THE BOASTFUL SHRIMP
Once there was a shrimp who thought he was the
most handsome shrimp in the world. In fact, he
believed that he was more handsome than any
other creatures on earth.
“Just look at my sword,” he proudly told the other
young shrimps, pointing to the sharp pointed
protrusion at the end of his nose. Of course, as far
as shrimps were concerned, the end of the nose
was the most natural place for the sword to be.
“And look at my thick, smooth shield,” Like other shrimps
he carried his shield,” he would continue. “Nothing can
pierce the shield,” like other shrimps he carried his shield
on his head. All he needed to do to show off his head was
to hold his head high.
“You are indeed a handsome shrimp,” said an old
experienced shrimp. “But you are just reaching adulthood
and have had no experience of the world. Do not display
yourself too much or else one of those humans might grab
you,” said the old shrimp pointing with one of his many legs
to a young man swimming nearby.
“Grab me? Who? That soft- skinned two – legged
creature? “scoffed the young shrimp. “He does not
even have a proper shell. He has those funny little bits
of shell on the
ends of his fingers and toes, which do not protect him
at all, as far as I can tell. All I need to do is stab him
with my sharp sword, and that will be end of him.
Someday, he and other two- legged humans will look
at me and admire me!” said the young shrimp.
“Well if you won’t listen to my advice,” said the old
shrimp, “you will have to learn your lessons the hard
way.”
The young shrimp soon forget about the old shrimp’s
advice. He continued his habit of looking for groups of
other young shrimps his age and showing off before
them. He would engage in shrimp gymnastics, bending
his body this way and that, to let them see how strong
his muscles inside his beautifully glistening white shell,
which hardly had any dark dots or lines on them,
unlike the other shrimps around him.
One day, a fishing boat passed by, with
fisherman on board looking for a good catch.
The boastful shrimp saw his chance to display
his athletic form before them. He swam to
the surface of the water. The fisherman saw
him. They cast their net and in a few minutes,
the boastful young shrimp was caught in the
net, along with other shrimps and fish.
That day, at lunch time, the boastful shrimp
was seen on the end of a barbeque stick, his
shell now in beautiful colors of pink, red and
brown with some scorched spots from the
coals over which he was roasted.
“What a fine, fat shrimp!” explained the
persons around the dining table.
“It’s the best shrimp I’ve ever tasted!”
said the person who picked up the
barbeque stick and cut up the shrimp,
after putting a little portion in his mouth.
The boastful, young shrimp got his wish
at last to be admired by humans.
Analysis and discussion
1. Describe the Shrimp based on his outer and inner
appearance.
2. Why did the old shrimp advised the boastful
shrimp not to display the latter’s shell too much?
3. Did the boastful shrimp listen to his advice?
Why?
4. What happened to him?
5. What lesson did you learn from the selection?
-Explain answers by giving one’s opinion and
supporting idea
Group Work
Each group will have the review of the selection
listened to.
A graphic organizer is used in presenting and
developing the skill. The teacher asks each group
on action taken by the boastful shrimp and later
asks for inferences on alternative actions.
-What did we do to be able to give alternative
actions to the action taken by the character in the
story they read.

The Story of The Tiny Frog
There once was a bunch of tiny frogs who got
together to arrange a competition to reach to the top
of the highest tower in town.
As the date for the competition was announced, the
news spread everywhere and crowd in large numbers
gathered around the tower to see this interesting
competition and cheer on the contestants. The crowd
did not really believe any of these little frogs were
going to make it to the top of the tower. Yet they
were curious…
The competition began, the frogs quickly started to
ascend and the crowd cheered!
As a few moments passed, someone from the crowd
shouted, "Not a chance that they will succeed! The
tower is too high!"
Another spectator said, "Yes, they will never make it
to the top. It's way too difficult!"
As the competition continued, some of the tiny frogs
began collapsing.
One by one… tired… exhausted… But the race
continued… as those who still had the fight left,
passionately continued to climb higher and
higher…
In the excitement and anxiety the crowd continued
to yell, "It is too difficult. No one will make it!"
More tiny frogs got tired and gave up. They all
continued to give up one by one, until there was
only ONE little frog left in the competition who
continued to climb higher and higher and higher…
This one wouldn’t give up!
This one tiny frog who, after a big effort was the only
one who reached the top! This little soul was the
winner! He made it! He got the glory!
Naturally, everyone wanted to know how this one tiny
frog managed to pull it off when every other
contestant gave up. Everybody wanted to know how
this tiny frog had found the strength to reach this goal
that everyone else thought it was impossible. So, they
asked questions.
It turned out that the winner was deaf.
