questions for our discussion. Kindly read.
Before we proceed discussing the story. Let

worm into air yet never bothered to
look where it fell?
7. When Dodong asked permission to
get married, his father felt sorry for
him. So did Dodong when Blas asked
for permission to get married. Why
then do you think that they did not
prevent their sons from experiencing
those hardships that they’ve gone
through?

life.

Dodong, Teang, Lucio, Blas, Tona,
and Dodong’s mother and father.

rural place where most people work
in fields. There were rice fields all

petroleum lamp to light their
houses.

her life with the interminable
household work – cooking,
laundering, cleaning the house and
taking care of the children. She
became shapeless even at the
young age.
6. His reaction towards it revealed that
from the very beginning Dodong's
character is someone who is self-
obsessed to the point that he doesn't
bother to look at the consequences
of his actions.
 7. It is because both fathers married
early, they lacked the experience
and the know-how with regards to
raising children: hence the fact that
they were unable to fulfill their
responsibility as parents in guiding
their kids down a wiser path.

which means one must experience

And I knew for sure
I was loved
If I could get another chance
Another walk
Another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
How I'd love love love
To dance with my father again
When I and my mother
Would disagree
To get my way I would run
From her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
yeah yeah
Then finally make me do
Just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he
Would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glance
One final step
One final dance with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
Cause I'd love love love to
Dance with my father again
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd hear how mama would cry for him
I'd pray for her even more than me
I'd pray for her even more than me
I know I'm praying for much to much
But could you send her
The only man she loved
I know you don't do it usually
But Dear Lord
She's dying to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream

Task 6: Let’s Be Clear!
The teacher asks the students about the
message of the quotation.

Possible Answer:
We have to be aware of the things that we
are doing. We could not go back to the time
just because we wanted to. Every decision
that we do must be according to our self-
growth. Big life change like marriage is
something that we should take seriously to
avoid repentance and regrets.

problems. Therefore, before entering to a
married life, we must not only think twice but
a hundred times. This story serves as an
eye-opener for everyone to think twice
before doing uncertain things in life. We have
to be physically, mentally and financially
stable before entering a new stage of our
lives. We have to remember that we control
our own life. Making lifetime decisions is in
our hands.
