REVIEW

1. Sleeping is a good way to rest. When you sleep, your muscles relax. Your bodily functions slow down. Your heart beats a little slower – it does not work so much. You feel refreshed after sleeping.

2. Filipinos are ready to help one another especially in times of need. They help one another in building houses. They help one another when there are calamities like floods, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Filipinos are very helpful people.

The Dove and the AntAn ant once fell from the

edge of a brook in a forest when a dove stepped on it to drink. The ant floated helplessly, for to it, the little brook was an ocean.

The dove saw the poor ant and so she took a blade of grass and threw it towards the ant. The ant drifted ashore on the leaf.

One day, a hunter happened to pass by. Seeing the pretty dove, he set his gun and aimed at the dove. The timely bite of the ant on his heel saved the dove from death.

The dove flew away safely as the ant looked happily.

The Proud FlowerMany, many years ago,

when the earth had only the sun and the moon, the flowers and the animals, the rose was thought to be the most beautiful flower.

It was so beautiful that all the animals that lived during that time admired it greatly.

One day, a butterfly got tired flying. It perched on the lovely rose to rest. The rose became mad. It did not like any butterfly or insect to perch on its petals or leaves. It thought it should do something about it. At last it came up with an idea. Thorns! It could surround itself with thorns.

The rose plant became a dangerous plant to touch. Many could admire it but only a few could touch it. God did not like this. He did not like the rose plant to be proud. So He created other beautiful flower-bearing plants. He created other flowers that are more beautiful than a rose. God created orchids, tulips, chrysanthemum, and many other more beautiful flowers.

What are the important

elements of the story?

A good reader is skilled in noting details and also in selecting details relevant to the main idea. Details usually answer the questions that begin with who, what, when, where and why.

Noting details is determining and identifying the specific parts of a story or selection. To do this, you should be able to identify the important elements of a story: title; characters (primary and secondary); setting; important events (climax); and the ending.

The Learned SonA son once returned from

the city to his father, who lived in the country. “We’re moving today,”

said the Father. “Take a rake and come and help me.”

But the son was so lazy and did not want to work, so he said, “I’m a scholar and I have forgotten all those peasant words. What is a rake?”

As we walked across the yard, he stepped on a rake that was lying in his way, and it struck him on the forehead. He suddenly seemed to recall what a rake was and, clutching his head, he cried, “What fool left a rake lying here?”
