“The King and the Singing Bird”

Once upon a time, there was a bird that had a beautiful voice. The bird lived at the top of the tallest tree in the forest. Every morning, the bird sang so beautifully that all the animals in the forest felt glad to be alive One day, the bird far-away sang so loudly and happily that the king in his castle heard the beautiful melody.

“I want that bird,” shouted the king, who was used to getting his own way. Hunters brought the bird in a cage to the king.

“Sing for me,” announced the king. The bird refused.

“Then I’ll eat you for dinner,” said the king.

The cook was afraid but the bird told her not to worry. “Even a king cannot destroy a beautiful idea,” the bird said.

​

The cook gently stroked the bird before putting it into the pot. At dinner, the king ate the bird. The king started to swell up. He got the wickedness of his life poured out to him from all over the land.

Then, the people in the kingdom heard a song more beautifully than any they have ever heard before.

1. Chronological order – where the sequence is based on time or when the events happened.

2. Processes or Instructions on how to do things

​

​

Read all the sentences. Decide which sentence should come first. Then, arrange the rest of the sentences in proper order. Use numbers to show the sequence. Copy the correctly arranged sentences to form a paragraph

DAY 2

What are the ways in sequencing events?

There are several ways of sequencing ideas.

1. Chronological order – where the sequence is based on time or when the events happened.

​

2. Processes or Instructions on how to do things

​

​

Study the following words by analyzing each of them.

triANGLE

SLOWly

FOOLish

What have you noticed about each word?

Do the capitalized letters in each words refer to root words?

​

What is a root word?

A root word has no prefix or suffix — it's the most basic part of a word. The root word at the heart of "conformity," for example, is "form.“

In linguistics, a root word holds the most basic meaning of any word. It's what's left after you remove all the affixes — the prefixes like "un-" or "anti-" and suffixes such as "-able" and "-tion." With a word like "lovely," when you take away the suffix "-ly," you're left with the root word "love." Other words, like "schoolhouse" and "armchair," are made up of two root words together

What are prefixes?

Prefixes are added to the beginning of roots or root words.

mis-, dis-, im-, un-, pre-, under-, etc

​

What are suffixes?

A suffix is a letter or group of letters added at the end of a word which makes a new word.

-ful, -ism, -ness, -ion, -ment, etc.

​

Study the table of prefix and suffix to be used with its meaning.

The Fox and the Crow� an Aesop Fable

A fox was walking through the forest when he saw a crow sitting on a tree branch with a fine piece of cheese in her beak. The fox wanted the cheese and decided he would be clever enough to outwit the bird.

"What a noble and gracious bird I see in the tree!" proclaimed the fox, "What exquisite beauty! What fair plumage! If her voice is as lovely as her beauty, she would no doubt be the jewel of all birds.“

​

The crow was so flattered by all this talk that she opened her beak and gave a cry to show the fox her voice.

"Caw! Caw!" she cried, as the cheese dropped to the ground for the fox to grab

1. Who are the characters in the story?

2. Where is the setting? Give the time and the place.

3. What are the events that took place in the story?

We can use some graphic organizers for texts that we have listened to or we have read. Story grammar organizer - refers to the structure of the story. It organizes your thoughts and ideas in appropriate and right way. Here are some of the examples:

What skills do we develop in using a graphic organizer?

A graphic organizer is a tool or process to build word knowledge by relating similarities of meaning to the definition of the word.

It is commonly used in the story grammar in which information/details and even thoughts are properly organized.

Evaluation:

Read the story, “THE FISHERMAN’S DAUGHTER” and choose one of the graphic organizers that were discussed to answer the guide questions.

The Fisherman’s Daughter: A Fairy Tale

There was once a poor fisherman. He lived by the sea with only the rolling waves to keep him company. A good man, he only caught what he needed and respected the sea and its creatures with a deep and steady devotion.�One blustery evening, having just finished supper, he sat alone with his thoughts when he heard a soft knocking at the door. So gentle was the sound that he thought he must have been mistaken. But the sound came again, so he roused himself and went to the door. There stood a maiden lovelier than a lily in the moonlight with long rippling hair and deep blue eyes. She smiled and her teeth were soft rounded oyster pearls. Not a regular maiden then, a sea-nymph. She asked him for shelter for the night and he willingly let her in.

roused himself and went to the door. There stood a maiden lovelier than a lily in the moonlight with long rippling hair and deep blue eyes. She smiled and her teeth were soft rounded oyster pearls. Not a regular maiden then, a sea-nymph. She asked him for shelter for the night and he willingly let her in.

In the morning when the fisherman awoke, and he woke early as fishermen do, the lovely sea-nymph was gone. On the pillow where she had lain rested a piece of pink  coral. Being a wise

a wise man, he tucked the coral into a small box and tried not to think too much of the event.�Three months later, on a similarly stormy night, the fisherman again heard the gentle knock on the door and this time he did not wait for it to come again. There stood the sea-nymph, more beautiful than before, and she asked for shelter for the night. He let her in and the night passed as it had last time. When he awoke, quite early, as was his custom, she had gone, but she had left a silver fish scale on her pillow. He stowed the

scale away with the coral in the tiny box and tried not to think of it anymore.�After another three months had passed, the fisherman again heard the knock through the wind of the storm. The sea-nymph asked for shelter and he let her in as before. Just as he was falling asleep, he heard her whisper in his ear,

“You have been good to me and my people, taking, as a true man should, the ebb and flow of the sea. I leave you tonight a small starfish. Plant it in your back garden and in three months time

my last gift will be yours.”�In the morning when the fisherman awoke, before the light of first dawn, the sea-nymph was gone and on her pillow lay a limp starfish. Remembering her words, he took the starfish into his vegetable garden and planted it with care.�In three months’ time, the fisherman was sitting alone after finishing his supper when he heard a whimper from the garden. He went outside and there, in the earth, right where he had planted the starfish, rested a smiling baby. She was a

lovely little thing with clear, sparkling eyes and pudgy little fists. He picked her up joyfully, not questioning her arrival, and brought her inside.�As the years passed, the baby grew into a delightful girl. With each day her kind heart shone brighter and her beauty burned stronger. She was the joy of her father’s life.�As she her legs grew strong enough to support her and her eyes became curious, she learned to observe what was around her and to question the things she did not understand.

“Father, who is my mother and why is she not here to take care of me?”�“Your mother is the sea and the Earth has nurtured you and takes care of you still.”�The girl was satisfied with this answer and, indeed, she had no reason not to be.�As the girl’s limbs lengthened and her hair grew long, she learned to defend herself from the beasts that wandered out of the nearby forest and the dangers of an angry sea.�“Father, who is my mother and why is she not

here to protect me?”�“Your mother is the sea and the Earth has shielded you and protects you still.”�The girl was satisfied with this answer and, indeed, she had no reason not to be.�As her fingers grew slender and her figure curved, she learned to make use of the plants, wind, and sways of the moon.�“Father, who is my mother and why is she not here to teach me?”

“Your mother is the sea and the Earth has blessed you with knowledge and teaches you still.”�And although the girl asked no more, she was not satisfied, for she now felt compelled to learn more of her mother and her past.�One day, she went to the fisherman and said,�“Dearest father, you have given me all that I have ever wanted and then some, but I desire to search the wide world and discover who I am and this I must do for myself.”�The wise fisherman reluctantly agreed, but before she left he brought out the tiny box with the pink coral and the silver fish scale.�“Keep these with you. They came from the sea just as you did and will guide you in your travels.”

The wise fisherman reluctantly agreed, but before she left he brought out the tiny box with the pink coral and the silver fish scale.�“Keep these with you. They came from the sea just as you did and will guide you in your travels.”

The girl kissed her father and, taking the sea-nymph’s gifts, set out into the world.�The first day on her own, the fisherman’s daughter entered a large forest with trees as tall as mountains. Unafraid, she wandered deeper

and deeper into the shadows until she came to a small cottage in a clearing.�“How peculiar to see a little house so alone in so great a forest,” she said to herself, “I wonder who could live here.”�She went up to the little door and gave it a resounding knock. There was no answer. So, she went around to the back of the cottage and there was an old woman crouched low to the ground, weeding her garden.�“Good day!” called out the fisherman’s daughter, “I am seeking shelter for the night and this is the only home I have seen in this great forest. Will you be good enough to let me stay?”�The old woman looked up and, after a moment’s hesitation, nodded and beckoned the girl to come forward.

“I am seeking shelter for the night and this is the only home I have seen in this great forest. Will you be good enough to let me stay?”�The old woman looked up and, after a moment’s hesitation, nodded and beckoned the girl to come forward.

“If you can fill three baskets with these herbs before the sun has set, you may stay the night, if you cannot, you must sleep under the open sky.”�“That seems fair enough,” said the girl and fell to her knees to begin her work.�

her knees to begin her work.�Although the fisherman’s daughter was well versed in plants, this was an herb that she had never seen before and as she picked she worried herself over what it could be. It was a dark green, almost black, with pointed leaves and curled up edges. As she picked, its soft leaves left a thin film on her fingers and gave off a sweet sleepy scent. She began to yawn and her hands became clumsy.�“Oh, that I could stop for a moment to rest,” she thought, “My fingers are so tired and my eyes

seem to not be my own, for they want to close when I do all I can to keep them open.”

Yet, she dared not pause, for she could feel the old woman’s eyes watching her from the window and sense the dusk fast approaching.�Try as she might, the fisherman’s daughter could not keep her head from eventually drooping and her hands fell limp at her sides.�The next that she knew, she was lying flat on her back, night had fallen and the third basket was only half full. The old woman came hobbling out

of the cottage, snatched up the baskets and said,

“Since you could not finish your work, you may not come inside, but will lie there on the ground at the mercy of the wild beasts.”�Frightened, the fisherman’s daughter tried to bend her legs, to sit up, but in vain. Her body felt so heavy and her will alone could not move it. All she could manage was to drag her arms across her body and little good that would do in the face of a hungry animal. It was as if all her strength had left her.�

“Oh Mother Earth, as I have been good to you and you have always protected me, help me now escape from this dreadful spell!”�The wind rustled and a gentle voice sighed, “Daughter of the Sea, child of the Earth, take out your piece of pink coral and scrape the herb’s sap off your palm.”�The girl did this and, no sooner were her hands clean, then she could move freely and her strength returned. She sprang up and left the clearing as quickly as she could and spent the

night high up in a tree. When morning came, the fisherman’s daughter climbed down from the tree and continued on her way. In time she came to the edge of the great forest where stood a huntsman’s lodge. This looked as good a place as any to stay so she knocked on the door and said,�“Good huntsman, I have been wandering all though the great forest and need a good home to rest in, will you be so kind as to let me stay a while?”�The kind huntsman at once welcomed her in and

gave her food and a bed.�In the morning, the huntsman took his bow and arrows and said to the girl,�“I must go out and hunt. Block the door and let no one in for there is a powerful enchanter who lives not far from here and if you should give him entrance he will make you his prisoner.”�Thus the huntsman departed leaving the fisherman’s daughter on her own. She made use of her time cleaning the small house.�Around midday there came a knock on the door

and a voice called out,�“It is I, the huntsman, let me in!”

Innocent that she was, the girl unbolted and opened the door.�“Foolish child!” said the huntsman, “Do you want to be made prisoner to the enchanter? I thought I told you to let no one in!”�Ashamed the fisherman’s daughter hung her head and promised to let no one in.�The next morning the huntsman said,�“I must go out and hunt. Remember to bolt the

door and open it for no one for the enchanter takes many guises and you may easily be his prey.” Thus the huntsman departed and the girl was left alone. Making use of her time, she washed all the huntsman’s linens.�Around midafternoon there came a knock on the door and a voice called out,�“It is I, the huntsman, let me in!”�Having learned her lesson once, but still too naïve, the girl unbolted and opened the door.

Foolish child! Now it is twice. I have warned you

against the enchanter. What if it were he and not I at the door? You would be lost to this world!”�Ashamed the fisherman’s daughter hung her head and promised to let no one in.�On her third morning there, the huntsman again left her with instructions not to let anyone enter. To fill the lonely hours, the girl darned the huntsman’s worn out socks, and as she did she sang, “The enchanter is clever and takes many forms, make not his prisoner by letting him indoors.”

The day passed uneventfully and the fisherman’s daughter was beginning to wonder when the huntsman would return when a knock sounded at the door. She jumped up to answer, but just then she thought to herself,�“Remember the huntsman’s warning and the evil enchanter. Oh what shall I do? How should I know whether or not it is my friend the huntsman?”�She stood unsure in the middle of the room until her better wisdom shone through and then she said,“Mother Earth, as I have been good to you

and you have guided me in the past, help me now see who is at the door.”�The wooden walls creaked and a voice sighed,�“Daughter of the Sea, child of the Earth, take out the silver fish scale and hold it up to the door. For a true friend it will remain pure silver, but for a false friend it will turn murky black.” The fisherman’s daughter did this and the fish scale turned black in her hand. Then she called out,�“Oh enchanter, you are clever, but I know who you are. Go away from here for I will not be your

prisoner!”�The enchanter, seeing that the wise fisherman’s daughter would not be his, left and never returned.�The girl stayed with the huntsman for a time, learning the ways of his hunt as she had learned the ways of her father’s. Her already extensive knowledge of all things living and growing became even more wondrous and she felt as at home amongst the trees as she had by the pulsing sea.�

One day the fisherman’s daughter was gathering strawberries when a young prince rode up on his white horse. She looked quite a pretty picture with her long flowing hair and the prince thought he had never seen so lovely a girl. He called out to her boldly,�“Kind maiden, have you any berries to spare? My brothers and I were out hunting when we became separated and I am hungry and tired from riding all day.” The fisherman’s daughter thought him a most handsome man and gladly

gave him the red berries. They talked until evening fell and then the prince rode off to rejoin his brothers. The next day the fisherman’s daughter was collecting chestnuts when the prince on the white horse rode up. He thought she looked even lovelier today and called out boldly, “Kind maiden, could you spare me some nuts? I have been hunting all day and am tired and hungry.”The girl gladly gave him the nuts and they talked until sundown and then the prince rode away.

On the third day the fisherman’s daughter was picking apples when the prince rode up on his white horse. He thought she could not look lovelier than she did now and he called boldly,�“Kind maiden, spare me an apple from you pretty hand and be my bride for I think I shall never find anyone as beautiful as you and would be made happy to spend eternity by your side.”�The fisherman’s daughter had quite fallen in love with the handsome prince by now and gladly said yes and they rode off together to the prince’s

castle, which stood overlooking the sea. There, they were met by the king and the queen. The prince introduced his bride-to-be, but his mother and father shook their heads saying,�“You are a prince and someday you shall be king and rule over many lands. You cannot marry a fisherman’s daughter; it is not right.”�The prince was devastated and grew angry with his parents but the fisherman’s daughter calmed him saying,�“Though it will break my heart to admit, they

are right. I am no wife for a king and though I shall spend my life thinking of you, you must find a suitable girl and forget me.” The king and queen were kind and saw her goodness so they let her stay the night in one of the nicest bedrooms with anything she could want, but the girl could not sleep.�Just before dawn broke, the fisherman’s daughter wandered down to the sea to be soothed by the gentle tossing of the waves. As she looked out over the rippling landscape a

a beautiful woman rose from its depths. She came to the girl and spoke,�“Do not weep, dear child, I am the queen of the sea-nymphs and some years ago I bore you as a starfish and left you in the hands of a kind fisherman. You have every right to marry the prince as you yourself are a princess. Take this golden oyster and present it to the king and queen of this land. You and the prince will be married right away and his parents will be good to you and love you like a daughter. Forget not

that the Sea is your real mother and the Earth your protector and we will be here for you always.” Handing the girl the golden oyster, the queen of the sea-nymphs sank again beneath the waves.�In the morning, the princess showed the king and the queen the beautiful shell and they recognized it at once and immediately conceded to hers and their son’s marriage.

There was much feasting and rejoicing and the huntsman and the fisherman came and were overjoyed to see the happy couple. All lived the rest of their days in peace and contentment and you can be sure that the royal children respected the sea and the earth as much as had their elders.

mostly, the sounds we hear in the city are loud and destructive. Even inside our houses much noise is created by the whirl of electric fans, the insistent ringing of cellphones, and the other household appliances. Disconnect them all and there will be silence. Haven’t you noticed when there is brownout, all noise from electrical appliances subside and silence reigns? But the again, the

noise from the revving up cars and tricycles is enough to terrorize.

In our neighborhood, we will formalize agreements with tricycle drivers to lessen the noise pollution. At home, we have to enforce discipline on the proper use of electrical appliances. We have to improve our life style in utilizing all these things that mess up our life because of noise. We hope can do all

these things to ensure a noiseless life and enjoy the pleasure of silence.
