Discussion
Let us read a poem and let us find out how
the children showed their love for their
mother.
Who Loves Mother Best?
“Oh happy birthday, Mama dear.”
Sang Ben, Liz and Bess with cheer
“We love you much, we love you true.”
They kissed their mother, hugged her too.
Then quickly Ben skipped out to play
And went with playmates all the day.
Then rushed home in time to see
His sister Liz aglow with
glee.
For Liz held up an ice cream cone,
Enjoying it, she sat alone.
Ben grabbed the cone, and slipped away,
So Liz cried out, “For that you’ll pay!”
Like cats and dogs the two did struggle
Each making sure to win the battle.
They tried to push and then to pull,
While Mama almost lost her cool.
But little Bess with Mom she stayed,
She set the table, drinks she laid.
And helped to serve Mom’s friends and
guests
Now tell me, who loves Mother best?
After reading the poem, let us now answer
these questions:
“Why did Bess, Ben, and Liz kiss and hug “Because it is their Mother’s Birthday.”
their Mother?”
“Why was Liz aglow with glee?” “Liz was aglow a glee because she
was eating a cone of ice cream.”
“What made Liz cry out, “For that “Liz cried out because Ben grabbed the cone
you’llpay?” then slipped away.”
“Because Ben and Liz struggled.”
“Why did Mother almost lost her cool?”
“Bess, because she helped mother to serve

your parents?” Explain.
Analysis
(Show picture of a girl eating an ice cream)
“A girl is eating a cone of ice cream.”
“What do you see on the picture?”
“What happened to Liz when she was eating
a cone of ice cream?” Look again at the picture, “What
do you notice on Liz’s face?”
Liz was aglow with glee, answers what

cream. This is called the effect.
Because she was eating a cone of ice “Liz was happy (aglow with glee)”
cream, answers why Liz was aglow with glee.
This is called the cause.
And that’s what we call the Cause-and-effect
relationship.
Generalization “Liz was happy (aglow with glee)”
“A cause and effect relationship describes
something that happens and why it happens.” “Because she was eating a cone of ice cream.”
“What happens is called the effect; and why it
happens is called the cause.”
“The cause is usually introduced by the
connective because.”

following situations from the poem.

V. Assignment
Identifying CAUSE-AND-EFFECT RELATIONSHIP.
Read the short fable. Underline the CAUSE and Encircle the EFFECT
A fox said to a crow with a piece of cheese between its beak, “If you can sing as
prettily as you sit, then you are the prettiest singer.”
The fox thought that once the crow starts to sing, the cheese would drop from
her beak. But the crow carefully removed the cheese from the claws on one foot and
said, “they say you are sly, but you cannot fool me”. Not giving up, the fox continued
to praise the crow. “I wish I could hear you tell about your talents but I have to go
look for food because I’m hungry”.
