The story is about a mouse who teases a sleeping lion by walking across its body, upsetting the other mice. When the lion awakens and catches the mouse, the mouse begs for mercy, promising to repay the lion someday. Though skeptical, the lion spares the mouse. Later, when the lion is trapped by hunters, the mouse comes to the lion's aid and sets him free, keeping his promise. The lion learns that even small creatures can help great friends.
Volcanoes form when magma from the Earth's upper mantle works its way to the surface. Over time, as the volcano continues erupting, it grows in size. Volcanic eruptions are often caused by the movement of tectonic plates - the Earth's crust is made up of huge slabs that move and collide, causing friction, earthquakes, and volcanic activity near the plate boundaries. There are over 1,500 active volcanoes on Earth currently, many located along the Pacific Ring of Fire, an area encircling the Pacific Ocean that experiences frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and is home to over 50% of the world's active volcanoes.
The document provides information about several cultural festivals celebrated in the Philippines. It discusses the Pahiyas Festival in Lucban, Quezon which thanks patrons for bountiful harvests.

The document discusses the foundations that influence curriculum development, including psychology, sociology, philosophy, and history.

2. Isang araw, may ibinalita
sa akin si Nanay.
Ang sabi niya,
“Anak, tayo ay maglilipat-bahay!”
Mas malaki, mas maganda,
mas magara, mas makulay.
Ganyan daw ang bagong tirahang
sa amin ay naghihintay.
3. Wow!
Ako ay lubhang nasorpresa
at nagalak.
Napatalon pa nga ako
sa tuwa at pumalakpak.
Naisip ko,
ito’y isang nakakasabik
na kabanata;
Para sa akin
at sa aming
malaking pamilya.
4. Pero, teka!
Bigla naman akong natigilan.
Ilang tanong ang pumasok
sa aking murang isipan.
Madadala kaya namin
ang lahat ng kagamitan?
Wala kayang
importanteng maiiwanan?
5. Makakasama ba ang lahat
ng kapamilya ko?
‘Di kaya mahirap puntahan ‘yun
at masyadong malayo?
At paano na kaya
ang aking mga kaibigan?
‘Di kaya sila maligaw
patungo sa bagong tirahan?
6. May hardin din kaya
sa aming lilipatan?
Meron din bang
nakakaaliw na palaruan?
Marami rin kayang lugar
na puwedeng pasyalan?
Maibibigay ba nito
lahat ng aming kailangan?
7. Sinulyapan ko
ang aming bahay,
nilibot ang bawat bahagi.
Dito ako isinilang,
nagkaisip,
natuto,
lumaki.
Dito ko nadama ang saya
at pagmamahalan.
Dito ko naranasan
ang damayan
at pagbibigayan.
8. Ilang bagyo na rin
ang kanyang pinagdaanan.
Pero ang lahat ng ito
ay kanyang nalampasan.
Siya ang aming sandigan,
takbuhan, kanlungan.
Ah, paano ko ba siya
magagawang iwanan
at kalimutan?
9. Kinagabihan
ay paikut-ikot ako
sa aking kama.
‘Di ako makatulog,
para akong balisa.
Magulo ang aking isip,
damdamin ay halu-halo.
Natatakot,
kinakabahan,
nalulungkot,
nalilito.
11. Pero, teka!
Ano ba itong nakikita ko?
Ang aming bahay
ay tila nag-anyong-tao!
12. Kitang-kita ko ang mga patak
ng luhang nag-uunahan.
Damang-dama ko ang kanyang
lubos na kalungkutan.
Niyakap ko siya
at hinaplos nang marahan.
Bulong ko sa kanya,
“Tahan na, Tahanan.”
13. Alam ko na
kung ano ang dapat gawin.
Inaya ko siyang sumama sa akin.
Sa malayong lugar kami pupunta.
Kung saan hindi kami
masusundan at makikita.
14. Kaya’t dala-dala ang ilang gamit
ay aming sinimulan
Ang paglalakbay kahit di-tiyak
ang patutunguhan.
Pero ‘di pa man kami
masyadong nakakalayo,
May pangyayaring gumulat
sa aming pareho.
15. Malakas na hangin
at malalaking patak ng ulan
Ang biglang sumalubong
sa aming daanan.
Nakakatakot
ang tubig na rumaragasa.
Kami ay inanod,
pati na ang aming pag-asa.
16. Napapikit na lamang ako
sa sobrang pangamba.
Hinigpitan ko ang paghawak
sa tahanang sinisinta.
Pakiramdam ko
ay mabilis na umikot
ang buong mundo.
Pero pagbukas ng aking mata,
nasa kama pa rin pala ako!
17. ‘Di ko na napigilan
ang aking mga luha sa pagtulo.
Nilapitan naman ako ni Nanay
at masuyong niyakap ako.
Ang sabi ni Nanay,
“Ssshh. Tahan na, aking Bunso.
Normal lang naman
na matakot ka sa pagbabago.
“Pero huwag kang mag-alala
dahil pangako sa iyo,
Doon ay magiging
mas masaya tayo.
Tandaan mo na lagi kong
hangad ang pinakamaganda,
Para sa ikabubuti
ng ating pamilya.”
18. “Hindi mo naman kailangang
iwanan o kalimutan,
Ang masasayang alaala
nitong ating tahanan.
Sa halip ay ipunin
at baunin mo lahat ito,
Bilang mahalagang bahagi
ng buhay mo.
“Anak, lagi mo
rin sanang tatandaan,
Ang tunay na
kahulugan ng tahanan.
Hindi ito isang lugar
o pisikal na konsepto;
Ito ay nasa kaibuturan
ng ating mga puso.”
19. Napangiti ako
sa mga salita ni Nanay.
Mga gintong aral ito
para sa ating buhay.
Ang tahanan ay dala-dala natin
saan man tayo mapunta;
Basta’t tunay
ang ating pagmamahal
sa isa’t isa!
