Every Time
By Amcy M. Esteban

Every time I share my belongings

With someone who has none,
I show how much I care!
Every time I listen to my friend
Who is very lonely,
I show how much I care!
Every time I help others in need
And make them smile and laugh,
I show how much I care!

How do you show you care for others?

Can you share your experience with us?

“Taxi, Ma’am, Sir!”

Taxi, Ma’am, Sir!

By Dali Soriano
“Taxi, Sir? I’ll get one for you.”
I am Ted. After school I stay outside the gate of
the village near our house. I call taxis for people
who need them. I am most happy when a
passenger gives me one peso. This is how I help
my parents buy food for my brothers and sisters.
One day, an old man asked me to call for a taxi
and gave me a paper bag. “Ted, take this home
to your family,” he said. “Thank you, Sir,” I told
him. I ran home to share the bag with my family.
“Pancit!” shouted my little sister as she opened the
bag. My five brothers and two sisters ran to the
table. We all shared the pancit. “Where did you
get the money to buy pancit?” Nanay asked. “I
called for a taxi for an old man and he gave me
a bag of pancit. He told me to share it with you,” I
replied.
The next day, the man called me again but
not for a taxi. “Would you like to help clean my
house?” he asked. “Oh yes, but when? You see,
I go to school,” I answered. “I will send you to
school.” “Really?” I asked. “Yes, I will,” he said.

366
 “Ah, but I don’t want to be away from my family,”
I added. “You are not leaving them. After school
you come help me clean the house. Then, you
can go home,” the man explained. “Thank you.
I like that. My parents will like the good news,” I
said.
My parents were happy.
I like working for the kind, old man. I don’t have to
call for taxis anymore.
Comprehension Questions:
1. How did Ted help his family?
2. How do you help your family? Share what you
do with the class.

Mark Has Horse’s Ears

An Adaptation of Mark Has Horse’s Ears
by Robert Nye
Mark had everything he wanted. Everyone said,
“What a lucky boy. How happy he must be!” But
Mark was not happy. He had a secret. The secret
was that he had horse’s ears that he kept under a
bonnet.
The only person who knew about the secret was
the family barber. He was forced to promise not
to tell anyone or else his barber shop would be
closed. The barber kept the secret until he began
to get sick and went to the doctor. The doctor
said, “You are not sick at all. Perhaps you are

400
keeping a secret.” The barber fell off his chair.
He thought the doctor knew about little Mark’s
secret. The doctor asked what the secret was, but
the barber wouldn’t say anything. The doctor said,
“Well, if you won’t tell me, tell it to the ground.”
The barber went to the bank of the river and laid
his head down and whispered, “Mark has horse’s
ears. Mark has horse’s ears.” He felt better right
away.
When the little rich boy celebrated his seventh
birthday, his mother prepared a big banquet. She
invited musicians to entertain guests. One played
music using a comb and a leaf. When the guests
had eaten, little Mark’s father called on the special
musician to play. The musician blew on his comb
and out came the song, “Mark has horse’s ears.”
The guests began to giggle. The father snatched
the comb from the musician and blew on it. Again
the comb sang, “Mark has horse’s ears.” Everyone
laughed so hard they were rolling on the floor.
Suddenly Mark’s mom stood up and spoke, “How
many of you here have horse’s ears? Only one,
my special son, Mark. It is a sign of his difference
from you.” The mother took off the bonnet that
hid Mark’s ears. Then the father and mother kissed
Mark, first on one ear and then on the other.
After this, everyone wanted horse’s ears because
these would make them special. Mark didn’t
have to hide his ears anymore.
Comprehension Questions:
1. What was special about Mark?
2. How do you think Mark felt when the guests
laughed about his ears?

Listen to your teacher as he/she reads the story,
“The Lion and the Mouse.”

The Lion and the Mouse

Aesop’s Fable
Once there was a lion sleeping peacefully under
the shade of a narra tree. Suddenly a mouse
ran up his shoulders. The lion woke up and shook
himself like an earthquake which sent the little
creature to the ground. The lion caught the mouse
by the tail, holding him with one great paw. “Who
are you to disturb my much-needed sleep?”
roared the lion. Almost too scared to say anything,
the mouse begged to be set free. “I give you my
word, Sir Lion. One day I will return the favor.”
“Give your word, squeaking pip?” asked the lion,
laughing. The mouse nodded and the lion lifted
his paw and let the creature free. They went their
separate ways. The lion forgot about the mouse, but
the mouse was more careful where he went.
One day the lion roared pitifully through the forest.
It woke the mouse. “That sounds like Sir Lion. He
saved my life. I promised I would return the favor.
Now is my chance.” The mouse hurried toward the
sound. He saw the lion hung from a great branch,
caught in a hunter’s net, trapped so tightly it
couldn’t move. The mouse quickly climbed the
tree and went to the thick ropes where he set to
work with his sharp teeth. He chewed and pulled,
nibbled and gnawed through the mesh until the
net began to loosen and the lion was released.

408
The lion thanked the mouse. “Thank you, little
mouse. I promise never to underestimate smaller
creatures again.” The mouse in turn tried to look
heroic and brave. It was with some relief and
not a little pride that he watched as the lion
disappeared into the forest.
Comprehension Questions:
1. Why did the lion roar at the mouse?

Leo likes doing fun things. Jim loves school. Bob
does whatever Jim decides to do.
One morning after the rain, as these three grade
two pupils walked happily to school, they passed
by a big puddle of water. Jim and Bob stayed
away from the puddle. Leo thought of something
fun to do. He leaped on the puddle, splashing
muddy water on Jim and Bob.
“Why did you do that?” cried Bob. “Look what
you’ve done! We are wet! We are muddy! That
dirty water could make us sick!” shouted Jim.
“And we are late for school!” cried the two
angrily.
Leo replied laughing, “Ha ha ha, forget about
school today. Let’s skip school, just once. Come
on, let’s play in the puddle!”
“No, I’m going home to change,” decided Jim.
“I don’t want to go to school in this wet and dirty
uniform. I don’t want to get sick.”
“Me too,” agreed Bob. “I don’t want to get sick
and miss school.”
Jim and Bob went home to change. They got to
school clean and dry. Leo decided to play in the
puddle with some other children. The next day, he
stayed home with the flu.

The Goose Who Had Many Friends

By Leah Bautista
Once there was a goose. She was a good
goose and had many friends in the pond.
She liked going around the pond with friends
every day. She shared plenty of fresh fish
from the pond. Everybody was happy.
One day, she got sick. Her friends learned
that she was sick. Everybody visited her and
cared for her until she got better.
The concern of the goose’s friends made
her feel light and she got well. They all went
about the pond, took turns in looking for
food, while they had fun and enjoyed the
day.
Everybody realized that life is better if friends
are always there to help out and cheer up
those who are in need.
