This heartwarming Filipino folktale, set in the idyllic Sitio Paligawan of Cavite, tells the story of Mang Jose, a kind and hardworking farmer, and his envious neighbor, Mang Antonio. Despite Mang Antonio's act of sabotage—setting fire to Mang Jose's crops—Mang Jose's unwavering compassion shines through when he selflessly helps Mang Antonio's ailing wife. This act of kindness triggers a profound transformation in Mang Antonio, leading him to confess his wrongdoing and embrace a life of hard work and goodness. The story highlights the power of forgiveness and the transformative potential of selfless acts, ultimately showcasing the enduring strength of community and the triumph of good over envy. It's a tale that celebrates the Filipino values of pakikipagkapwa-tao (regard for others) and pagpapatawad (forgiveness).

I am Luca. I am four years old, and I just started Kindy. It is exciting, but also a little bit scary. There are so many new things—new teachers, new friends, and a big new playground! Every morning, my grown-up walks me to the Kindy room. Some days, I feel happy. Other days, I feel nervous and want to stay longer. When I feel worried, my tummy feels funny, and I want to cry. Mrs. Kubicek showed me the Zones of Regulation chart. She told me feeling worried is the blue zone, and that it is okay. To feel better, I can take deep breaths, press my hug button, or give a big hug before saying, “See you later!” When I miss my family, I remember that they love me always, and I will see them again soon when I get home. This helps me feel safe. When I get to the Kindy room, I put my bag, crunch and sip, and water bottle in their places. This helps me get ready for the day. Before Kindy starts, I can play with the trucks and puzzles. Sometimes, I do this with Mum or Dad before they say goodbye. That helps me feel braver. Recess and Lunch At recess, all the children go outside to eat and play. I feel nervous and stay near the wall. Mrs. Kubicek notices and says, “Luca, would you like to sit with Milani and Bodhi?” I nod. Milani and Bodhi smile and say, “Come sit with us!” That makes me feel good inside. I move into the green zone—calm and happy! Sometimes, I want to stay with Mrs. Kubicek at recess and lunch. But when she leaves, I feel sad. She reminds me that it is important to play with my friends. I take a deep breath, press my hug button, and find Milani and Bodhi. Once I start playing, I feel much better! At the end of the day, I pack my bag and sit on the mat. When I see my grown-up waiting, I run to give them a big hug. “How was your day?” they ask.I smile and say, “I played with Milani and Bodhi.” Each day, I feel a little braver. If I feel nervous, I can take deep breaths, press my hug button, or ask for help. Kindy is full of adventures, and I am ready for them all!
