sons? How were they duped? Listen and find. Note the important information found
in the story.

How the Wicked Sons Were Duped

by Joseph Jacobs

A very wealthy old man, imagining that he was on the point of death, sent for his
sons and divided his property among them. However, he did not die for several years
afterwards, and miserable years many of them were. Besides the weariness of old age, the
old fellow had to bear with much abuse and cruelty from his sons. Wretch, selfish ingrates!
Previously they vied with one another in trying to please their father, hoping thus to receive
their patrimony, they cared not how soon he left them-nay, the sooner the better, because he
was only a needless trouble and expense. And they let the poor old man know what they felt.

Why do you think the three sons were described as wicked? How did
the sons treat their father? Who would help the poor old man?

One day he met a friend and related to him all his troubles. The friend sympathized
very much with him, and promised to think over the matter, and call in a little while and tell
him what to do. He did so; in a few days he visited the old man and put down four bags full
of stones and gravel before him.

Who helped the poor old man? What did he bring to the old man?
What would they do with the four bags?

“Look here, friend,” said he. “Your sons will get to know of my coming here today,
and will inquire about it. You must pretend that I came to discharge a long-standing debt with
you, and that you are several thousands of rupees richer than you thought you were. Keep
these bags in your own hands, and on no account let your sons get to them as long as you
are alive. You will soon find them change their conduct toward you. Salaam. I will come
again soon to see how you are getting on.”
 What excuse did the friend suggest tojustify his visit that day? What
instructions did the friend give the old man? Which country has
rupees as its monetary unit? Would the sons change the way they
treat their father? How?

When the young men got to hear of this further increase of wealth, they began to be
more attentive and pleasing to their father than ever before. And thus they continued to the
day of the old man’s demise, when the bags were greedily opened, and found to contain
only stones and gravel!

Did the sons change their conduct toward their father? What did
they hope for? How do you think the sons feel when they opened
the bags? What lessons does the selection teach you?

THE FACE IN THE POOL

Narcissus was out of breath from running when he came to a clear pool. He stopped
to drink. Just as he was about to sip the cool water, he saw a face in the pool. It was
handsome and he was attracted to it.
“Who are you?” he asked.
“Who are you?” echoed someone.
“Why are you mocking me?” asked Narcissus.
“Mocking me,” said the voice.
Narcissus was puzzled. He wanted to talk with the face in the pool but it would not
answer. He tried to catch it but to no avail. At last, he lost hope and plunged into the pool
hoping to see the owner of the face.

• How’s your composition?

• Did you find it easy making your composition?
• Don’t worry, the preceding activity will help you understand writing a 4-paragraph
composition showing comparison and contrast.

WHAT IS IT

Study the composition in the box below.

Beware Of
We often heard that alligators and crocodiles are dangerous. Did
you ever wonder how are they alike and different from each other?
Alligators and crocodiles have some characteristics that are
alike. They are both large and scary-looking reptiles. They have sharp
teeth and scaly skin, too. They also bury their eggs in sand or mud and
are even known to attack humans.
However, the two are also different in some ways. One
difference is their habitat. Alligators prefer to live in freshwater while
crocodiles prefer in salty water. Another one is their snout. Crocodiles
have long and narrow snout than the alligators. Unlike alligators too, the
crocodiles are more aggressive and move fast.
Indeed, these two reptiles look and behave in similar and
different ways. This must be something to be aware of.

2
 • How’s the composition in the box?

• Now, let’s talk about it.

 What is the composition all about?

 In the 1st paragraph, what were the two things being introduced? Does it state
the main idea of the composition?
 What were discussed in the 2nd paragraph? Do you notice some
transitions/signal words? What are they?
 How about in the 3rd paragraph, what were discussed? Can you cite the
signal words or transitions present?
 In the 4th paragraph, how was the composition ended? Does it restate the
introduction?

Thus:

 What is comparison and contrast composition?

It is a composition that tells the comparison (similarities) and contrast (differences)

of two or more (persons, animals, places, things) respectively.

 What should one remember in writing a composition showing comparison and

contrast?

The following tips should be remembered:

a. Choose the people or things (subjects) you want to describe

b. Organize similarities and differences of your two subjects in a Venn
diagram
c. Use the transition/signal words that show-
- similarities, such as like, similarly, and both
- differences, such as but, however, while, and on the other hand

 What outline should be followed?

The outline looks like this:

Title
Introductory Paragraph
(introduces the main idea/what to be talked in the
composition)
Body Paragraph 1
(presents how the things are similar)
Body Paragraph 2
(explains how the things are different)
Concluding Paragraph
(ends up and summarizes/restate the introduction)

3
 • I am sure you are now confident to move on the next exercise.

WHAT’S MORE

Below are set of paragraphs written in the boxes. Arrange the boxes in order to come
up with a good composition showing comparison and contrast. (Use the worksheet found on
page 9)

Name Me

On the other hand, the two are also different. Butterflies can
be seen during the day while most moths fly only at night. In
addition, butterfly’s body is thinner and smoother than moth’s body.

Some insects with colorful wings were found resting on a

flower. It could be a butterfly or a moth. Their similarities and
differences will surely help us name the insect.

Naming such insect is now easier knowing how they differ

from each other and alike in some ways.

Butterflies and moths have two things in common. One

similarity is their wings which covered with colorful scales. They
also have long and rolled-up tongues to use in drinking nectar from
flowers.

Activity 1

Directions: Cross out and remove unnecessary sentences to come up with a 4-paragraph
composition showing comparison and contrast. Make a title. Rewrite it in your paper.

Production of agricultural products has been very effective in the country because
of its farmlands. Among such are the rice terraces and plain rice fields. People should do
their part in protecting the environment. These two are alike in a few ways and different in
many others.
Rice terraces and plain rice fields are prepared paddy areas for planting rice and
other crops. Both farmlands can be irrigated so that plants may have enough water to thrive.
They serve as shelter for the animals.

5
 However, rice terraces are pieces of sloped planes that have been cut into steps that
used to farm on hilly or mountainous terrain. Some children play under the trees. On the
other hand, plain rice fields are flat and wide surfaces of land usually farmed on valleys and
plains.

Though alike and different in some other ways, the most important is the effective
production of raw food for the Filipinos.
