Week 15. Author: Angeli Ludovico A picky eater, Blanca eats only longganisa. One day, she goes home crying because her team lost a relay in school. She could not run as fast as the other children because she does not eat vegetables or drink milk. The next day, mother packs her fish and vegetables for lunch but she would not eat her food. She goes home very hungry, and smells the food that mother has prepared. She is so hungry that she eats the pansit, the hot soup and the meat and finds everything delicious! From then on, she eats different kinds of food that give her energy. 2017 by U.S.Agency for International Development (USAID) Produced for the Department of Education under the USAID Basa Pilipinas Activity Basa Pilipinas is USAID/Philippines’ flagship basic education activity in support of the Philippine Government’s early grade reading program.
