 A Shawl for Anita
Lolita Andrada

My mother brought us up single-handedly. It was a Herculean task

for a woman so frail - dealing with three adolescent children. But she
managed. She never finished high school, but her deft hands had skillfully
eked out a living for the four of us. She was good at knitting. Her job tided
us over until the eldest got a diploma of teaching. Then she put up a sari-
sari store to send the other children to college. Mother wanted us all to
start a college degree and she had sacrificed much to see us through.

Mother had a soft heart - especially for Anita. Anita was the
youngest, and I, being the middle child, had always envied her. She was
sickly and Mother willingly indulged her. My sister's whimpers never irked
her. She was ever so gentle with her when I was impatient and jealous. I
never understood my mother.

My mother who had always been a frail woman was much thinner
now. Anita who was married by now had never stopped being pampered.
Her lack of concern for our mother's failing health was getting on my
nerves. I felt like shouting at her, calling her names when I heard her ask
Mother to knit a shawl for her. Mother could hardly refuse, but I knew that
the task was just too much for her. Her fingers had lost their flexibility;
rheumatic pain told on her knuckles that felt a million pins pricking. My
heart went out to her every time I saw her painfully the knitting needles into
the yarn.

The rest of us did not want to see Mother lift a finger. She was too
old to work, and we wanted to save her the burden of doing even the
lightest household chores. Mother said she felt useless being cooped up in
the house all day, doing nothing. That was before Anita sweet talked her
into knitting her shawl. I was beginning to hate Anita for being so callous.

Knitting the shawl might have been an agony for Mother, but she
never showed any pain. At the end of the day, she would look at her
handiwork, a smile on her lips as she held it against her. Knitting proved to
be a slow process, but Mother didn't mind, I did and when Anita showed up
one day to visit Mother I scolded her for being so thoughtless.

Anita touched my arm and in a gentle voice said, "I did it for Mother.
That shawl is giving her reason to live. She was wasting away, didn't you
notice? She felt so useless because she had nothing to do, no matter how
small. Mother is one person who prefers to live her life working. If she
stops working, she will stop living."

I nodded my head. Perhaps Anita was right I was beginning to

understand my mother

C. Analysis/Discussion
Discuss to the class about the verbs and its examples.

A verb is a word that expresses an action or state of being.

Action verbs and state of being are also known as linking verbs.
Because action verbs and linking are strong enough to be used in
sentenes by themselves, they are called main verbs.

Verbs on the linking verbs list can also function as action

I love cheese. verb.

Ex:
I turned the page.
1. She felt the earthquake. (felt = action verb)
I am a teacher. 2. She felt surprised (felt = linking verb)
I turned green.
