Ang Bag-ong Laybrari

Week 7.

Author: May-Ann Grace Samputon

Five friends - Eyes, Ears, Nose, Tongue and Skin - live in a place called Face Town. They are playing happily when Nose trips. He thinks that Eye pushed him so he gets angry and tells everybody that he is the most important among all of them. They all get into an argument, each one thinking that he or she is the most important. Skin, who was just listening, tells them that they should not be fighting about who is the most important because all of them are equally important.

A little boy looks outside the window eagerly waiting for his parents. He gets excited upon hearing a tricycle pass by but no mother or father comes down from it. He looks at other members of his family doing his or her task to help out in the house. Despite this, he still feels sad without his mother and father. The other family members see the little boy and comfort him. They explain why mother and father need to work. Suddenly, the moment that the little boy has been waiting for has arrived—his mother and father are back from work! They happily spend the night together.

Tito saw a nest with baby birds in it. He wanted to get the birds from the nest to play with them, but Tito's mother told him not to. She explains how the mother bird takes care of its babies by building a nest for them and by bringing them food just like how Tito's mother and father takes care of him. The mother bird and her babies will feel sad if they are separated, just like how Tito will feel sad if he is separated from his mother and father. Tito realizes that his mother is right and watches as the mother bird returns and sings with her babies.
