    Theme: Childhood joys and fears Synopsis:

    The story started in the early morning when Nana Elang started to prepare their familys breakfast with Baldo as her helper. As soon as Baldo finished his work, he played with his favorite dog, the black-spotted puppy. By and by Ambo, the younger brother wakes up. He eats the banana with its skin. His brother told him to remove

    its skin but Ambo did not follow him. Later on, both brothers were busy playing with the puppies; Baldo played with the black-spotted one and Ambo with the rest. Soon, Ambo got tired of them and he wanted the black-spotted puppy. He tried to touch it but Baldo would not let him and it resulted to fight. Baldo won and got his puppy but Ambo grab its tail and jerked it hard. Baldo have to let go of the dog for it was howling. It gave opportunity for the dog to get its revenge; he bit Ambos palm. The boy cried and his cries awakened their father. He said that the dog has gone mad

    so he was going to kill him and he succeeded. Then he beat his children. Nana Elang could not do something to help her children. Afterwards, she has taken care the wounds and bruises of the sons. Then, the boys went out to find the corpse of the dog and to burry in. 5. Lessons a. Dont be selfish. Learn to share things you have, especially to your siblings. It will make you feel good. b. Choose your partners in life wisely. Know his/her character, values, and views in life. c. Be kind to animals. If you treat them good, they will return your goodness and if you treat them bad, they will return your badness. 6. I like Morning in Nabrencan I like the story Morning in Nabrencan because it reminds me that I am still lucky in spite of having a drunkard father. Firstly, he does not abuse his family. None of us have to be his punching bag whenever he gets drunk because he just sleeps peacefully. Secondly, he respects his family. I rarely hear him speak bad words and I never hear him call my mom a whore or his children son of a whore. Thirdly, he dont treat his wife and children a property. Tang Ciako thinks that he could beat his children because they were his and he can do anything he likes to them. Unlike him, dad treats us as his children. He only whips in case we need discipline. And that is why I like it. And it made me appreciate my father more.
