FIVE LOAVES OF BREAD She stood at the bar of justice A frightened creature wan and wild In form too small for a woman, In feature too old for a child. For a look so worn and pathetic Was stamped on her lovely face It seemed that years of suffering Was something time couldn’t erase. “Your name?” asked the judge as he eyed her. “Is Anna Ruiz, Sir,” said the girl. “And your age?” asked the judge again, Then girl replied, “I’ve turned fifteen.” “Well Anna, I’m sorry to say,  That you have been charged today.  By your town baker who said,  That you stole five loaves of bread Do you know that stealing is bad? And that you have displeased our God? Do you know that you could be jailed? And cannot be set free or bailed?” “Your Honor, I know it was wrong,  But day in and out I walked along Looking for work so I could earn Even hard jobs, I’m willing to learn.  But fate’s unkind, my father is dead,  My mother...

You too have changed! You spent more time in your poker, majong tables, bar...

The Lost Girl by Dhang I am a girl, young in heart and in mind… I am carefree, I enjoy doing nothing but play,play and play…I seldom go to school but hmp! nobody cares!

" So I turned to my father to console me. But what a wonderful world word he did tell me…  " Child, I have to finish my overtime work…Here’s 500 pesos, go and ask your teacher about that question…" Sadly,I attended my class… But I heard nothing but the echoing voice of my teacher,torturing me with her words…  " Hey yo lazy girl!
