Ang Aming Tahanan

Ang aming tahanan

Katamtaman lamang ang aming Tahanan

Mayroon bakuran na maraming Halaman

May Pagmamahalan sa aming Tahanan

Sa Puso ng lahat isa ng kayamanan

Mag – anak

Ang Tatay natin ay mahalin

Ang Nanay natin ay gayundin

Utos nila ay ating susundin

Kapatid ay huwag aawayin

Mahal ko si Ama

Gayundin si Ina

Kung sila ay wala

Anong lungkot kaya

Two Eyes

I have two eyes

To look and see

The beautiful things

Around me

I can see the red

And yellow flowers

I can see the round

Yellow sun

And the blue full moon

My Tongue

I have my tongue

To taste the food

So I may know

If it tastes good

I use my tongue

So I can taste and

Eat the food

That I like best

My Love

I Love my Father

I Love my Mother

I Love my Brother and Sister

Father looks for food for me

Mother takes care for me

Brother helps me and Sister plays with me

I Love them all

Ako ay Malusog

Ako ay Malusog at lagi rin malinis

Husto sa tulog, husto rin sa kain

Ang Katawan ko ay mabilog

At ang balat ay makinis

Palagi akong masaya

At palagi rin masigla

Oh’ shake it to the right

and point to the east

and point to the west

and point to the one

that you like best.

Something Creepy’s Crawling on Tina’s Head!

“I can’t wait to get my hooks onto tina’s hair!”cried Kathy and Cootie,eyeing Tina’s unkempt, dirty hair.

“Tina doesn’t have a comb,”noted one of the lice’s foot soldiers.“let’s wait for her to borrow her cousin Girlie’s!”

One night Kathy and her army of lice saw their chance.Tina slept next to Girlie.they even shared the same pillow.It was so easy!One by one,the lice deployed their troops and transferred

from Girlie’s infested head on to Tina’s.“Oh goody! I’m attacking the top of her head!”

“I’ll take the territory near hear ears!”“Leave the bangs to me!”

The lice couldn’t have been happier.They love children who where too lazy to shampoo and brush their hair.The sweatier the scalp,the more the lice felt at home.It wasn’t long before the lice had babies.their growing numbers continued to prey

on tina,sucking blood as they dug into her scalp .Meanwhile,Tina felt miserable.She couldn’t stop scratching her

head!“Mom,”she finally cried for help,“something creepy’s crawling

on my head!”Tina’s mother instantly declared war on the lice.for her

weapon she used a suyod,a special comb that rakes out lice.As the lice fell onto a white piece of paper,they were squeezed to

death between her thumbnails.After wards she used a medicated shampoo to give her daughter a thorough

scrubbling-and rinse until all the lice were gone.From that day on,Tina kept her hair clean and away from the

sun.She never shared her comb or pillow with anyone again.She learned that good grooming and clean habits keep

the lice away.

For the love of Miyawsi

Nanay’s parents work full-time.They leave early in the morning and come home late at night.Nanay spends a lot of time

alone.She talks to her dolls,Babsie and Beybi.She also very fond of miyawsi,her pet cat.Miyawsi is expecting kittens!

On the day Miyawsi gives birth to her litter,Nancy is happy as can be.

Miyawsi has five adorable kittens of different colors.But the day begins as always with her mother rushing out the

door.“Nancy,your Dad and I have to go.Breakfast in on the table.Mareng Luring will be checking in on

your now and then,Bye!”Nanay wants to tell her mother that Mareng Luring is often too busy and there are times when she doesn’t give her enough to

eat.She can’t wait to tell her all about Miyawsi and her new kittens.But both her parents are gone in a flash.

The night Nancy hears the baby kittens crying in the cellar.Grabbing a flashlight,she goes downstairs with her two

companion dolls in tow.Where is Miyawsi?Poor kittens.So hungry,and their mother is nowhere to be found!

Nancy goes to the kitchen and prepare a saucepan of milk for the kittens.

When Miyawsi appears some time later,Nancy scolds her :“Where have you been ,Miyawsi?How could you leave her babies all alone?Don’t you know that they need their mother?”

Nanay is unaware that her parents,who had just arrived,had over heard her at the cellar door.It dawns on both her mother and father that they have neglected Nanay in much the same

way that Miyawsi had abandoned her litter.

Nancy’s parents realize it’s not too late to make things up to their daughter.

“Come and sit between us,Nancy.Let’s have dinner together and afterwards we’ll tell you a bedtime story.”

As the kittens nuzzle close to Miyawsi,Nancy is comforted that her parents are making time for her at last.

Lagalag

Each day begins and ends without change for lagalag, a homeless dog. He

Wanders aimlessly through the city streets looking for a home and someone to care for him. He burrows his nose through the trash to get his food. Screen doors get slammed in his face; a naughty kid

pelts a stone at him. Poor Lagalag. No one wants him! Lagalag begins to wonder if the world was made only for good-looking,nice-

smelling dogs.

In another part of the city lives Boyet, a homeless child. Ever since he was orphaned he has lived on the streets,earning his living by

collecting and selling garbage. He and his friend Jimboy were once invited by Tetet, a social worker, to drop by the center that helps street children like them. Boyet realizes his life could change if he

were to come live at the center. Here the kids eat regular meals, do the chores assigned, and have beds to sleep on. A boy like Boyet could study in the Center and work towards a better future for

himself.

One day Boyet spots Lagalag from a far. He picks up the dog and caresses his coat of dark hair. Lagalag looks up in surprise to see a

pair of kind eyes and a smile.

“Can we take him in, please?” Boyet begs. “This day has no home, just like me.” Since that day the two became fast friends living at the center. Lagalag has found a home and someone to love him at

last

Lorkan , The Helpful Whale

Lorkan can’t wait to become a giant whale,like his fore fathers.

The whale is the biggest sea creature in the world.It can measure up to 50 meters long and weigh 15 tons!It has as many as 300 rows

of teeth in its mouth.Whales eat plankton and fish.Despite their great size,they are gentle creatures.

But lorkan is different.He was born without white batik pattern on his body that characterize the other whales in his pod.because of his looks,the other whales avoid playing with lorkan,including his

peers Obe and Enzo.

“Don’t worry,Lorkan,”his mother tells him soothingly.“The day will come when they’ll realize just how special you are.”

Shunned by his own,Lorkan contents himself by playing with the swordfish instead.

One day Lorkans uses his body to hide his bright,glittering swordfish friends from a menacing predator,Olrak the

Shark.Lorkan’s huge dark body acts as a shield protecting his little friends just as Olrak glides past.

The ever-grateful swordfish can’t thank Lorkan enough.

“You are one helpful whale,”applaud the other whales.Lorkan’s kind feat even wins the admiration of Obe and Enzo.

Since that day Lorkan played happily with his fellow whales.

And he continued to play tag with the armies of swordfish he had befriended.

Bahay Kubo

Bahay kubo, kahit munti 

Ang halaman doon, ay sari sari 

Sinkamas at talong, sigarilyas at mani 

Sitaw, bataw, patani.

Kundol, patola, upo't kalabasa

At saka mayroon pang labanos, mustasa,

Sibuyas, kamatis, bawang at luya

Sa paligid-ligid ay puno ng linga.
