6. The Stranger
(A Summary)
It is a story about David
who is a transferee student
from San Fernando,
Pamapanga to Malabon.
Because he is new to the
barrio and could answer the
questions of their teacher,
many of his classmates do
not like him.

7. One time during recess,
he offered his classmates a
bunch of puto seco that his
grandmother had baked,
fortunately, his classmates
find them delicious. Since
then, his classmates started
approaching him nicely.

8. Time goes by and his
classmates got to know more
about David and befriended
him. They discovered that
David is a good swimmer and
so they decided to ride a
banca and go to dagat-
dagatan for a swim.

9. After a while, Pendong
started to sink and drown.

10. All of Pendong’s friend
were too tired and scared to
get him, all except for David.
He swam towards Pendong
and save him.

11. The heroic deed of
David became the talk of the
town and everybody looked
at him with pride.
