    THE MERMAID

    There was once a girl who loved to watch the


    waves. How she wished she could go to the
    deepest part of the sea!
    One day, the king of the sea appeared. He
    gave her the power to change herself into a
    mermaid by just calling out his name. If she wished
    to be a girl again, she would just say, “Enough”.
    At night, when her parents were asleep, the girl
    would change herself to a mermaid. She found
    much happiness in staying and playing with the
    fish. She was always sad when she had to get
    back to the land again.
    One day, a festival was held and everybody
    came. Because she didn’t want to go, she prayed
    hard that something would happen to prevent her
    from going to the festival. Her prayers were
    answered. Heavy rains came and flooded the
    village. Everyone died except her, for she could
    change herself into a mermaid. But she was sorry
    that her parents had died in the floods, too.

    WHAT ARE MAMMALS?

    Mammals are animals that feed their babies


    with milk from their bodies. They are warm-
    blooded. They have lungs which they use for
    breathing.
    Mammals may be different in many ways.
    They differ in size, shape, and color. They can live
    on land, in the water, and in the air.
    The cat, the dog, the deer, and the whale are
    examples of mammals. Mammals are covered with
    hair or fur or have hair in some parts of their
    bodies. Some animals like the sheep, have their
    bodies entirely covered with hair. Some have less
    hair like the Carabao and the whale. Others have
    silky hair like the cat. Some have stiff hair called
    bristles, like the pig.
    Mammals’ hair or fur has many uses. The
    sheep’s fur gives us wool which is made into
    sweaters and mufflers. Expensive coats and stoles
    are made from mink and angora. Mink is a kind of
    cat; Angora is a member of the goat family. Bear
    skins are made into rugs and carpets.
