Wise man – came to conclusion why it is name “Banana”.
Setting: The setting where the story happened is called or in the town
Of Vigan.

Long ago, before Philippines was invaded by other countries, the only religion Filipinos know is
Paganism. They know no God until it was invaded by the Spaniards and killed everyone who refuses to
give their riches. In the town of Vigan (in Philippines), one rich family planned to hide their beautiful
daughter named Corazon because they heard that the Spaniard captain wanted their child. Corazon was
one of the most beautiful maiden in their town. Every man there wants to have her hand in marriage.

One day, when a group of Spaniard soldiers tried again to gather all the riches and properties and
everything people have in every house, the parents of Corazon panicked knowing their daughter is
missing. Corazon was helping other families to escape from the Spaniard soldiers because the soldiers
where trying to kill them.
When Corazon headed back to her parents, a Spaniard eventually caught her and brought her to their
captain. The captain want Corazon as his bride but Corazon refused and the captain ordered to kill her
and throw her body on the street.
When her parents heard the news that their daughter was slaughtered, they gave Corazon a funeral.
Because there were no coffin in their time, the townspeople buried Corazon's body underground.
The next day, the second ceremony is about to start, when the graveyard where Corazon was buried
was very crowded. When the parents of Corazon arrived, they saw a plant growing from the soil. They
were curious with the plant because they haven't seen such plant. As the days pass, the plant grew and
grew until a fruit came out. The people didn't know exactly if it is a fruit or not because it was very
unusual to them. The parents of Corazon concluded that it is their daughter and called the plant,
Banana.

When the Spaniard heard about unusual happening, they fled the town hurriedly. They were scared to
death because they thought it was a curse or something.
The thing that the invaders don't know is, Banana was formed with pure heart. The townspeople don't
know why the parents of Corazon named it that way. But wise men of the town came to a conclusion
why the plant was named Banana, it's because the letters "ana" in the word Banana means "his/her or
ownership of an individual" and the heart shaped fruit that came out from the plant was Corazon; and
Corazon means "heart". That's why Banana was translated as "Her Heart".

Moral Lesson of the story is being hospitable. Because we as Filipinos are very
hospitable every now and then to our kind. We are friendly and generous to everyone.

SETTING:
Fifer Pig, Fiddler Pig, Practical Pig and the Big Bad Wolf appeared in the 2001
series Disney's House of Mouse in many episodes, and again in Mickey's Magical
Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse.

Once upon a time there were three little pigs and the time came for them to leave home and
seek their fortunes. Before they left, their mother told them " Whatever you do , do it the best that you
can because that's the way to get along in the world.

The first little pig built his house out of straw because it was the easiest thing to do. The second little pig
built his house out of sticks. This was a little bit stronger than a straw house. The third little pig built his
house out of bricks.

One night the big bad wolf, who dearly loved to eat fat little piggies, came along and saw the first little
pig in his house of straw. He said "Let me in, Let me in, little pig or I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your
house in!" "Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin", said the little pig. But of course the wolf did blow
the house in and ate the first little pig.

The wolf then came to the house of sticks. "Let me in ,Let me in little pig or I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll
blow your house in" "Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin", said the little pig. But the wolf blew that
house in too, and ate the second little pig.

The wolf then came to the house of bricks. " Let me in , let me in" cried the wolf "Or I'll huff and I'll puff
till I blow your house in" "Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin" said the pigs. Well, the wolf huffed and
puffed but he could not blow down that brick house.

But the wolf was a sly old wolf and he climbed up on the roof to look for a way into the brick house.
The little pig saw the wolf climb up on the roof and lit a roaring fire in the fireplace and placed on it a
large kettle of water.

When the wolf finally found the hole in the chimney he crawled down and KERSPLASH right into that
kettle of water and that was the end of his troubles with the big bad wolf.

The next day the little pig invited his mother over . She said "You see it is just as I told you. The way to
get along in the world is to do things as well as you can." Fortunately for that little pig, he learned that
lesson. And he just lived happily ever after!

The primary moral lesson learned from "The Three Little Pigs" is that hard work and
dedication pay off. While the first two pigs quickly built homes and had more free time to play,
the third pig labored in the construction of his house of bricks.
TITTLE:Little Red Riding Hood
AUTHOR:Leanne Guenther
CHARACTER:
Little Red Riding Hood (good, kind, skipping), Wolf (bad, scary, gobbles),
Grandma (good), Woodcutter (good, strong, brave). Climax: LLRH arrives – door open
(cautiously, carefully).
SETTING:
Autumn in the woods

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who lived in a village near the forest. Whenever she went out,
the little girl wore a red riding cloak, so everyone in the village called her Little Red Riding Hood.
One morning, Little Red Riding Hood asked her mother if she could go to visit her grandmother as it had
been awhile since they'd seen each other.

"That's a good idea," her mother said. So they packed a nice basket for Little Red Riding Hood to take to
her grandmother.

When the basket was ready, the little girl put on her red cloak and kissed her mother goodbye.
"Remember, go straight to Grandma's house," her mother cautioned. "Don't dawdle along the way and
please don't talk to strangers! The woods are dangerous."

"Don't worry, mommy," said Little Red Riding Hood, "I'll be careful."

But when Little Red Riding Hood noticed some lovely flowers in the woods, she forgot her promise to
her mother. She picked a few, watched the butterflies flit about for awhile, listened to the frogs
croaking and then picked a few more.

Little Red Riding Hood was enjoying the warm summer day so much, that she didn't notice a dark
shadow approaching out of the forest behind her...

Suddenly, the wolf appeared beside her.

"What are you doing out here, little girl?" the wolf asked in a voice as friendly as he could muster.
"I'm on my way to see my Grandma who lives through the forest, near the brook," Little Red Riding
Hood replied.

Then she realized how late she was and quickly excused herself, rushing down the path to her
Grandma's house.

The wolf, in the meantime, took a shortcut...

The wolf, a little out of breath from running, arrived at Grandma's and knocked lightly at the door.
"Oh thank goodness dear! Come in, come in! I was worried sick that something had happened to you in
the forest," said Grandma thinking that the knock was her granddaughter.

The wolf let himself in. Poor Granny did not have time to say another word, before the wolf gobbled her
up!
The wolf let out a satisfied burp, and then poked through Granny's wardrobe to find a nightgown that he
liked. He added a frilly sleeping cap, and for good measure, dabbed some of Granny's perfume behind
his pointy ears.

A few minutes later, Red Riding Hood knocked on the door. The wolf jumped into bed and pulled the
covers over his nose. "Who is it?" he called in a cackly voice.
"It's me, Little Red Riding Hood."

"Oh how lovely! Do come in, my dear," croaked the wolf.

When Little Red Riding Hood entered the little cottage, she could scarcely recognize her Grandmother.
"Grandmother! Your voice sounds so odd. Is something the matter?" she asked.

"Oh, I just have touch of a cold," squeaked the wolf adding a cough at the end to prove the point.
"But Grandmother! What big ears you have," said Little Red Riding Hood as she edged closer to the bed.
"The better to hear you with, my dear," replied the wolf.

"But Grandmother! What big eyes you have," said Little Red Riding Hood.

"The better to see you with, my dear," replied the wolf.

"But Grandmother! What big teeth you have," said Little Red Riding Hood her voice quivering slightly.
"The better to eat you with, my dear," roared the wolf and he leapt out of the bed and began to chase
the little girl.

Almost too late, Little Red Riding Hood realized that the person in the bed was not her Grandmother,
but a hungry wolf.

She ran across the room and through the door, shouting, "Help! Wolf!" as loudly as she could.
A woodsman who was chopping logs nearby heard her cry and ran towards the cottage as fast as he
could.

He grabbed the wolf and made him spit out the poor Grandmother who was a bit frazzled by the whole
experience, but still in one piece."Oh Grandma, I was so scared!" sobbed Little Red Riding Hood, "I'll
never speak to strangers or dawdle in the forest again."

"There, there, child. You've learned an important lesson. Thank goodness you shouted loud enough for
this kind woodsman to hear you!"

The woodsman knocked out the wolf and carried him deep into the forest where he wouldn't bother
people any longer.

Little Red Riding Hood and her Grandmother had a nice lunch and a long chat.

The moral to the story of "Little Red Riding Hood" is that children must obey
their parents and that they must never talk to strangers. Even a very friendly stranger is
capable of having bad intentions.
