A Letter Soup
By Pedro Pablo Sacristan
Once upon a time there was a very evil and
unpleasant crook who only ever thought about how to get
money. Seeing anyone happy bothered the crook
enormously. What he hated most was when people were
polite and courteous to each other, saying things like
please and thank you, and don't mention it. It annoyed
him even more if they were smiling when they said these
things.
The crook thought all those kinds of words were a
useless waste, and weren't good for anything. So what
he did was spend a lot of time inventing a machine
which could steal words. With this machine, he
planned to steal 'please', 'thank you', 'don't mention
it', and similar words people used to be polite. He
was convinced that no one would notice if those words
were to suddenly disappear. When he had stolen these
words, he intended to take them apart and sell the
letters to book publishers.

7. A Letter Soup
By Pedro Pablo Sacristan
Once upon a time there was a very evil and
unpleasant crook who only ever thought about how to get
money. Seeing anyone happy bothered the crook
enormously. What he hated most was when people were
polite and courteous to each other, saying things like
please and thank you, and don't mention it. It annoyed
him even more if they were smiling when they said these
things.
8. The crook thought all those kinds of words were a
useless waste, and weren't good for anything. So what
he did was spend a lot of time inventing a machine
which could steal words. With this machine, he
planned to steal 'please', 'thank you', 'don't mention
it', and similar words people used to be polite. He
was convinced that no one would notice if those words
were to suddenly disappear. When he had stolen these
words, he intended to take them apart and sell the
letters to book publishers.
9. After he started up his machine, people would open their
mouths, intending to say kind and polite things, but nothing
came out. All those words ended up inside the big machine.
Just as the crook had hoped, in the beginning nothing
happened. It looked like people really didn't need to be
polite after all. However, after a while, people started to feel
like they were always in a bad mood, doing everything
reluctantly, and feeling like everyone else was being forever
demanding of them. So, within a few days,everyone was
angry and arguing over the slightest little thing.
10. The crook was terribly happy with his
success, but he didn't count on a couple of
very special little girls. Those girls were
deaf, and had to communicate using sign
language. Now,because the machine
couldn't steal gestures, these girls
continued being kind and polite. Soon they
realised what had been happening to
everyone else, and they found out about
the crook and his wicked plan.
11. The girls followed him to his hideout
on the top of a hill next to the sea.
There they found the enormous
machine busy separating all the
words into letters. The crook had
gone to take a nap, so the girls crept
up to the machine and started being
polite and courteous to each other.
12. Try as it might, the contraption couldn't steal those
words, and it started to suffer a power overload, which
got more and more serious as the girls went on
communicating. Finally, it exploded; sending all the letters
it had gathered flying into the sky. These letters started
coming down, like rain, and most ended up in the sea.
After that, everyone could be polite and thoughtful
again. The anger and the arguments stopped, proving
that good manners are very useful for keeping people
together in a spirit of happiness.
Seeing all those letters fall into the sea gave those two
little girls an idea. A little while later they opened a factory.
Making alphabetti spaghetti soup!
13. What did he hate so much?
What was his plan?
What did he invent?Did his machine work?
What happened to the people?
Who were not affected by the machine?
Why they were not affected?
Where was hideout located?
What did the girls do to stop him?
If you were the girls, would you have done the
same? Why?
14. •What should we remember when
listening to a literary text?
•What are the elements of a literary
text?
•What elements did you remember
from the story we read?
15. THE FOX IN THE WELL
One day a fox fell into a well. He jumped and jumped but
he could not get out. The well was too deep. Soon he
began to feel cold and hungry.
Suddenly there was a noise from above. A goat had
come to drink from the well. It looked in and saw the fox.
“Why, what are you doing down there, Mr. Fox?” asked the
goat.
The fox was very cunning. Quickly, he thought of a way
to trick the goat. “Oh, I’m drinking,” he said.
“Down there? But there’s water in the bucket up here.”
“Yes, I know,” said the fox. “But the water down here is
much sweeter.
16. Why don’t you come down and taste it for yourself?”
“I think I will do that.” And the silly animal jumped into
the well.
At once the fox leapt on to the goat’s back. And from
there he soon jumped out of the well.
“Hey! Where are you going?” cried the goat. “What
about me? How am I going to get out of here?”
“Ah-ha, you silly goat,” laughed the fox. “Don’t you
think you should have thought of that before you
jumped in?”
And still laughing to himself he ran off, leaving the
poor goat in the well.
17. Base from the story read, answer the
following questions.
•Who was trapped in the well?
•Who came passing one day?
•What convinced the goat to go down the
well?
•How did the fox get out of the well?
•What is the moral of the story?
18. When listening to story being read, we should listen
carefully and pay attention to the details of the story.
In this way we can identify the elements of a literary
text.
We could also take down notes while listening and
reading.
The elements of a literary text are the character,
setting, and plot, conflict, and theme.
The theme is the subject of the story and what the
author wants to convey to the readers.
Remember
19. The Queue
by Jean Paul V. Banay
It was 9:30 in the morning at Labuin Elementary School. It
was already break time for Grade V-Coral. Children line up in a queue
to go the canteen to have their recess.
At the canteen, the children lined up in a queue waiting for
their turn to buy their food. Luke, a Grade 3 pupil rushed in front of
the queue and shouted at the canteen manager for food.
Calmly, the canteen manager said to Luke “Luke, it is not
nice to shout at people, especially when you’re at the canteen. And
we should observe the rules inside the canteen. Look at these
children, they line up in a queue and wait for their turn. You should
do the same.” said the canteen manager.
After that day, Luke lined up in the queue and asked politely
for food.

Writing Compositions
Using Aspects of Verbs
51. OBJECTIVES
•Compose clear and coherent
sentences using appropriate
grammatical structures – aspects
of verbs.
•Plan a two or three paragraph
composition using an outline or
other graphic organizers.
52. •Setting Up the Stage
Sing “She’ll be coming round the mountain”
•Explaining the Students What to Do
Say: “Today we are going to write about the
aspects of verb”
“But first, what are verbs?”
“What are the tenses of verbs?”
53. Read and Learn
Read the following
sentences and notice the
difference between the
underlined words.
•I wash the car.
•I am washing the car.
•I have washed the car.
1. What have you noticed about
the words?
2. What does this remind you
about verbs?
54. Let us study the following sentences.
A.In the sentence “I wash the car.”,wash, which is
the verb, is the simple form. The time when the
action was done is indefinite or we are unsure if it is
on-going or completed. Thus, this sentence is in the
simple aspect of the verb.
B.While in the sentence “I am washing the
car”,washing, which is the verb, is in the present
progressive form, which tells us that the action is
on-going.
55. Try and Learn
Try and answer the following.
Write the correct aspect of the verb for the
following sets of sentences.
1. walk (present)
a. Sarah __________ to school. (simple)
b. Sarah ________________ to school.
(present progressive)
c. Sarah ________________ to school.
(present perfect)
2. cook (present)
a. Mother __________ dinner for us.(simple)
b. Mother __________________ dinner for us.
(present progressive)
c. Mother __________________ dinner for us.
(present perfect)
56. 3. water (present)
a. Francis __________ the garden. (simple)
b. Francis ____________________ the garden. (present
progressive)
c. Francis ____________________ the garden. (present
perfect)
4. play (past)
a. I _______________ in the plaza. (simple)
b. I _______________ in the plaza. (past
perfect)
c. I _______________________ in the
plaza. (past perfect progressive)
57. 5. read (past)
a. We _______________ books in the library.
(simple)
b. We _______________ books in the
library. (past perfect)
c. We ________________ books in the
library.(past perfect progressive)
58. The aspect of a verb is determined by whether the
action is on-going or completed.
The three aspects are:
i.The simple aspect is indefinite, not sure
if the action is on-going or completed. It
may also indicate if the action is habitual
or repeated action.
ii.In the perfect aspect the task is already
completed.
iii.While in the progressive aspect, the
action is still taking place or on-going.
The same principle applies to the past form of the verb.
59. Do and Learn
Read the following sentences. Have the
pupils identify what is the aspect of the verb
used in the sentence. Write SPR for simple
present, SPS for simple past, PRP for present
progressive, PSP for past perfect, PPF for
present perfect, and PPP for past perfect
progressive.
1. Romina studied her lesson for the
test.
2. Father rides the bus to go to work.
3. I have been cleaning my room.

What is an outline?
An outline is a formal system used to think and
organize your ideas. You can use it to see if your ideas
are connected to each other and what order works best.
Outlines can be useful to help you see the overall
picture.
There are two kinds of outlines: the topic outline
and the sentence outline.
•The topic outline consists of words or short phrases.
•The sentence outline is done in full sentences. It is
normally used when you want to focus on complex
details.
61. Steps in making an outline:
1. Identify the topic or the
main idea.
2.Identify the main
categories.
3. Create the first
category.
4. Create subcategories.
62. Normally, use Roman numerals to write the main idea. Then under the main
idea, we indent and write the first subcategory with a capital letter. See the
example below.
If you are to report on animals found in the farm and what they give
us, here is an example:
I. Chickens
A. Gives us eggs.
B. Gives us meat.
