The Fox and the Crow

By: Aesop
One day, a Fox saw a Crow flew off with a piece of cheese in its beak
and settled on a branch of a tree. “That’s for me, as I am a fox, “whispered
the Fox. And he walked up to the foot of the tree.
“Good day, Crow,” he cried. “How well you are looking today. How
glossy your feathers are and how bright your eyes are. I feel sure your voice
will surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does. Let me hear but one
song from you that I may greet you as the queen of birds.”
The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the
moment she opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to
be snapped up by the master Fox.
“That would do,” said the Fox. “That was all I wanted. In exchange for
your cheese, I will give you a piece of advice for the future: “Do not trust
flatterers.”

36. It’s simple to wash your hands the right way, and it usually takes no more than
a minute. But did you know that simple a scrub can help reduce the spread of
everything from respiratory illness to diarrhea? Handwashing is also one of the
best ways to remove germs, help avoid getting sick, and prevent the spread of
germs. So, handwashing is important to remember, and an important habit to teach
your kids. For effective handwashing, follow these five steps: First, wet your hands
using clean, running water when available. Second, lather the front and back of
hands, between fingers, and under fingernails with soap. Third, scrub hands
together for at least 20 seconds. Fourth, rinse hands under clean, running water.
Finally, dry hands completely with a clean towel, or air dry.

her hand on his shoulder.

need to study. Put the mitt away!" Pete put the mitt away, but he didn't know the
first thing about studying math.

40. If you are confused about something in class, don't wait. Raise your hand and
ask for help immediately. Do it while your teacher is still explaining the material.
Your teacher will probably be happy that you are taking an active part in your
education and should attempt to explain the material in a different way. If you are
still confused, ask your teacher if he or she is available after class to give you
additional instruction. You are worth it. Don’t give up on yourself.

“We are in a different war with COVID-19. This is not like ISIS where we can see
the enemy,” said Dr. Alicia Macmac, rural health unit officer in Lumba Bayabao,
Lanao Del Sur.
The impact of the Marawi City siege in 2017, an armed conflict between
Philippine government forces and ISIL-affiliated militants, aggravated the poverty
situation in Lanao del Sur, which is the poorest province in the country. More
than 17,000 Maranao people displaced by the conflict remain in temporary
shelters in the province. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased their
vulnerability on top of the ongoing humanitarian situation.
Dr. Macmac and other health care workers face enormous pressure to stop
COVID-19 infections. As government-run hospitals face shortages of critical
supplies to help contain the spread of the virus, UNICEF is providing disinfection
supplies, tents, personal protective equipment, and infection prevention and
control training for community health workers, sanitary engineers, and
inspectors.
