Ted helps his family by calling taxis for passengers and getting tips. One passenger, an old man, gives Ted a bag of pancit to share with his family. The next day, the old man offers Ted work cleaning his house after school to help his family more. Ted's parents are happy about the new arrangement which allows Ted to continue helping his family without having to call taxis.

11. “Taxi, Sir? I’ll get one for you.”
I am Ted. After school I stay
outside the gate of the village
near our house. I call taxis for
people who need them. I am
most happy when a passenger
gives me one peso. This is how
I help my parents buy food for
my brothers and sisters.
One day, an old man
asked me to call for a taxi
and gave me a paper bag.
“Ted, take this home to
your family,” he said.
“Thank you, sir,” I told
him. I ran home to share
the bag with my family.
“Pancit!” shouted my little sister
as she opened the bag. My five
brothers and two sisters ran to
the table. We all shared the
pancit. “Where did you
get the money to buy pancit?”
Nanay asked. “I called for a taxi
for an old man and he gave me
a bag of pancit. He told me to
share it with you,” I replied.

12. The next day, the man called
me again but not for a taxi.
“Would you like to help clean
my house?” he asked.
“Oh yes, but when? You see, I
go to school,” I answered.
“I will send you to school.”
“Really?” I asked.
“Yes, I will,” he said.
“Ah, but I don’t want to be
away from my family,”
I added. “You are not leaving
them. After school you come
help me clean the house.
Then, you can go home,” the
man explained. “Thank you.
I like that. My parents will
like the good news,” I said.
My parents were
happy.
I like working for the
kind, old man. I don’t
have to call for taxis
anymore.
