2. Presentation
Directions: Read the story carefully.

Read the paragraph carefully.

Father’s work was transferred to Cabanatuan
City, so our family had to go with him. This big city is
about two-and-a-half hours by car from Manila. It is a
busy place with a big market and hundreds of tricycles.
Mother said life here is easier and less stressful. She
said the weather in the village where we live is good for
me. The food items sold are cheaper and fresher
because they come from nearby towns. The cathedral
is the biggest attraction in this city. Its quiet
atmosphere, wide doors, and beautiful collection of
saints bring peace to one’s heart. The school beside it
is big and full of excited and noisy students. The most
attractive thing for me is the quadrangle in the middle
of the campus. It is smaller than our school here in
Manila but I find the pupils more friendly and more
sincere. I think my life here in Cabanatuan will be the
most memorable for me.

Answer the following questions about the passage.

1. Who transferred to another place?
2. If you were the child, what would you say to your
mother/father about your transfer to another place?
3. What if the writer’s sister does not like to transfer because
of her friends in school? What will be your advice to her?
Why? (To show love and concern for the family.)
4. How else can you show your family that you love and care
for them?

The story tells about being responsible, loving, and caring

for the family.

learners to make predictions and enhance comprehension.

The Blossoming Responsibility

Once in a village, three friends named Carla, Anna, and
Tessa decided to plant flowers. Each friend chose a
different-sized flower to nurture – Carla had a small one,
Anna a medium-sized one, and Tessa a large, vibrant
flower.
As they tended to their gardens, a sudden storm swept
through village. In response, Carla hurriedly covered his
small flower with a tiny umbrella, Anna shielded his
medium-sized flower with a makeshift shelter, and Tessa
carefully enveloped his large flower with a substantial
protective barrier.

When the storm passed and the sun reappeared, only

Tessa’s flower stood tall and vibrant. The other flowers had
wilted due to insufficient protection.
The friends realized that being responsible meant taking the
necessary steps to ensure the well-being of what they cared
about. They understood that responsibilities come in
different sizes, just like their flowers, and the degree of care
matters.

From that day forward, the three friends embraced the

lesson learned in the village, to always be like Tessa, taking
responsibility seriously, no matter the size of the task. And
so, their adventures continued with a newfound
understanding of responsibility.
