THE COCONUT
The coconut is a tall palm tree. It has no
branches.
The trunk is strong. It makes a good post. We
get oil from
from the ripe coconut milk. The young coconut
meat is
good to eat. It is good for making candies and
salad.
Doormats are made out of the coconut husk. The
long
coconut leaves are woven into baskets. Brooms
are
made from the midribs of the long leaves.
Coconut shells
are made into buttons, coconut shell banks, ash
trays
and many others. The stalk of the leaves is good
for fuel.
How useful the coconut is! Every part of it can be
used.
GROWING VEGETABLES
Lino went with mother to market. They
bought some
vegetables. Mother said, “I was able to buy only
some
with my money. Vegetables cost much now.”
Lino was sorry for Mother. They did not have
much
money. So he said, “Let’s plant vegetables in our
backyard. Then we will not have to buy them in
the
market.”
So Lino planted three plots of tomatoes, two
plots
of eggplants and a plot of pechay. He had some
amargoso climbing on the bamboo fence. Lino
worked

grew more
vegetables than they could eat. Mother sold
