Elver, the Elf
by: Gemalyn N. Refuelo
One summer day, Elver, the elf, woke up with
a bright smile on his face upon seeing his
mother cook his favorite food. “Oh Mother, thank
you for being the best chef in the world”, he said.
“This is my favorite! I like the smell.”.
“Of course, my dearest son,” Mother said while
slicing an apple with a sharp knife.
Elver sat down after helping his mother prepare the
food and started to eat when his father arrived from
gathering firewood.
He divided the food into halves and gave it to his
father. Together, they ate the food prepared by their
mother. Elver’s mother is a housewife who loves her
family dearly.
