Everyday, she wakes up early to go to the farm and feed their family’s
carabao.
That day, after her morning routine, she decided to drop by her
favorite spot by the pond. She sat down for a couple of minutes and
talked to her reflection in the water. Her nanay had once told about the
diwata appearing in the water of the pond. Anybody who talks to her
reflection by the water will see the diwata and can make a wish. So, Bea
tried her luck.
When Bea was about to open her mouth, a beautiful face appeared,
surely not her own reflection. Because she wanted to prove that it was

Reading books, listening to stories and watching movies can
bring us to a world of reality and fantasy. We encounter
characters and events that may be true or just a make-believe.
Real images are true; they are facts that can be proven.
They can be experienced or witnessed by a person.
When identifying statements that express reality, one should
look into things, ideas, and events based on real-life
experience using the five senses (seeing, smelling, tasting,
hearing, and feeling).
Examples:
Babies cry when they are hungry.
There are seven days in a week.
My grandmother is still alive at the age of 93.
Make-believe images have no existence; they are
not true; they are in our imagination; they are non-fact
and difficult to be proven. Make-believe images are
created in our minds. They are exaggerated most of
the time that is why they are unbelievable to happen.
Examples:
The tree talked to the boy.
The fisherman caught a mountain of fish last night but
still was penniless.
It was raining cats and dogs, the water flooded the city
and it almost reached the clouds.
