A Letter Soup
By Pedro Pablo Sacristan
Once upon a time there was a very evil and unpleasant
crook who only ever thought about how to get money. Seeing
anyone happy bothered the crook enormously. What he hated
most was when people were polite and courteous to each
other, saying things like please and thank you, and don't mention
it. It annoyed him even more if they were smiling when they said
these things.
The crook thought all those kinds of words were a useless
waste, and weren't good for anything. So what he did was spend a lot
of time inventing a machine which could steal words. With this
machine, he planned to steal 'please', 'thank you', 'don't mention it', and
similar words people used to be polite. He was convinced that no one
would notice if those words were to suddenly disappear. When he had stolen these
words, he intended to take them apart and sell the letters to book publishers.
After he started up his machine, people would
open their mouths, intending to say kind and polite
things, but nothing came out. All those words ended up
inside the big machine. Just as the crook had hoped, in
the beginning nothing happened. It looked like people
really didn't need to be polite after all. However, after a
while, people started to feel like they were always in a bad mood, doing everything
reluctantly, and feeling like everyone else was being forever demanding of them. So,
within a few days, everyone was angry and arguing over the slightest little thing.
14

The crook was terribly happy with his success, but he didn't
count on a couple of very special little girls. Those girls were deaf, and
had to communicate using sign language. Now, because the
machine couldn't steal gestures, these girls continued being kind
and polite. Soon they realised what had been happening to
everyone else, and they found out about the crook and his wicked plan.
The girls followed him to his hideout on the top of a hill next
to the sea. There they found the enormous machine busy
separating all the words into letters. The crook had gone to take a
nap, so the girls crept up to the machine and started being polite
and courteous to each other.
Try as it might, the contraption couldn't steal those words, and it
started to suffer a power overload, which got more and more serious
as the girls went on communicating. Finally, it exploded; sending all the
letters it had gathered flying into the sky. These letters started coming
down, like rain, and most ended up in the sea. After that, everyone
could be polite and thoughtful again. The anger and the arguments
stopped, proving that good manners are very useful for keeping people
together in a spirit of happiness.
Seeing all those letters fall into the sea gave those two little girls an idea. A little
while later they opened a factory. Making alphabetti spaghetti soup!

THE FOX IN THE WELL
One day a fox fell into a well. He jumped and jumped but he could not
get out. The well was too deep. Soon he began to feel cold and hungry.
Suddenly there was a noise from above. A goat had come to drink
from the well. It looked in and saw the fox. “Why, what are you doing down
there, Mr. Fox?” asked the goat.
The fox was very cunning. Quickly, he thought of a way to trick the
goat. “Oh, I’m drinking,” he said.
“Down there? But there’s water in the bucket up here.”
“Yes, I know,” said the fox. “But the water down here is much sweeter.
Why don’t you come down and taste it for yourself?”
“I think I will do that.” And the silly animal jumped into the well.
At once the fox leapt on to the goat’s back. And from there he soon
jumped out of the well.
“Hey! Where are you going?” cried the goat. “What about me? How
am I going to get out of here?”
“Ah-ha, you silly goat,” laughed the fox. “Don’t you think you should
have thought of that before you jumped in?”
And still laughing to himself he ran off, leaving the poor goat in the
well.

words.
 I wash the car.
 I am washing the car.
 I have washed the car.
1. What have you noticed about the words?
2. What does this remind you about verbs?
Let us study the following sentences.
1. In the sentence “I wash the car.”, wash, which is the verb, is the simple
form. The time when the action was done is indefinite or we are unsure if
it is on-going or completed. Thus, this sentence is in the simple aspect of
the verb.
2. While in the sentence “I am washing the car”, washing, which is the verb,
is in the present progressive form, which tells us that the action is on-
going.
24

3. On the other hand, the sentence “I have washed the car.”, have washed,
being in the present perfect, tells us that the action has just been done
or completed.
These sentences are in the present tense, if we are to write it in past tense, we
would have.
 I was washing the car. – simple past
 I had washed the car. – past perfect
 I had been washing the car. – past perfect progressive

What is an outline?
An outline is a formal system used to think and organize your ideas. You can use
it to see if your ideas are connected to each other and what order works best. Outlines
can be useful to help you see the overall picture.
There are two kinds of outlines: the topic outline and the sentence outline.
1. The topic outline consists of words or short phrases.
2. The sentence outline is done in full sentences. It is normally used when
you want to focus on complex details.
Steps in making an outline:
1. Identify the topic or the main idea.
2. Identify the main categories.
3. Create the first category.
4. Create subcategories.
Normally, use Roman numerals to write the main idea. Then under the main
idea, we indent and write the first subcategory with a capital letter. See the example
below.
If you are to report on animals found in the farm and what they give us, here is an
example:
I. Chickens

Greedy Boy
There lived a twin brother called Sam and Tom! They were identical twins, even their
mother found it too hard to differentiate between them during the initial months of birth.
However, they were like two poles when it comes to everything other than their
appearance. They neither agree with anything nor do they share even one single trait!
Sam had no friends, whereas for Tom the world was friendship. Sam loved sweets
and Tom loved to eat spicy foods. Sam was mommy’s pet and Tom was daddy’s pet.
While Sam was generous, Tom was greedy!
As they grew up, their father wanted to share his fortune equally. However, Tom did not
agree and he argued that whoever is more intelligent and strong, will gain higher share of
wealth than other.
Sam agreed. Their father decided to organize a competition between the two. And they ordered the two sons
to walk as long as they can in and they should return home before the sunset. Whoever covers the longer
distance and returns home before sunset will get huge amount of wealth proportionate to the distance they
covered. They don’t carry watch to calculate time.
Both started to walk a long way during a sunny day. Sam walked slowly and steadily, while Tom urged to win
over Sam started to run instantly.
The distance they cover until mid-noon will be equal to the distance they would reach home before sunset. It
was mid-noon and Sam decided to return back as he could reach home on time.
However, Tom, with his greediness to earn more wealth, did not turn his way back home even after mid-noon.
He walked two times longer distance that what Sam was covered and decided to return back before the
sunset. He urged to return home as the Sun turned orange in the evening. Unfortunately, he could not even
make half way to home and the moon rises.
He lost the race and was defeated because of greediness!

“Mind Your Own Business”
There was once a girl who wouldn’t mind her own business, but loved to poke her nose into
everyone else’s! She really was most tiresome.
“You don’t do this right”, she would say to other children. “You don’t do that right!” And she would
alter what they had done and make them very angry.
She would even make herself a nuisance to her teacher. “You’ve put that notice up abput homework,
Miss Brown. Oh, Miss Brown, wouldn’t be better if we had painting on Thursday instead of Wednesday, then
we’d have more time?”
“Katie, when I want you to run my school for me I’ll tell you!” Miss Brown would say, “When will you
learn to mind your own business?”
“Katie always pokes her nose into everyhting,”said William. “When my mother sent you a note
yesterday, Miss Brown, Katie opened it and read it before you did.”
“Don’t tell tales,”said Katie at once.”Miss Brown, you don’t like tale tellers do you? You always say
you don’t. Well, wouldn’t you scold William?” “I don’t like tale tellers, it’s true,” said Miss Brown. “But I dislike
even more little girls who open notes meant for other people, Katie. One day you’ll get into serious trouble
for interfering.
Katie was in her worst interfering mood one day. She had told her mother that the flowers in the vase
were not arranged at all nicely, and she had arranged them all over again. She told her father that there was
button loose in his mackintosh, and why didn’t he remember to get it sewn tightly?
She had made the cook very angry because she had gone into the kitchen to watch a cake being
made, and had felt certain she could do it better. So she had done a little mixing herself, and had upset the
bowl of flour, milk, sugar and eggs all over the table.

THE ANT AND THE DOVE
One hot day, an ant was searching for some water. After walking
around for some time, she came to a spring. To reach the spring, she
had to climb up a blade of grass. While making her way up, she slipped
and fell into the water.
She could have drowned if a dove up a nearby tree had not seen her.
Seeing that the ant was in trouble, the dove quickly plucked off a leaf
and dropped it into the water near the struggling ant. The ant moved
towards the leaf and climbed up there. Soon it carried her safely to dry
ground. Just at that time, a hunter nearby was throwing out his net towards the dove, hoping to trap it.
Guessing what he was about to do, the ant quickly bit him on the heel. Feeling the pain, the hunter dropped his
net. The dove was quick to fly away to safety.
One good turn deserves another.

Remember
A film, also called a movie, motion picture or photoplay, is a series of still images which, when shown
on a screen, creates the illusion of moving images due to the phi phenomenon.
The different forms and conventions of films are:
 Characterization - describe the depiction of a character in a movie
 Acting is the work of an actor or actress, which is a person in theatre, television, film, or any
other storytelling medium who tells the story by portraying a character and,
usually, speaking or singing the written text or play.
 Dialog – the things that are said by the characters in a movie; a discussion/ conversation
between two or more people
 Setting or set up – the time, place, circumstances in which a film takes place
 Direction – the instructions given to the actors and other people working on a film
 Blocking is the positioning and movement of the characters to tell the story in visual term
 Lighting - the use of various light sources, both artificial and natural, to achieve some aesthetic
or practical effect while illuminating a scene.
 Formal language is using standard English (not slang) and appropriate grammar when
speaking or writing. Informal language is the language we use when we feel very
comfortable and casual around people. For example, talking with or writing to our peers,
close friends, and family may be appropriate times to use informal speech. You may
choose to use slang or some inappropriate grammar. Informal language does not require
standard English.

Why the Sky is High
In the early days, when the sky was still low, two brothers named Ingat and
Daskol lived with their parents on Earth.
As their names indicate, Ingat was careful in everything he did and was
therefore his father’s right hand man. He was always helping with the work in the field
and his parent’s were very pleased with him.
On the other hand, Daskol did his work sloopily. In the absence of the daughter
in the family, the house work came, to be Daskol’s responsibility. He fetched water,
cleaned the house, and did cooking. He also did the pounding of the palay that his
father and Ingat harvested. Even in pounding, Daskol lived up to his name. Half of the
grain he pounded scattered and fell to the ground. Being naturally lazy and impatient,
he did not like the work of pounding.
One day, Daskol had to pound a greater quantity of palay than usual. He was
irritated because every time he raised the pestle, it would hit the sky. His anger added
to his strength and desire to finish the work quickly. So, he raised the pestle higher and
every time it hit the sky, the sky will be raised. In his hurry Daskol did not notice that the
sky was rising. When he finished pounding rice he looked up and discovered that the
sky had risen and it is where it is today.

Sound Devices
 What is onomatopoeia?
- Onomatopoeia is when a word’s pronunciation imitates its sound.
Example:
 What is alliteration ?
- Alliteration happens when words that start with the same sound are
used close together in a phrase or sentence. The sound is usually a
consonant and the words don’t have to always be right next to one
another.
- One of the fun features of alliteration is when it becomes a tongue
twister.
Example:
I could hear the crowd murmur as the news spread.
The large dog said, “Bow-wow!”
Both bees and buzzers buzz.
The bird’s chirp filled the empty night air
Honesty is the best policy.
Let the cat out of the bag.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Alice’s aunt ate apples and acorns around August.
Becky’s beagle barked and bayed, becoming bothersome for Billy.
Carrie's cat clawed her couch, creating chaos.

 What is assonance ?
-Assonance takes place when two or more words close to one another
repeat the same vowel sound but start with different consonant sounds.
- Example:
She could feel her son’s sweet smell of success.
The silken tent.

By : Eleonor Farjeon

Though you bind it with the blowing wind,
And buckle it with the moon.

Like a sorrow or a tune
