C. Presentation
Now our topic for today is
Fable. Fable is a narrative form
that features animals that

behave and speak like human

beings.

D. Discussion
I have here a fable entitled
“The monkey and the turtle” I
want everyone to read it
silently and after reading I’ll
ask several questions to the
class so make sure you read
and comprehend the story.

THE MONKEY AND THE

TURTLE
A monkey and a turtle found a banana
tree on a river. They fished it out and
because
each wanted the tree for himself, they
cut it in half.
Now the monkey, being the stronger
one, took the part with leaves despite
the turtle’s
protests, and carefully planted it in his
backyard. The turtle did the same for
his part.
But because the part the monkey got
had no roots, it died, while the turtle’s
lived and
sprouted leaves.
One day, the monkey visited the turtle
and they talked about their banana
plants.
“Alas! My banana tree is dead!”
wailed the monkey tearfully. “And
yours?”
“Alive, and bearing fruit! But because
I can’t climb up...”
“Don’t worry!” interrupted the
monkey. “I’ll climb up for you.”
The turtle became very happy and
accompanied the monkey to the place
where the
banana tree was. The monkey climbed
the tree at once and started eating,

filling both
cheeks.
“Give me some, too,” begged the
turtle.
“Krrr! Not even the peels!” answered
the monkey.

So, to get even with the monkey, the

turtle nailed thorns and susông-paitan
(a kind of
snail with a small and pointed shell as
its house) on the trunk of the banana
tree, and
went to hide under a coconut shell.
“Ow! Ow!” said the monkey as he
came down from the tree, and with
much pain,
went to sit on the coconut shell to tend
his wounds.
But while he was pulling out the
thorns and snails, his restless tail went
inside a hole
in the coconut shell. The turtle, who
saw a good opportunity, bit it. The
monkey
jumped and saw stars from the pain.
“So it’s you!” exclaimed the monkey
coarsely as he lifted the coconut shell.
“Now I
will make you pay for everything you
did!”
You shall die!
But how?
Ah!
Do you want me to crush you in this
mortar or throw you into the river?”
“Crush me in the mortar but please
don’t throw me in the river: I don’t Yes ma’am
want to
drown!”
“Aha! So, you’re afraid of drowning? I (Students start grouping)
guess I’ll have to drown you then!”
And into the river he threw the turtle

who swam away happily.

As the saying goes:
The monkey may be smart yet he can (Shake his head)
still be fooled.
Ma’am we need one more.
Are you done reading class?

Now I want all of you to form a group

of 3 with five members each. After
grouping yourselves pick a number

needs more groupmate?

group one are giving their answers the
rest of the group can either raise the
white flag if they agree to their answer
and raise a red flag if they want to
challenge the answer of group one. Do
