A Cake for Kate


Gretel Laura M. Cadiong

Kate was turning ten. But she was not happy. Birthdays were ordinary days for her. She
never had a birthday party. She never had a cake on her birthday. But she wished she could have
one.
After school, she would stand near the gate to sell rice cakes that her mother made.
One late afternoon, Kate saw a big box on one of the benches. She picked it up and
opened it. There were glasses, spoons, and forks. There were also boxes of wrist watches, a bag
of marbles, chocolates, combs, and some dresses. She closed the big box. She brought it to the
principal’s office.
The next day, Mr. Basa, the school principal and a lady came to Kate’s class. The lady was
Mrs. Salas, the owner of the box. Mr. Basa looked for Kate and he told Mrs. Salas how Kate found
the big box. Mrs. Salas thanked Kate.
“I just arrived from Cebu and the things inside the box are my pasalubong for my family,”
she said. “I was in your school because I had to fetch my nephew. Then, I forgot that box,” she
added.
Sunday came. It was Kate’s birthday. After attending mass, Kate and her mother went
home. They were surprised to see Mrs. Salas waiting for them.
“Happy birthday, Kate,” Mrs. Salas said. “I brought you a gift. I asked your teacher about
you and I am happy to know that you are not only a helpful daughter but an honest girl, too.”
She gave Kate a red box tied with a ribbon. Kate opened the box. What a surprise! It was a cake
for her birthday!

Big Feet – Bigger Heart


(Adapted from Chicken Soup for the Soul)
by Jack Canfield and Mark Hansen

It was a very hot day. Everybody was looking for some kind of relief, so an ice cream store
was a natural place to stop. A little girl, holding her money tightly, entered the store. But before
she could buy the ice cream, the store clerk told her to go outside and read the sign on the door.
“Stay out until you put on some shoes,” he said. The little girl went out slowly, and a big man
followed her out of the store. He watched as the little girl stood in front of the store and read the
sign: “No Bare Feet.” Tears started rolling down her cheeks as she walked away from the store.
Just then the big man called her. He was sitting on a bench while he took off his size-12 shoes
and put them in front of the girl. “Here,” he said, “You won’t be able to walk in these but if you
can slide along, you can get your ice cream.” Then he lifted the girl up and set her feet into the
shoes. “Take your time,” he said. “I get tired of moving them around and it will feel good to just
sit here and eat my ice cream.” The girl’s eyes lit up. She immediately went to the counter and
ordered her ice cream. He was a big man, all right. Big belly, big shoes, but most of all, he had a
big heart.
Talk about It

1. Why did the little girl want an ice cream?


2. Where did she go to buy the ice cream?

head. She hummed a happy tune while walking. As she went along, she began thinking of what
she would do with the money she would get for the milk. “I’ll buy some chicken from Mang
Tomas,” said she, “and they will lay eggs each morning, then I will sell the eggs to the mayor’s
wife. With the money that I will get from the sale of the eggs, I’m sure I can buy myself a cute
dress and a hat; and when I go to the market I would be a muse. Won’t all the young men come
up and speak to me! Ana will be that jealous, but I don’t care. I shall just look at her and toss my
head like this.” As she spoke, she tossed her head back, the pail fell down, and all the milk was

The Bundle of Sticks


(Aesop)

An old man who was about to die called his sons to give them some parting advice. He
ordered his servants to bring in a bundle of sticks, and he told his eldest son, “Break it.” The son
strained and strained, but with all his efforts, he was unable to break the bundle. The other sons
also tried, but no one of them was successful. “Untie the sticks,” said the father, “and each of
you take a stick.”
When they had done so, he called out to them: “Now, break,” and each stick was easily
broken. “Do you see what I mean?” asked their father.
