Ang Aso sa Lungga

May isang asong gutom na gutom na naglalakad
sa kalsada. Habang naglalakad, ibinubulong
niya sa sarili na kailangan niyang makakita ng
isang lunggang puno ng pagkain. Nang
makakita siya ng lungga sa dulo ng kalsada,
agad siyang pumasok dito. Kumain siya
hanggang mabusog.
Pero kahit busog na siya, kumain pa rin at
inubos ang lahat ng pagkain sa loob ng lungga.
Sa kanyang kabusugan, halos pumutok ang
Malaki niyang tiyan. Nang lalabas na lamang
siya, napansin niyang hindi na siya magkasya sa
labasan. Sumigaw siya upang humingi ng
tulong. Dumating ang isa pang aso at nalaman
ang nangyari. Bago ito umalis, nagwika siya sa
kasamang aso, “Hintayin mo na lang umimpis
ang tiyan mo.”
Si Muning!

Muning! Muning! Hanap nang hanap si Susan

kay Muning. Dala ni Susan ang
lalagyan ng pagkain ni Muning. May laman na
ang lalagyan, pero wala
si Muning. Wala siya sa kusina. Wala rin siya sa
silid. Nasaan kaya si Muning? Bumaba ng bahay
si Susan. Hinanap niya kung naroon si Muning.
Ikot na siya nang ikot, pero hindi pa rin niya
nakita. Baka lumabas ito ng bahay. Ngiyaw!
Ngiyaw! Hayun si Muning! Ngiyaw siya nang
ngiyaw. Nasa loob siya ng
kahon. May mga kasama si Muning sa loob ng
kahon. Nakita ni Susan ang kasama ni Muning.
Mga kuting ang kasama ni Muning sa kahon! May
puti, itim at magkahalong puti at itim na kulay ng
kuting. Tuwang-tuwa si Susan!

coins again. “May I have
two cones?” he asked. The vendor nodded. Benito and
Nelia left with a smile.

At Last!

The spotted egg finally hatched. Out came a little bird

who was afraid. The tree where his mother built their
nest was just too tall. “I don’t know how to fly,” he
thought. He looked around for his mother, but she was
not there. Where could she be? He looked down and
felt his legs shake. He started to get dizzy and fell out
of his nest. He quickly flapped his wings. At last – he
was flying
