Ti Umok

Book in Ilokano

Week 20. Author: DepEd Division of La Union Tito saw a nest with baby birds in it. He wanted to get the birds from the nest to play with them, but Tito's mother told him not to. She explains how the mother bird takes care of its babies by building a nest for them and by bringing them food just like how Tito's mother and father takes care of him. The mother bird and her babies will feel sad if they are separated, just like how Tito will feel sad if he is separated from his mother and father. Tito realizes that his mother is right and watches as the mother bird returns and sings with her babies. 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.
