    TUKO, THE TENOR WANNA BE

    Story by: Nemah N. Hermosa

    Prepared by:

    DEBBIE LABSAN ARENAS


    Teacher III / Grade 3 adviser
    Macalong Elementary School
    Tuko once went to the opera where he heard
    the great Tabibili sing. Ever since, Tuko wanted to
    be a singing star. He believed he could be a great
    tenor.
    He went to music school and had voice
    lessons. And how Tuko practiced! He sang upon
    waking up.* He sang before and after meals.* He
    sang before going to bed.* He sang in the
    school.* He sang in the bus.* He sang in the
    church.* And of course he sang in the bath.*
    Everybody else knew Tuko could not sing
    beyond two notes. They told him so.
    But Tuko was bent on a singin career. He would not
    listen to his friends. He would not listen to his bus driver.
    He would not listen to the minister. He would not listen to
    his teacher. He would not listen to his mother who knew
    best. He would not listen even to Tiki, his best
    friend.Tuko told her “ You just don’t want me to be a star,
    that’s why”
    Finally, it was time for
    Tuko’s recital? First, he sang
    a balitaw which is a sad
    song.

    Everyone giggled, except his


    mother. Then Tuko sang a
    kundiman which is a love song.
    When he reached the high notes, he
    closed his eyes.
    When he opened them, the
    audience was gone! Except Tiki. She
    looked at Tuko with sad eyes. Then she
    crept away.

    Tuko did not sing for a long, long


    time after that. He thought and
    thought “I must have my music,” he
    said, “but I must also keep my
    friends.”
    Tuko still went to music schol. But not
    to become a tenor. He has become a star all
    right as conductor of the Bubuli Symphony
    orchestra! o

    His mother, Tiki, and all his friends


    were very proud of him
    THE END
