Provide the students the story about “The Courageous Husky” and read to them altogether

Once upon a time, in an animal farm was a little husky puppy. He enjoyed the fresh air of morning. Across the
street came a big yellow cat. “Hey little puppy, you just crossed my territory” Muning said. The puppy apologized, but the
cat said, “Saying sorry is not enough”. She showed her claws and hit him. On the puppy’s face are the traces of the cat’s
claws. Husky puppy was afraid that he chose to run away. “I am stronger than you are” teased the Muning to her rival.

Each day, Muning hits little Husky all over again. The cat became Husky’s fear because he thought that he was
weaker than the cat was. As months passed by, the little puppy grew and became a big Husky dog. However, he was still
afraid of Muning, for he still had his mindset – I am weaker than the cat.

Under the warm sunshine walked the dog. Muning stopped him. Husky dog stepped backward while bowing.
He said, “Please do not hurt me”. With her winning smile, Muning raised her claws and aimed them to Husky
dog’s face.

Red, the rooster saw the incident and asked, “Are you afraid of the cat, Husky? That’s ridiculous.” Both of them
stared at him. “Look at yourself! Husky, you are a big dog now. You grow stronger and bigger. Be aware of your
strength. Fight against your fear!” said Red, the rooster.

At the surface of pool water was Husky dog’s reflection. He was now aware of his size. “Yes, I am growing. I
can do something better now” Husky dog said, walking forward to Muning. He stared at her. He took a deep
breath to control his strength. “Woof, Woof, Wooof!” Husky dog was barking madly at the yellow cat.

Muning was trembling as she stepped backward. Then, she turned around and ran away. “Now, you are really
yellow. Stop bullying,” said Rooster.

 Who are the characters mentioned in the story?

 What did Muning always do with Husky the dog?
 Why is bullying not a good thing to do towards others?
 How can you prevent from being bullied by another person?
 What should you do to avoid hurting someone else’s feelings?

4. Discussion
From the story earlier, there were highlighted sentences. What can you say with the placement each word?

Under the warm sunshine walked the dog

On the puppy’s face are the traces of the cat’s claws.
At the surface of pool water was Husky dog’s reflection.
When the subject of a sentence comes before the verb, the sentence is in Natural Order.
When the verb or part the verb comes before the subject, the sentence is in Inverted Order.

Most questions are in inverted order. A sentence has inverted when an adverb, a helping verb, or a
prepositional phrase is located at the beginning of the sentence and modifies the verb instead of the subject.

Ask the students to make the inverted sentences to their natural order by identifying the subject and
the verb. Fill up the table provided.
