 Unlocking of Difficulties
There was a dog walking on the seashore. He went on island
hopping with his master. Along his way, he found a bone. He
quickly picked it up and ran back to the boat. As he was looking
down on the side of the boat, he saw another dog in the water
with a big bone. He barked at the dog. How foolish for him to bark
with a bone in his mouth! His bone fell into the sea. The dog in
the water disappeared as the bone fell. The dog was so sad that
his bone was gone, too. But his master brought home a basket full
of fish. The dog will surely have something for dinner.
by: Michelle L. Mercado

What does foolish mean in the paragraph? What other words

in the paragraph mean the same as foolish? Where did the
bone fall? Is there really another dog in the water? How much
fish did his master brought home?
 The Five Foolish Fishermen
The five foolish fishermen went to the sea to fish.
When they got back, the first fisherman said,
“Let us see if there are still five of us.”
So he counted, “One, two, three, four.”
“Oh, no!” he cried. We are only four!”

What happened to the other fisherman?

“Let me count,” said the second fisherman.

“One, two, three, four!” You are right! We are only four!”
“Maybe one of us fell into the sea!” cried the third fisher- man.
“What shall we do?” asked the fourth fisherman.

What did the fishermen do?

And they began to cry.

Who do you think would help the fishermen find the

missing fisherman

A little girl came. “Why are you crying?” she asked.

“Five of us went to the sea to fish.
But only four of us came back!
One of us is lost!” answered the fishermen.
They all cried again. “Boo hu hu!

Can a little girl like her help the fishermen find the
lost fisherman?

“Let me count,” said the little girl.

“One, two, three, four, five! There are five of you!”
“Why, what a smart girl you are!” said the five fishermen. They were so
happy. They gave her a basket full of fish.
 Discussion:
 What was the fishermen’s problem?
 Did any fisherman fall into the sea?
 How did the fishermen count themselves?
 Who helped the fishermen count themselves?
 Is there really a missing fisherman? Why or why not?
 When one of the fishermen said, “Maybe one of us fell into
the sea,” is that a fact or an opinion?
 What word in his sentence makes it an opinion?
 To check the idea that one of them fell into the sea, what
should they do?
 If you were one of the fishermen, how would you count
yourselves?

 The Tortoise that Wanted
to Fly
There was once a tortoise who
was never satisfied. He lived on the
sweet grass by the forest pool but
he felt very bored.
One day, he noticed a large eagle
flying overhead. He looked very
graceful, flying so easily that the
tortoise decided he would learn how
to fly too.
When the eagle came to rest on
a rock near the pool, the tortoise got
his chance and said, “Oh, handsome
eagle, you fly so well. Please teach
me how to fly.”
 The eagle was surprised. “What? Teach you how to fly? You have no
wings or feathers!”
Again the tortoise pleaded, “Oh please eagle, I’m sure I can learn.”
The tortoise continued asking the eagle to teach him how to fly.
Finally, the eagle agreed.
He picked up the tortoise with his claws and they flew high in the sky.
Then he let go off the tortoise and told him to flap his legs and fly.
The tortoise flapped his legs as hard as he could, but he fell like a stone
towards the ground. Luckily, he fell into a bush.
He was badly shaken but he had no serious injuries.
