Carla’s Best Friend
by: Dolores Sim Garcia and Josefina Reyes
Carla and Guard are best friends. Carla is a kind, happy girl. Guard is Carla’s dog. Carla was seven when she first saw Guard. He was a stray puppy, thin and dirty. He looked sad and hungry. Carla took pity on Guard. She brought him home. From Carla, Mother learned the puppy’s sad story. She took pity on Guard, too.
“Thank you, Mother! I knew you would understand,” Carla hugged her mother.
Mother and Carla made Guard feel welcome. Mother gave Guard a good bath while Carla prepared his food.
Now, Carla is ten. Guard has grown very big. His fur shines because Carla takes good care of him. Guard is one of the finest dogs in the neighborhood.
There are many tricks that Guard can do. He and Carla are often seen playing ball. Carla tosses the ball far and Guard runs and picks it up.
Guard sees Carla off to school. He barks as Carla gets up the school bus. Carla waves her hand, “Goodbye, Guard!”
In the afternoon, Guard knows when Carla is coming home from school. He waits for her. He carries her bag with his mouth while Carla skips beside him.
They are a happy pair and people love to see them together.
It’s a Saturday morning, market day for Mother. Carla and Guard are alone in the house. Mother knows Carla is safe with Guard around.
Carla is trying to reach for the jar of sweets. Guard waits. He knows Carla will surely give him a share. All too soon, Carla falls and lies hurt on the floor.
The neighbor next door is surprised. Guard is there scratching and barking loud. He is facing the open door of Carla’s house.
The neighbor hurries and finds Carla badly hurt. He brings Carla to the clinic nearby. Guard follows sadly.
“What a loyal dog!” Those who see the very unhappy dog exclaimed.
“He cares a lot for Carla,” others say.Carla is now safe. Mother is thankful to the neighbor, most of
all to Guard. Everybody is proud of Guard. Carla wishes to be home so she can be with her best friend.
3. Analysis and Discussion
a. Ask some questions about the story. Who is Carla’s best friend? How did Carla show her concern for Guard? What happened to Carla while her mother was in the market? How does Guard’s action show concern for Carla?
You have a best friend. In what ways does your best friend show his/her concern for you? How do you also show your concern for your best friend?
b. Go back to the previous activity at the start of the lesson. Guide the pupils in finding out if their ideas match with the ideas in the story.
Group Activities:Activity I – Arranging events that happened in the story using pictures.Activity II – Arranging events that happened in the story using events written on strips of cartolina.
Group Presentation: Ask each group to present their work. Evaluate the work of each group.
4. Generalization
How can we recall the events that happen in a story?(Think about what things happened first, next and last.)
C. Post Activity
1. Application
Divide pupils into three groups. Give each group a copy of a short story, then ask them to make an event chart out of the story.
Group I – use of picturesGroups II and III – use of cartolina strips with events written on these Group II should have a different set of events from Group III.
Example:

The Helpful Boy and the Alligator
There was once an alligator that got trapped in a swamp. As alligators are known to be killers, no one wanted to get near them.
One day, a boy who was catching crabs nearby saw the trapped alligator. He pitied the animal but he also remembered what his parents told him about alligators.
Every day, the boy came to watch the alligator from the bank. The more he watched the animal, the more he pitied it.
Then one day, the boy decided to let the alligator go. He cut the rope that held the animal to set it free.
The alligator was very happy. To thank the boy for letting it free, every morning the alligator caught crabs and brought them to the bank. The boy could only thank the alligator for helping him, too.
-Adapted

A Poodle That Went Swimming
It was summer. As the sun was hot and the weather was dry, everyone planned a swim in one of the swimming pools nearby.
Mr. Yoneno and his family had planned a swim, too. Everyone was going and everybody was happy – mother, father, brother and Jim. Mr. Yoneno’s family brought fried chicken, juice, bread, apples, peaches and pears. They also brought plates. They put them all in the big basket.
“Father, can I bring my pet to the swimming pool?” Jim asked.“No. I’m sorry. People in the swimming pool will not like to see a pet
poodle swimming with them,” his father explained.“Can I bring him, though, to stay in the car while we swim?” Jim
requested.“Okay, but please be sure you will not bring him to the pool,” the father
answered.In the pool there were many people. Father, Mother and big brother
went into the pool. Jim, however, disregarding what he promised his father, swam in the small pool with his poodle. He made sure his parents wouldn’t see his poodle swimming.
That evening, Jim’s poodle became very sick.“Did you bring your poodle to the pool, Jim?” his father asked.“No, Father,” Jim answered. He told a lie because he knew he did
something bad. Because he did not know, his father did not give his poodle any medicine.
The next morning, the poor poodle died. Jim realized how important it was to be truthful, but it was too late.
Arrange the sentences to show the order in which they happened in the story. Use numbers 1-5.
