diagrams and stories.

of paper.

Who gave me a bike?

Carlo is a good boy. His mother is
Nanay Marita. Carlo really wants to have a
bicycle. Tomorrow is his birthday.
Her mother has no money to buy a bike.
Nanay Marita worked all day to earn the
money to buy a bike.
One night, Carlo saw a
wishing star and wished for a
bike. Next morning, he has a nice
bike.
