The Flower of Love

Once there lived a chieftain who had a beautiful daughter named Liwayway. One day, she went into the
woods to gather fruits and flowers but unfortunately lost her way. She became unconscious when a wild
beast ran after her. When she recovered, she saw a young man bending over her. He was the son of
another chieftain. When they parted, each one knew that they were in love with each other. One day,
the young man was going away to fight the white men who had invaded their land. The lovers promised
never to forget each other saying “Sumpa Kita.” But the warrior never came back. In sorrow, the maiden
killed herself. Sometime later, shrubs with fragrant white flower grew on her grave. People believed that
Liwayway’s love grew and bloomed. It became a custom for young lovers after that to exchange garlands
of these flowers as a token of their faithful love. They whispered “I promise” (Sumpa kita) to each other.
In time the flowers became known as sampaguita. It is adapted as our national flower because of its
fragrance and simplicity. -adapted-

KATRINA’S TRIP TO THE OCEAN -Adapted-

As the alarm clock started with a loud ring, Katrina got out of her bed excitedly. They were going to the
beach today and she didn’t want to be late. When Katrina went down for breakfast, Mother had already
prepared a big picnic basket filled with all kinds of food. “Do you have your things ready?” Mother
asked. “Yes, Mother. I packed my red bathing suit, my yellow pail and pink spade.” After a hearty
breakfast, Katrina and her parents piled into their car and headed for the ocean. Katrina watched as the
scenery rushed by. She saw many things. She saw houses, rice fields and a funny scarecrow. She waved
at some children playing by the roadside. Finally, they reached the beach. Katrina excitedly ran to the
water. The golden sand felt soft and warm at her feet. She saw many things at the beach. She saw
different kinds of shells - long and short shells, fat and thin shells, even a shell shaped like a fan. She
also saw a starfish and a crab digging in the sand. Katrina swam all day. She also built a beautiful
sandcastle with her yellow pail and pink spade. At the end of the day, when the sun was like an orange
ball in the sky, and all of her mother’s delicious food was gone, Katrina and her family went home. This
time, Katrina didn’t even see the funny scarecrow. Katrina was fast asleep dreaming of her day at the
ocean.

BITTEN BUT NOT SHY Aesop’s Fable

A lion, which had fallen sick, was lying in a cave. He said to his beloved comrade, the fox: If you want me
to recover and live, use your honeyed tongue to entice the big deer which lives in the forest to come
within reach of my claws. I am hungry for his guts and his heart.” The fox went off and found the deer
frisking in the woods. Joining in its play, he greeted it with these words: “I have come to bring you good
news. You know that our king, the lion is my neighbor. Well, he is ill and near to death, and he has been
considering which of the animals is to reign after hi. The pig, he says, is a senseless brute, the bear is a
lazy bone, the leopard is bad-tempered, and the tiger is a braggart. The deer is the best qualified for the
throne, because his height is impressive, because he is a long-lived animal, and because his horns
frightens the snakes. So, to cut a long story short, you have been nominated as king. Tell me quickly, for
I am in a hurry; the lion relies on my counsel in everything he does, and he may be wanting me back. If
you will listen to an old fox’s advice, I think you should come with me and stay with him till he dies.” At
this speech, the deer’s mind was puffed up with conceit, and it went to the cave without any suspicion
of what going to happen. The lion pounced upon it eagerly; but he only succeeded in tearing its ears
with his claws, and the deer hastened to escape in the woods. The fox beat his paws together in
disappointment at having wasted his pains, and the lion moaned and roared aloud in his hunger and
mortification. Eventually, he begged the fox to have another try and lure the deer back again. “It is a
difficult and troublesome task that you are laying on me,” the fox replied, “but all the same, I will do it
for you”. Weaving his cunning toils, he started tracking the deer like a hunting dog, and asked some
shepherds if they had seen a deer with blood about it. They pointed out the woods into which it had
gone; and finding it there, cooling itself after its hurried flight, the fox accosted it as bold as brass. The
deer’s hair bristled with anger, “You scoundrel!” it said, “you won’t catch me again. If you so much
would come near me, you shall pay for it with your life. Go and fox other animals, who don’t know you.
Find someone else to make a king of and drive mad.” “Are you such a miserable coward,” the fox
answered, and so suspicious of us who are your friends? When the lion caught hold of your ear, he
meant to give you his last advice and instructions before he died; he would like to tell you about your
great responsibilities as king; but you could not bear even a scratch from the paw of a sick creature. And
now, he us even angrier than you are, and wants to make the wolf king. A bad master for us he would
be. But come with me and don’t be afraid; be as meek as any sheep. I swear by all the leaves and all the
springs that the lion will not hurt you, and I will have no other master but you,” By this deceit, he
induced the unlucky deer to go with him again, and as soon as it entered the cave, the lion made a meal
out of it, swallowing bones, marrow, and entrails. The fox stood looking on and when the heart fell out
of the carcass; he stealthily snatched it and ate it as a reward for his trouble. The lion missed and
rummaged for it through all the fragments. “You may as well stop searching,” said the fox from a safe
distance, “for the truth is, it hadn’t had a heart. What sort of a heart do you expect to find in a creature
which twice came into a lion’s den and within reach, of his paws?”

THE STONECUTTER -Adapted-

Once upon a time there was a stone cutter. The stone cutter lived in a land where a life of privilege
meant being powerful. Looking at his life he decided that he was unsatisfied with the way things were
and so he set out to become the most powerful thing in the land.

Looking around his land he wondered to himself what it is to be powerful. Looking up he saw the sun
shining down on all the land. “The Sun must be the most powerful thing that there is, for it shines down
on all things and all things grow from its touch.” So he became the Sun.

Days later, as he shone his power down on the inhabitants of the land, there came a cloud which passed
beneath him obstructing his brilliance.

Frustrated he realized that the Sun was not the most powerful thing in the land, if a simple cloud could
interrupt his greatness. So he became a cloud, in fact, he became the most powerful storm that the
world have ever seen.

And so he blew his rain and lightning, and resounded with thunder all over the land, demonstrating that
he was the most powerful. Until one day he came across a boulder.

Frustrated again, he realized that the storm was not the most powerful thing in the land, rather it must
be the boulder. Se he became the boulder.

For days he sat, unmovable, and impassive, demonstrating his power, until one day, a stone cutter came
and chiseled him to bits.
