Julianne
by Liezel Pichay
(Philippines)

"Hello, Julianne?" It's a familiar voice on my phone.

"It's Alexander. I hope you still remember me." How wouldn't I?

Without him, I would never have been good in academics nor would I be successful in my career
now. He was my teacher in sixth grade.

I was one of the lazy kids in class until this young teacher entered my class and caught my
heart. I studied hard to gain his recognition. I requested him to be my tutor in high school. In
college, he was my inspiration. He made me so happy until he told me he was getting married. I
cried. I cried in front of him.

"I love you." I confessed. He just smiled at me saying:

"It's just a puppy love." And he gave me a warm brotherly hug.

On his wedding day, I was there -- smiling, but wounded inside.

After that, I kept distant from him.

It happened four years ago, but the memories are still clear and the pain still here. How would I
ever forget him?

"Oh, it's you!" I answer sluggishly. "How are you, sir?"

"I'm more than fine, actually; just had my first baby -- a pretty daughter. Imagine? After four
years!"
"That's great, sir. Congratulations!" I mean it.

"Surely she got a good name?"

"Thank you. Actually, I have registered it this morning. You know, her name is really special. I
took it after this girl whom occupied a big part of my heart. I really missed this girl, you know? I
hope my daughter will be a sweet kid like her."

I'm not really paying attention to what he's saying. I just want to end this conversation. So I
ask:

"What is this sweet kid's name, sir?"

He replies: "Julianne."

The Boy who cried Wolf

by Aesop

A shepherd-boy, who watched a flock of sheep near a village, brought out the villagers
three or four times by crying out, “Wolf! Wolf!” and when his neighbors came to help him,
laughed at them for their pains.
 The Wolf, however, did truly come at last. The Shepherd-boy, now really alarmed,
shouted in an agony of terror: “Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf is killing the sheep”; but
no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any assistance. The Wolf, having no cause of
fear, at his leisure lacerated or destroyed the whole flock.

Moral of the Story: There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.

III. Direction: Construct a short skit using the given story. Write your answer on the
space provided. (10 points)

THE NECKLACE
by Guy de Maupassant

Mathilde Loisel borrows a necklace from her friend Madame Forestier. Mathilde’s husband
has secured an invitation to a party hosted by his boss, the Minister of Public Instruction. When
Mathilde worries that she doesn’t have anything to wear, her husband agrees to buy her a new
dress.

Thanks to her new party dress and Madame Forestier’s diamond necklace, Mathilde has a
wonderful time at the party. All the men think she’s the prettiest woman at the party, and she
dances until four in the morning.

Upon returning home, Mathilde notices that the diamond necklace is gone. Her husband
retraces their steps to no avail. Embarrassed, the couple spend their entire inheritance and take
out loans to pay for a replacement necklace.
 Mathilde and her husband spend the next ten years scrimping and saving to pay off their
debt. The menial housework ages Mathilde prematurely to the point where Madame Forestier
doesn’t even recognized her. Finally, Mathilde tells her friend about replacing the necklace, only
to learn that it was fake.

YOUR LIFE
by Lang Leav

You’ve wandered off too far,

you’ve forgotten who you are;
you’ve let down the one’s you love,
you’ve given up too much.

You once made a deal with time,

now it’s slipping by too fast-
you can’t borrow from the future,
to make up for the past.
You forsake all that you hold dear,
for a dream that is not your own;
you would rather live a lie-
than live your life alone
