Week 29. Author: Mary Rose Jucar Mon and Marie always play and do a lot of things together. One day, Marie tells Mon that she is going away to live in another place. She describes to Mon that to go to that faraway place she is moving to, she would have to ride a ship to cross the sea and fly in an airplane. They spend the rest of the day playing with paper boats and paper planes and promise never to forget each other even if they are in different places. 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.
