MISTER BEETLE’S MANY ROOMS

“Mister Beetle’s many rooms”

Written and Illustrated by Robert Magnuson

Published by Adarna House, Inc. 2004

SUMMARY

The story started with Mister Beetle finding a house in a middle of

the field. It was a small plant with five branches; he immediately

claimed the tree, along with its five branches , as his and even made

a sign to in front of it. He was awakened by a sound of guitar by a

cricket who was sitting on a branch, a sixth branch, which Mister

Beetle never saw before. Since he only claimed the five ones, he did

not have much to argue with. Then, as rain and shine goes by, more

branches sprout out of the plant. Along with the appearance of

these branches came more neighbors. Mister Beetle got irritated

and decided to leave. As he was leaving, his neighbors made him a

surprise party for the first anniversary of him finding the plant.

They thanked Mister Beetle, and he felt happy. Eventually, he had

appreciated the plant and its many branches and most especially his

neighbors.

A SPIDER STORY

“A Spider Story”

Written by Germain Yia

Illustrated by Liza Flores

Published by Lampara Publishing House Inc., 2004

SUMMARY

Bella the spider was envious of the other animal’s homes. This

inspired her to make an extraordinary web. She searched for

the perfect material for her new web. She used hair she found

in a parlor, a chewed up bubble gum she found in a store and

left over spaghetti. She tried to make a web out of each of

these materials. However, she figured out they weren’t the

right material for a web: when she twirled around her web

made of hair, each strand started to break; when she stepped

on her web made of bubble gum, she found out that it was

sticky and in no way comfortable; her spaghetti web instantly

became dinner for some rat. This saddens her and as she

thought of where she would go, she saw the perfect web: the

one she made; her real home. She realized that she had made

the perfect web after all.
