Wake Up
Every Saturday, Manuel goes to market with his father, Mang Ador.
They always pass by Aling Juaning’s stall to buy meat. They go to
Mang Tinoy’s for fresh vegetables. They also visit Aling Tita’s seafood
section. Whenever Mang Ador buys something, Manuel always tries
to predict what his father will cook for lunch. Today, Mang Ador
bought tamarind, tomatoes, string beans, radish, and shrimp. “I know
what we will have for lunch,” says Manuel happily. Can you guess it,
too?
