lapag tas
nung nakita niya si miko dapat may mga dugo sa labi niya kasi kumain siya ng hilaw na
manok )

PULIS: HELLO HELLO AMBULANCE THIS AN EMERGENCY. LOCATION AT SAINT.

DAVID, APARTMENT ROOM 103.

NARRATOR: He finally confessed that he went out at night and picked at garbage. Nothing
pleased him more, he said, than to gorge himself on putrid sausages, rotten fruit, moldy brie,
baguettes gone green, skins and carcasses, and other soured leftovers and kitchen waste.

NARRATOR: He spent a good part of the night doing this, he admitted, since he no longer felt
the need for much sleep and was embarrassed about his diet. The medical team would have been
concerned except that his hemoglobin count was excellent, his blood pressure was ideal, and
further tests revealed what was plain to the eye: the man was bursting with good health. He was
stronger and fitter than he had been in all his life.
