A Story of A Mouse


This is a story I made from my high school days.

I am a little mouse. I live at a hole in a wall of my master’s house. In the morning I always like to sleep. In the evening, I wake up to find some food at my master’s trash. If I’m lucky, I could find some delicious leftovers that had been there after my master’s dinner. But if my master’s not around, I always go up hungry.

One morning, I didn’t feel sleepy. So, I went outside my hole to look for a snack. I saw a delicious apple pie from the kitchen window. There I saw the nice view from outside my master’s house. There are plants, people, and things that brought up my curiosity. I thought I really want to go out so I can know what the outdoors look like. So, I opened the window and I went outside.

Wow! What a nice view! I cannot imagine that this is the outside world! There were plants, people, and curious things. But, a wheeled thing is approaching me. I was very frightened, so I ran as fast as I can just to avoid that thing with wheels.

Whew! That was so close! Well I was just walking down the alley. There I saw a cat named Larry. I saw his name on his collar. As soon as I passed through his master’s house, he turned his head on me. He said, “What is this something I see? Ah! It’s a mouse! FOOD!” He ran towards me. He is about to eat me! So, I ran as fast as I could just to hide from him. But his long legs caught my tail. Oh no! I am about to be eaten! I don’t really know what to do.

Then, someone arrived. It was a girl. She called, “Larry! Larry! Don’t hurt that mouse!” Larry nodded. She approached me while I was on the ground with my tail broken. She asked me, “ Are you hurt?” I shook my head saying, “No.” She said this to me, “ I see you are from Mr. Sanders. (He is my master.) If you want to experience the outdoors, always be careful so you will not be hurt.” I smiled and walked away.

Now that is the end of my adventure on the outdoors.

LOOK AT THIS!: Venta5, A Great TV Shopping Hit

Look, ABC5's got something new! It's the newest - the first and the only locally-produced interactive TV shopping show, Venta5 (pronounced /vehn-tah-sing-koh/ ) It features products that cannot be found anywhere else, at the fraction of the cost. One of the best sellers of Venta5 is the Iron Mate Economizer , a Filipino invention. This cuts electric consumption produced by flat irons by over 50%. Isn't that amazing? Just put your flat iron on it and it automatically shuts off the power supply, but it preserves the heat of the iron. Another one is the Mini Spin Twin Tub Washing Machine. It is a twin tub washing machine, but it is half the size (and the price!) of regular washing machines. Great for condominiums, apartments and dormitories. Next is another Pinoy invention, the QB Stove . A very elegant but economical stove that uses charcoal as its fuel. Isn't that good? Want more of the specs of the products shown? Wanna see more amazing products? Watch Venta5, Monday-Sa

ASL Q&A: Pagsangkap

Hello readers! Another ASL Q&A question from a reader named Lencius Medina Jr. : I am a one-year old christian but biologically, i am 47 year old. i am an engineer by profession but am currently busy in my walk with Christ. Would you by chance be able to share with me the open-source pdf format of Pastor Noel Akuino Jr Pagsangkap? Is it possible to have it both in English and Cebuano version? Thank you and God bless you. Thank you, Mr. Medina for asking me this question: The Cebuano version of Pagsangkap (officially published as a book) is not yet available for release since I have to get permission from Pastor Alkuino for me to produce the PDF version. I could only give you the English version since it is not yet published officially. Attached to my e-mail reply to you is a copy of "Pagsangkap" ("Equipping the Saints" is its official English title when it will be released as a book) in PDF format. I hope that he would share these wonderful lessons with

Freedom From Lies With Hatred: Contamination From Deceitful Content Against The Church And How I Dealt It With The Truth

Image
As an advocate of Media and Information Literacy (MIL), I am very much knowledgeable of the effects of having to deal with fake news, disinformation, and other forms of manipulation of media and information in our society. I am thankful that I have been connected with an organization that advocates MIL and helps educators deliver the best practices for dealing with the media and information ecosystem in the country. Maria Ressa (Source: PBS.org) In the many years of being a Christian, I was tricked on social media to believe lies about the church, and there I would like to share what just came into my mind about lies laced with anger and hatred. I remembered the documentary "A Thousand Cuts" in 2020 featuring Rappler CEO and Nobel Prize laureate Maria Ressa about what she had discovered about the problems with the information ecosystem in the Philippines and why it has become a primary target of disinformation syndicates. Ms. Ressa said in the documentary, to wit: " Face
