2. Babu and the Lion
One day, there was a slave whose name was Babu.
His master was very, very bad. You know, he often
punched Babu and did not offer him food for days.
Poor Babu! So he escaped into a forest and slept in a
cave. Next morning, he heard a loud roar. In front of
him...., at the mouth of the cave..., was a very big lion.
lion. You see, Babu was scared to death! Kind of
scary, isn’t it? But he could not escape. But the lion
didn’t attack him. It was tame. There was a large
thorn in its right front foot. The lion looked at Babu.
It seemed to say something like:”Please help me. It’s
very painful.” Babu walked bravely to the lion and
pulled out the thorn. Babu and the lion turned out to
be friends.

15. Literary Nonfiction
Literary nonfiction includes shorter texts, such as
“personal essays, speeches, opinion pieces, essays
about art or literature, biographies, memoirs,
journalism, and historical, scientific, technical, or
economic accounts (including digital sources) written
for a broad audience.” Autobiographies, biographies,
other narrative nonfiction, informational picture
books, and informational poetry often fit into this
category.

16. Procedural Texts
Procedural texts provide step-by-step guidelines that
describe how to complete a task. They often include
a materials-needed section and graphics that
illustrate the process, as found in Doug Stillinger’s
The Klutz Book of Paper Airplanes. Jane Drake and
Ann Love’s Get Outside provides readers with rules
for games and directions for making things like bird
feeders, kites, and sundials.

17. Expository Texts
Expository texts utilize various text structures,
such as description, cause and effect,
comparison and contrast, problem and
solution, question and answer, and temporal
sequence.

18. Argument or Persuasion Texts
Argument or persuasion texts provide evidence
with the intent of influencing the beliefs or actions of
the target audience. These texts typically include
claims, evidence, and warrants to explain how the
evidence is linked to the claims. Writers of
persuasion or argument also make appeals—appeals
to the author’s credibility, to the audience’s needs, or
to reason and evidence.

19. Dr Jose Protacio Rizal was born in the town of Calamba, Laguna
on 19th June 1861. The second son and the seventh among the
eleven children of Francisco Mercado and Teodora Alonso.
With his mother as his first teacher, he began his early
education at home and continued in Binan, Laguna. He entered a
Jesuit-run Ateneo Municipal de Manila in 1872 and obtained a
bachelor's degree with highest honors in 1876. He studied medicine
at the University of Santo Tomas but had to stop because he felt that
the Filipino students were being discriminated by their Dominican
tutors. He went to Madrid at Universidad Central de Madrid and in
1885 at the age of 24, he finished his course in Philosophy and Letters
with a grade of “Excellent.”

20. A sundial compass is a combination of these two instruments,
consisting of a portable sundial which is attached over a compass via a hinge.
There are some adjustable legs that need to be used to level the instrument if
not on level ground. The gnome is hinged and needs to be put in the up
position where it locks into place. There should be what looks like a protractor
that is to the right of the gnome that is on a hinge, and this needs to be
flipped up as well. The protractor is used to set the sundial to the correct
latitude angle, while the compass is used to find true north based on the
area’s magnetic north declination. Once your sundial compass has been
leveled, set to the correct latitude, and to true north, a shadow will be cast
onto the sundial’s face by the gnome. For use in the southern hemisphere, the
same procedure is followed with the exception that true South must be found
instead of true North.

21. Just like visible light, infrared light, and radio
waves, ultraviolet light is electromagnetic radiation.
On the spectrum, ultraviolet light lies between violet
light and x rays, with wavelengths ranging from four to
400 nanometers. Although it is undetectable to the
naked eye, anyone who has been exposed to too
much sunlight has probably noted the effects of
ultraviolet light, for it is this radiation that causes
tanning, sunburn, and can lead to skin cancer.

22. Teenagers are forever being told that they need a
good education so that they can have the career they
want, but many do not listen. However, it is important
to remember that your schooling, no matter how long
it may feel, lasts for just a few short years compared
to the rest of your life ahead of you. Therefore, it is
better to sacrifice a little bit of fun now so that you
can find happiness in later life, as you will be happier
if you can do a job that you enjoy and afford to do
the things you want.
