calling and shouting to Bantay. Bantay is looking at his collection of bones. He is counting them. Hmmm!
I wonder why some of my bones are missing.
19. 126 Tagpi tumbles down on Bantay’s collection of bones. Bantay wants to laugh but stops himself so
as not to hurt Tagpi’s feelings. Tagpi notices Bantay’s collection of bones and tells Bantay… Bantaaaaay!
Bantaaay ouch! What a huge collection of bones you’ve got here!
20. 127 Bantay greets Tagpi. Tagpi bounces up and down around Bantay inviting him to play “catch the
ball”. Come on Bantay! Let’s play catch the ball. It will be fun. Okay Tagpi. I will just get the ball inside
the house.
21. 128 Bantay agrees. They both play “catch the ball”. Bantay and Tagpi play with the ball on the grass
field. Tagpi tells Bantay that he is tired and wants to take a nap. Okay. You go on then. I will just get the
ball. I’m going home now Bantay. I am already tired and I need to take a nap.
22. 129 Bantay bounds off to get the ball at the far end of the grass field. Then he runs back to his house
with the ball in his mouth. He drops the ball when he sees that one more big bone is missing. Who is
getting my bones?
23. 130 Meanwhile, Tagpi buries the bone he took from Bantay’s collection. Then he goes to the front of
his master’s house. He sleeps in his cute dog basket. He curls inside his new blanket. Tagpi awakens
because a stray dog is tugging at his new blanket. The stray dog runs away with his new blanket.
24. 131 Tagpi cries out loud. Bantay from the other house hears him. Bantay consoles Tagpi. Bantay
adds… Bantay courageously said. How could anyone get things that are not theirs? Some dogs do.
Probably the same dog took the bones from my collection Let’s go find him and get the things he took
from us.”
25. 132 Tagpi is about to say something about Bantay’s missing bones but Bantay urges him to run with
him to look for the stray dog. Bantay and Tagpi look everywhere for the stray dog but failed to find him.
Bantay and Tagpi slowly walk back to their homes. Bantay notices Tagpi still crying.
26. 133 Bantay cheers up Tagpi. Bantay explains. Bantay answers with a big smile. It’s okay Tagpi. Your
master will understand what happened to your blanket. I am sure that soon enough you will have a new
blanket,” I am no longer crying about that. I am the one who took some of your bones. You have a lot of
bones in your collection. So, I thought you will not miss one or two bones. Tagpi admits. If you want
some of my bones, all you have to do is ask, Tagpi. After all, what are friends for?” I know that now. I
hope you can forgive me! Tagpi says sorry. Accepted!!

animal band. Read and Remember B. Let us read this story. Be ready to answer some questions about it.
The Adventures of the Animal Band It was a fine day. The horse and his friends went on a trip to an
island. “It will be a long, long trip and you have to remember what happens each day”, the horse said.
They rode on a ship named Combo. Soon they were far out in the deep sea. Suddenly, they heard a loud
cracking sound. The ship hit a big hard rock.
81. 188 Captain Goat told them, “Put on your life vest! We are sinking! We must abandon ship now!
Swim, swim for your lives!” The horse and his friends followed Captain Goat’s command. They jumped
from the ship and swam to a safe place. The carabao had the monkey on his back. The rat held on tightly
to the turtle’s shell. The dog, duck and frog swam together. They all swam until they reached the island.
The horse and his friends now have many things to remember. Would you like to find out how long they
stayed on the island and how they spent the days there? Here is what they wrote down. Day 1: Thank
God, we’re alive! We swam all day and all night until we reached land. Who knows what’s on this island.
I wouldn’t know, but first, we have to sleep and rest. - Ratty Day 2: Today, we walked around the island.
I climbed a tree and all I saw was the deep blue sea. I told my friends there was nothing but the deep
blue sea. When I went down, I felt the hot sand. Ouch! We’re also hungry, we must find food. - Monkey
Day 3: Today we went swimming and fishing. There were sea-urchins in the sea. Ouch! My belly was hit
by a sea- urchin. Now we must find fresh water. Who knows how we can carry it! - Froggy Day 4: Today
we climbed a volcano. It was tough! We walked, and ran. Ducky flew at times, I usually swing from the
branches of one tree to another. I felt tired. At the top was a pool of fresh rain water. We tasted it.
Hmm,
82. 189 delicious! We wanted to explore more of the island. - Ducky - Monkey Day 5: Today we walked
across the island. There were banana trees and coconut trees. They were big and tall. One coconut fruit
fell behind me and hit my leg. Ouch! Now we must make a shelter. Who knows how can we make one? -
Doggy Day 6: Today we made a shelter out of bamboo and palm leaves. We felt cool and happy in our
new home. We had fish, fruit, milk and water. Now, we must have some music! After all, I have an
animal band. - Horsey Day 7: Today the band practiced on the beach. We saw a ship on the horizon. We
waved our hands but it didn’t see us, especially me. Who knows who can stop the next ship! -Turtle Day
8: This morning the band played on the beach. We saw a ship sailing towards us. We made the music
louder and louder. I blew my seashells and the ship stopped. Huh! Did it hit another rock? Oh, no! -
Carabao It’s a miracle the ship heard the band and came to rescue us, We’re finally leaving the island.
We’re going home! I’m going home with new helpful friends. - Captain Goat When we arrived at the
port, the horse asked, “Would you like another adventure?” All the animals in the band looked at each
other and said, “Hip hip Hurray! Hip hip Hurray!” - Carabao - Captain Goat

107. 214 Unit 2 - Lesson 18 The Bundle of Sticks Activity 185 Read and Remember A. Let us read the
following story. As we read it, be ready to answer the questions that follow. The Bundle of Sticks A long
time ago, there was a father who had three sons. He felt sad because his sons always quarrelled among
themselves. He tried to solve their fights with his gentle words but he failed. One day, he told his three
sons “Bring me a bundle of sticks.” He placed the bundle of sticks in the hands of his first son and
ordered him, “Break it!” The first son tried with all his strength but was not able to do it. “Now son,
break the bundle of sticks, he ordered his second son. The second son tried but he, too, failed. So, the
last son was also asked to break the bundle of sticks. He tried but failed also like his brothers. “I’m sorry,
father. I couldn’t break the bundle of sticks,” he said. The father separated the bundle of sticks. He took
the sticks separately, one by one. He put them in the hands of his sons. He asked them to break it. Each
of the sons was able to break it. Each of them was able to break the sticks very easily. Then the father
told his sons, “My sons, if you stay together and help each other, you will be as strong as this bundle of
sticks. But if you are divided among yourselves,
108. 215 you will be broken easily like each single stick.” The sons understood what their father meant.
“Oh, thank you, Father!” the sons said in chorus. “We promise not to quarrel each other anymore,” the
first son said. “We also promise to be together no matter what happens,” the second son said. Adapted
