TASK 1

THE LEGEND OF PINEAPPLE

Once upon a time, there was a woman who lived with her daughter Pina in a tiny hut
in the village. They were poor, and the mother worked day and night to make both ends meet.
No matter how hard she worked, though, she never got any help from her daughter. Pina was
a lazy, spoiled kid who liked to play in the backyard all day. Whenever her mother asked for
help around the house or tried to send her on an errand, she would always find an excuse by
saying she can’t find the object that was needed to complete that task. If her mother asked her
KESIMPULAN
to sweep the house, for example, she would say she cannot find the broom, even if it was right
there in front of her. Needless to say, her mother always ended up doing the work herself.

One day, her mother became very ill. She called out to Pina, who as usual was playing in
the backyard.
“Pina! Pina! Come over here, Pina. I am very sick. Can you cook some porridge for me
please? I am too weak to get up.”

Pina ignored her mother and continued to play.

“Pina, come over here this very instant, or else!” Pina’s mother mustered all her strength
just to say this, but it worked. Pina grudgingly stopped playing and went inside the house. She
poked her head inside her mother’s room.

“What do you want, Nanay (mother)? You really expect me to cook for you? That’s too
hard,” protested Pina, pouting and stomping her feet.
