My Best Friend, Baxter

(Arthur S. Maxwell) Dogs are supposed to be very loyal pets. Thats why a dog is considered to be a mans best friend. My dogs name is Baxter. He is a big and hairy collie with pointed ears and sharp intelligent eyes. One afternoon, Mommy sent my little brother Randy and me to the grocery. As usual, we brought Baxter along. Baxter goes with us almost everywhere. Since pets werent allowed inside the store, I motioned to Randy and Baxter to wait outside. Just stay here and watch Baxter, I

told my kid brother. Then, turning to Baxter, I smiled and said, And you stay here and watch Randy. I wont be long. But I was wrong. There were so many people inside the small grocery, and it took me some time to buy all the things on Mommys shopping list. As I stood in the line at the check-out counter, I began to worry about Randy. I couldnt see him at the grocery door and I wondered where he had gone. Kid brothers could be very impatient. I just hoped he had the good sense not to go with any stranger. What I didnt know then was that Randy had indeed grown tired of waiting and had run off to the toy shop across the street. Baxter, torn between the desire to follow him and his duty to remain where I had told him to, faithfully remained outside the grocery store. When I finally came out of the store, Baxter immediately came up to greet me, wagging his tail excitedly. Good dog! I said, patting his head. But wheres Randy? As if he understood what I had said, Baxter turned his head toward the toy shop across the street. Sure enough, there was Randy, eyes glued on the toys in the window display. Hey, Randy! I called, not too pleased at what he had done. Randy quickly turned around. His face was red when he saw me! His conscience must have pricked him. Mommy had always warned him not to cross the street by himself. Whats more, he had disobeyed me, his big brother. Now, a little scared and anxious to get back quickly, he dashed out into the street with hardly a thought for the traffic. At that very moment, a huge truck was coming toward him, so near that there wasnt a chance for the driver to stop in time! Randy!!! I screamed, and all the other people who saw what was happening were screaming with me. But something happened nobody at that scene could ever forget. 2. Comprehension Check Up 1. 2. 3. 4. Who were the characters of the story? Who stayed outside the grocery? Why do you think animals are not allowed inside a store? If you were Randy, would you obey your brothers instruction?

3. Elicitation Say: The story you have just heard does not tell what exactly happened to Randy. With the help of the graphic organizer, let us predict possible outcomes after that incident.

Baxter ran hurriedly towards Randy and pulled the latter out of the street

Baxter, the dog, sacrificed his life choosing himself to be hit by the truck instead of Randy.

But something happened nobody at that scene could forget.

Randy surprisingly got himself out of the trucks direction

The driver was able to stop the truck in time before hitting Randy.

4. Analysis What guided you in making predictions on possible events that could happen next for the given situation? The role or the traits of the characters in the story guided us in making our prediction. For example, the trait of Baxter who had been a good pet and this trait made us think that he could save Randy. We can also consider the flow or the relationship of events that came one after the other. 5. Generalization To predict an outcome, analyze the series of events given. The traits of characters in the story and the relationship of events can be used as guide. C. Post Activity 1. Application Activity 1 Listen as the teacher reads the situations. Then illustrate the event that could happen next. 1. Tricia was an honest girl. While she was having lunch at the school canteen, she found a wristwatch under the table. She picked it up. What could happen next event?

2. Illegal loggers continuously cut trees in the forest. Kaingeros burned down trees, sometimes resulting in forest fire. If this continued, what would happen to our forests?

3. Bernadette is a very studious child. She loves schoolwork and does her assignments and projects promptly. She comes to school regularly. As a matter of fact, she is a candidate for honors. What do you think will happen when the school year ends?

4. Martin was born to a rich family. He was given everything he wished for. Sadly, his parents were always out of the house on business. If this continued, what do you think would happen to Martin?

2. Values Integration Why should children obey their parents? Children should obey their parents so that they are always safe in whatever they do and wherever they are.

IV. Evaluation
Listen as the teacher reads each situation. In your paper, copy only the numbers of sentences that possibly tell what could happen next in the situation you have heard. For the teacher: In an aquarium, there was enough number of fish. One day, the pet owner added more fish; the number of plants remained the same. Which of the following could happen next? 1. 2. 3. 4. The water would become dirty. The water could become less. Some fish would die. The fish could not move freely in the aquarium.

5. The aquarium would be then crowded.
