My favorite stories from second unit of the
Filipino Popular Tales unit by Dean Fansler are:
Why Mosquitoes Hum and Try to get into the Holes of our Ears. This was really funny. I finally found the reason for the existence of mosquitoes. I have always wondered why they ever existed :) This story does a good job with its characters and details to tell the readers why mosquitoes hum. It was really interesting to read as it the author made it sound like it was actually true. There were three main charcters and other sub characters.
The Greedy Crow. This was one of my favorite because of the lesson it provided. A crow is the main character with two other birds being the other characters. The crow learned the lesson the hard way:
greed is not a good thing, and be contented with what you have. I feel this is a great lesson, and it needs to be repeated and repeated in today's society. Politicians currently needs to take this lesson very seriously.
The Hawk and the Coling. I am really liking this unit as this story is really good also. Most of the stories provide reasons for natural things. This story is no different. A hawk and a sarcops calvus bird are the main character. The story showed why the top of sarcops calvus birds are bald.
Why the Cow’s Skin is Loose on the Neck. This was another great story, This provided a reason for why cow's skin is loose on the neck. A cow and a carabao are the main characters. The story is simple and short, but it got its message across.
