Activity 15. Philippine Literature is a reflection of how imaginative Filipinos are. Below is a legend that was handed down by our forefathers. How Butterflies Came To Be There once lived an old woman who tended a fine flower garden by the shore of a lake. The fisherfolk who lived in a nearby village loved her dearly, and would often visit her to exchange their fish for lovely flowers. They somehow knew there was something magical about her, for her house seemed mysteriously bright at night (no, she didn't have any electricity), and some even saw a few dwarfs assisting what appeared to be a beautiful young woman... but only at night, never during the day. One time, a young couple visited the village. They were proud and hated anything ugly. They chanced upon the old woman's flower garden at the edge of the lake, and entered it to gather some bouquets. The old woman asked them to leave, but instead of obeying, the young man and woman made fun of her because they found her ugly. To punish them, the old woman touched them with a cane and said that since they like only beautiful things, they will be turned into the most beautiful insects. So the next time you see two lovely butterflies hovering near some flowers, you'll remember that haughty young couple.

Viloria, Manuel. How Butterflies Came To Be. Accessed [January 17,2013]. Available from http://folktales.webmanila.com/folktales/animals/?butterflies

After the students read the selection, ask them to identify some of the elements of the story (setting, characters and conflict), the moral and the part of the story where Philippine culture was reflected. Activity 16. Identifying Adjectives Let the students locate the different adjectives in the story. Then, answer the questions that follow. a. What does each describing word modify?

But I could easily blow it off his back if I wanted to. I dont think you could, said the Sun. But let us see who of us can take off the coat. The Northwind began to blow hard. People had to chase after their hats. Leaves were blown helplessly from the trees. The Northwind blew so mightily, but it was no use. The man just pulled his coat more tightly about him. My turn now, cried the Sun and he gave out his heat gently at first. Insects hummed happily and flowers bloomed beautifully. The birds began to sing cheerfully. Then, the Sun shone more strongly. Soon, the man began to feel very hot. How hot it is! he exclaimed, and he took off his coat. Questions: a. How can you describe the characters in the story? b. Upon knowing the definition of an adverb, locate the adverbs in the story.

Oh, why dont you just pay heed. Miss Adjective was furious. She was just plain raving mad. You are a horrible, crazy, bossy man. Why do you have to be so bad? Mr. Adverb didnt understand.

Work more carefully, cautiously, and correctly. Everything seemed so unplanned. Arrive promptly, punctually, frequently, or, You might have to be canned. Miss Adjective was agitated, and wanted to be free. To be bossed around was unacceptable, so she issued a stern decree. Stop bothering me at work Mr. Adverb or I certainly will flee. Mr. Adverb didnt believe her threat. He thought she was going mental. She needs to think more clearly, and stop being so descriptively judgemental. Miss Adjective became anxious, annoyed, and angry at this awful and wicked man. It was way past the time to execute her daring plan. Quickly, decisively, and bravely
