Buddy and the Cat
Little Buddy Cockroach is a
house bug. Mother Bug always
tells him to stay in dark places
and hide. He listens to her with
half an ear not really believing in
what she says. “How could they
not like me? I have beautiful,
shiny wings, and long antenna.
Surely, they would love me,” he
thought. Then, Buddy saw a black
cat and said, “I will show Mother
Cockroach that she is wrong.” But
when the cat saw him, it
immediately jumped and started
running after him with its sharp
claws. Buddy ran as fast as he
could to the dark place under the
cabinet and never ever came out.

A short story is a short written
story usually dealing with few
characters. Its purpose is to
impart or give a moral or a
lesson, capture a moment or
evoke a certain mood. It has all
the elements that a story
should have. (Setting,
Character, Plot)
Here are five steps to guide
you on how to write a short
story:
1. Emotion- Pick the mood you
want to evoke or you want to
let your readers feel. Ask
yourself, “What kind of story
do I want to tell?” You might
want to tell a happy or an
exciting story, a sad one or
something which is
adventurous and mysterious.
2. Start well- Start with a good
introduction or opening to
keep your readers interested.
Create a setting and the

story, movie or play. There is
usually a good character and a
bad character.
2. Setting

location of the events.
3. Problem

4. Perfect the Ending- When
you are to write the ending
part of the story, remember
the emotion that you want to
give to the readers. The ending
should capture the hearts of
the readers.
5. Read and write- Read your
story back three times
(rereading), paying attention to
how the plot, characters,
setting and dialogues work
together in one common goal.

 A Princess with a Big Heart
By: Lea E. Basquińas

Once upon a time, in a faraway island of Mindanao, there lived a little girl named Sari. She is the only daughter of Sultan Saam and Queen Aliya. Sari is a princess who loves to sing, dance, and draw. She is
well-loved by everyone because she has a generous and kind heart and loves to help all people in their kingdom. One sunny morning, on her way to school, Sari happened to see an old woman who is walking
alone. The old woman is so old frail that she could hardly walk. She wore a shabby dress; hunger and thirst are seen on her face. Sari stopped for a moment and asked, “Good morning, why are you walking
alone in this road?” “This is the only short cut way to my old home. That’s why I am trying to walk the best as I could”, said the old woman. “I think you are thirsty and hungry”, said Sari who is worried about
the old woman. Sari gave her water to drink and food to eat.

“Thank you, my princess, you are so kind and generous to a poor and old woman like me”, said the old woman with tears flowing down her cheeks. “Here, take my shawl, I know it's quite hot, but you can use
this shawl at night to keep you warm”, said Sari. The old woman thanked her. Sari arrived late at the school because of what happened earlier. But she never got angry with the old woman. As the classes
ended, her teacher asked Sari what went wrong. Without hesitation, she told the story to her teacher. The teacher understood what happened and warned Sari not to be late anymore. Years passed and
Princess Sari was now in grade 4. One late afternoon as she goes home from school, Sari and her maid named Nana encountered some bandits. They were going to kidnap Princess Sari and let King Saam and
Queen Aliya pay for ransom in return for their daughter’s freedom. Sari and Nana were so frightened that they can’t even run. They just cried for help but no one can hear them. “Help! Help! Please, great
God, help Princess Sari”, cried Nana as the bandits tied the hands of the princess. “Help me, please! Help me! Help!” shouted Sari as loud as she could. But no one could hear her. As the bandits took Sari away
from Nana, someone as fast as the lighting flew in front of the princess. She wore a blue shawl. She had a blue magic wand on her hand. She looked like a warrior fairy. Her eyes were full of fire but her face
was beautiful as an angel. And she had powers, magic! “Stay away from the princess!” she ordered. “No one will hurt the princess. Now, go away! Go home, or else I will turn you into frogs!” she even added.
But one of the bandits tried to hit Princess Sari with his sharp bolo. Before the bolo could even hit the princess, the man bandit turned into a “Kokak, kokak, kokak” “I told you to leave the princess alone!” she
said turning all the bandits into frogs. “Kokak, kokak, kokak”
The fairy untied Sari’s hands while Nana approached them, thanking the fairy for rescuing them. “Thank you for helping me. I owe my life to you. How could I ever repay you?” said Sari with tears on her eyes.

“You do not have to repay me, my princess. Remember this shawl which you gave to me when you were just little? I always use this to remember you” said the fairy. Sari was delighted to hear the fairy’s
story. “So it’s you?” asked Sari. “Yes, I am an old woman. You gave me something to drink and eat. And you gave me this shawl, remember?” said the fairy.
“I have heard lots of stories about you. That’s why I tried to turn myself into an old woman and there goes the story. People were all right; you have a good heart” the fairy added. “From that day onwards, I
made a promise to myself. I’ll always stay by your side. You can never see me because I have powers and magic, but you can always feel my presence, my princess”, the fairy added. Princess Sari hugged the
fairy as gratitude. Nana also thanked the fairy. It was dark when they got home. King Saam and Queen Aliya were worried that they hugged and kissed the princess. Sari told her parents what happened to
them. And the story passed on to generations.
