DIRECT AND INDIRECT SPEECH

Direct Speech: The President said, “I will ask Congress to appropriate funds to help urban communities.”

Indirect Speech : The President said that he will ask Congress to appropriate funds to help urban communities.

Direct speech represents a person’s exact speech or thoughts and is enclosed in quotation marks (“). In direct quotation, the words of the speaker are quoted exactly.

The speaker’s words are set off from the rest of the sentence. When the end of the quotation is also the end of the sentence, the period falls inside the quotation mark.

Miguel said, “Let’s meet at our house next time.”

If the quoted words are a question or an exclamation, the question mark or the exclamation mark falls inside the quotation marks.

“May I tell you a story?” Lola asked.“I deny everything!” the suspect cried.

If the entire sentence is a question or an exclamation, the exclamation or the question mark falls outside the quotation marks.

Did I hear you say, “I love you”?It’s a shame to consider these pick pockets “responsible citizens”!

Use a comma or colon after an introductory expression:

My father explained, “I want you to know all the story how Davao got its name.”

Use a comma, a question mark, or exclamation mark after a quotation followed by a concluding expression.

“I want you to know the story how Davao got its name,” my father explained.

Both parts of the divided quotation are enclosed in quotation marks. The first word of the second part is not capitalized unless it begins a new sentence.

“I plan,” the Secretary said, “to reduce oil price this month.”

An indirect speech rephrases someone else’s words. They are not the exact words of the speaker. It reports only the general meaning of what a person said or thought and does not require quotation mark.

Copy each sentence then add appropriate punctuation marks to indicate direct speech/quotation:

1. Please be home on time for your father’s birthday dinner tonight mother reminded me.2. The guard insisted You must have a pass before I can allow you to enter.

3. If you have trouble understanding the story said Miss Liwayway read it over a second time.

Ibong Adarna

Once upon a time, there lived a king who had three sons, Don Pedro, Don Diego and Don Juan. The two elder sons, Don Pedro and Don Diego were haughty and proud. The youngest, Don Juan, was humble , courteous, friendly, and helpful. Often, the two older brothers would play naughty jokes on their younger brother. But Don Juan was so good that he would promptly forgive them.

One day, the king fell ill. From far and near, the doctors came, but no one could cure the strange malady. Each day, the king became weaker.

One night, he had a strange dream. He called his wife and three sons and told them about his dream.

“A lovely lady appeared,” he related, “ and she said that only the song of the Adarna bird would make me well.”

The people of the kingdom heard about the dream and they were greatly troubled, They knew about the Adarna bird. They knew it lived seven mountains away, in Mt. Tabor. They knew that along the way were many dangerous and strange animals, plants, and beings. They knew, too, that all those who had gone in search of the Adarna never returned.

Early the next morning, Don Pedro announced that he would seek the Adarna. Preparations were made for his journey. At last, he was ready to go.

Don Pedro traveled many days and many nights. He went over hills and thick forests. After many hours of weary travel, he finally crossed the sixth mountain. Don Pedro walked faster, inspired by the thought that he was nearly at the end of his journey.

But luck was not with him. Just when Mt. tabor seemed very near, he cane upon a river that looked very deep and had a very swift current. He sat down on the bank of the river wondering how he could go across. Finally, he thought of a plan. Breaking off some branches of a tree nearby, he tied them together to form a raft.

He placed the raft on the water and when he was about to step on it, a voice spoke.

“Please help me across,” the voice quivered.

Don Pedro was surprised to hear a human voice in such a forsaken place. Quickly, he looked to see where the voice came from. Beside him stood an old man tattered in clothes. He had a beard, so long, it nearly reached the ground.

“Please let me go with you across the river,” pleaded the old man, “The current is so swift I cannot cross it by myself.”

“Go away,” Don Pedro said impatiently. “Can’t you see that I’m having a difficult time, myself?” And with that, he pushed the old man away, boarded his makeshift raft, and sailed away without a backward glance.

The river was very rough but Don Pedro hung on to his raft, until miraculously, he reached the bank on the other side. The experience had made him hungry. He rested awhile then took out some food from his bag.

“Please spare me some food,” said a voice near Don Pedro.

Don Pedro was surprised. It was the same old man who had begged him for help on the other side of the river.

“What a nuisance,” he said to himself.

Aloud, he said rudely, “Go away, can’t you see that I have very little for myself?” And he continued eating without giving the old man another glance.

When Don Pedro has eaten his fill, he walked through the forest of Mt. tabor, trying to catch a glimpse of the Adarna. Evening came and still he had not seen the bird. He came to a tree with leaves of sparkling silver.

“I must have some of those leaves,” he said to himself. He climbed the tree and filled his bag and his pocket with the silver leaves. “I may as well rest here,” he said as he clambered down, and, sitting, rested his back against the tree trunk.

Unknown to him, the tree was the favorite haunt of the Adarna. Soon, Don Pedro heard the flapping of wings. It came from the most beautiful bird Don Pedro had ever seen. Its feathers of dazzling colors were even more beautiful than the rainbow. The bird alighted on a branch just above Don Pedro ahead. Then it began to sing.

“What a lovely bird! What sweet music! Surely this must be the Adarna. I must go up the tree and catch it,” thought Don Pedro.

Don Pedro tried to climb the tree but he was so tired and the music was so sweet that he felt drowsy. Soon, he was fast asleep.

Meanwhile, the bird went on singing. After the seventh song, some of the bird’s dropping fell on the sleeping Don Pedro.

When Don Pedro failed to return, the second prince left to look for the Adarna bird. Like his elder brother, he had to overcome many obstacles before he read the bank of the river that separated Mt. Tabor from the sixth mountain. He also met an old man who asked to be helped across the river. Like his brother, he was rude to the old man who asked to cross the river. Don Diego found the trees with sparkling leaves, saw the Adarna bird and was lulled to sleep by its sweet song. When the bird’s droppings fell on the sleeping prince, he too, was turned into stone.

By this time, the king’s condition had worsened. His illness was aggravated by anxiety over the fate of his two sons who had not returned yet.

Don Juan, the youngest, begged permission to leave but the king would not let him.

“I may be young in years, but I am strong and unafraid. Let me look for the Adarna and for my brothers, too,” he pleaded. “But bless me before I go.”

With the blessing from the king and his queen, the brave Don Juan stretch forth on his dangerous journey. Like his brothers, he met an old man trying to cross the deep river. However, the current was very strong.

“Let me help, old man, ”Don Juan offered. “Get on my back and I’ll take you across.”

“Thank you, son” the old man replied. “I am tired and my knees are weak.”

When they reached the opposite bank, Don Juan took out his lunch.

“You look very hungry,” he told the old man. “Let me share my poor fare with you.”

During the simple meal the old man asked Don Juan where he was going. When he told, he commented. “It is a dangerous mission. The Adarna bird is treacherous and cunning. And it casts a spell over anyone who

listens to its song. But one good turn deserves another. When you reach the top of the next mountain, look for a little stone hut. The hermit who lives there will help you. Follow exactly what he tells you.”

The two then parted ways. Don Juan found the little stone hut. The hermit who lived there greeted him warmly.

“Welcome, son” he said. “I have been expecting you. I have prepared some supper. Come, you looked tired and famished.”

After the meal, the hermit gave Don Juan some instructions.

“Over there is Mt. Tabor where grows the magic tree with sparkling leaves of silver. “Do not pick any leaf. That tree is the favorite haunt of the Adarna. The Adarna will wing seven times, changing the color of its feathers at every song. At the end of its seventh song, it will go to sleep. That’s the time to catch it. But it cannot be caught with bare hands. Here is a gold cord to bind the bird’s legs. No other cord can serve the purpose.”

“Thank you, most kindly, sir.” Said the young prince. “I’m ready to start on my journey.

“Stay a while,” said the hermit. “The Adarna casts a spell on anyone who hears its song. The music lulls the listener to sleep. Be sure to keep awake when it sings. Take these seven small lemons and this knife with you. When the bird begins to sing, make a cut on your arm and squeeze one lemon over the wound. The pain will keep you awake. And avoid the bird’s droppings.”

The old man continued. “Bring this dipper. Beside the tree is a well. Fill the dipper with water and pout it over the odd-shaped stones under the tree.”

“Sir,” replied Don Juan. “I am much obliged to you. I’ll never forget your kindness.”

It was almost evening when Don Juan reached the tree with sparkling leaves of silver. Tired but expectant, he waited for the coming of the Adarna bird. Soon, he heard the flapping of wings.

Looking up, he beheld a wondrous sight for the bird’s feathers had all the colors of the rainbow. As he sat enraptured by its beauty, the air was filled with ethereal music. It was the Adarna bird singing. The song was so sweet that he was becoming drowsy.

Remembering the hermit’s advice, he made a cut on his arm and squeezed the lemon into the wound. For each song of the Adarna, Don Juan made a deeper cut on his arm and squeezed lemon into it. In this way, he managed to keep awake. As the hermit had foretold, the Adarna let its droppings fall after the seventh song. But none fell on the wide-awake prince.

Meanwhile, the Adarna closed its eyes and was soon fast asleep. This was the moment Don Juan was waiting for. He caught the Adarna and bound its legs securely with the gold cord the hermit had given him.

“Next he filled the dipper with water from the well, as advised by the hermit. As he poured the water over the two odd-shaped stones under the tree, a strange thing happened. The stones began to stir and assume human forms. Soon, Don Pedro and Don Diego stood before him.

“My brother!” exclaimed Don Juan. “How … why… but no matter. Let’s hurry home for the king and queen are worried over you. I have here the Adarna the Adarna, the bird that will cure the king with its song.” The two brothers were filled with envy for it was Don Juan who had succeeded in catching the Adarna. On their journey back to the kingdom, while Don Juan asleep, they tied him to a tree and left him.

There was great rejoicing when the two brothers arrived at the palace.

“We have brought the Adarna of Mt. tabor,” they announced proudly. “Now, the king will be cured of his malady.”

“But where is your brother, Don Juan?” asked the king.

“We did not find a trace of him,” they told their father.

Turning to the Adarna, they commanded, “Sing for the king.”

But the bird would not sing. It looked so forlorn and was not so pretty after all.

“This is not the bird I saw in my dream,” whispered the king. “Perhaps, this is not the Adarna.”

The Adarna opened its bill as though it wanted to speak. The people in the room stopped talking.

“Your Majesty,” the bird began. “I am really the Adarna of Mt. Tabor. But I cannot sing for I feel very miserable, my heart is nearly breaking.”

“What is breaking your heart, dear bird?” asked the King.

“Because,” answered the bird, “your youngest son, Don Juan lies unconscious and tied to a tree by the roadside. It was Don Juan who captured me. And it was he who rescued his wicked brothers who had been turned to stone.”

The king was very angry when he heard this.

“Seize the two,” he commanded the soldiers, “and throw them into prison …”

Before he could finish, who should come rushing but Don Juan!

“Forgive them, my father,” begged the young prince. “After all, I am already back home, safe and sound.”

And he told how the kind hermit who had helped him capture the Adarna had revived him with magic herbs.”

“Let bygones be bygones,“ he said embracing his father.

Suddenly, the Adarna flapped its wings, changed into rainbow colors, and began to sing. Its music was so sweet that everyone was enraptured. The king became calm, his melancholy and anxieties vanished.

Everyday he bird sang. Soon, the king was cured of his strange malady.

And the Adarna stayed on bringing peace and happiness to everyone.

The Monkey and the Crocodile

A monkey lived in a great tree on a river bank.

In the river there were many crocodiles. A crocodile watched the monkeys for a long time, and one day she said to her: “My son, get one of those monkeys for me. I want the heart of a monkey to eat.”

“How am I to catch a monkey?” asked the little crocodile. “I do not travel on land , and the monkey does not go into the water.”

“Put your wits to work, and you’ll find a way,” said the mother.

And the little crocodile thought and thought.

At last he said to himself: “I know what I’ll do. I’ll get that monkey that lives in a big tree on the river bank. He wishes to go across the river to the island where the fruit is ripe.”

So the crocodile swam to the tree where the monkey lived. But he was a stupid crocodile.

“Oh, monkey,” he called, “come with me over to the island where the fruit is so ripe.”

“How can I go with you?” asked the monkey. “I do not swim.”

“No – but I do. I will take you over on my back,” said the crocodile.

“Off we go!’ said the crocodile.

“This is a fine ride you are giving me!” said the monkey.

“Do you think so? Well, how do you like this?” asked the crocodile, diving.

“Oh, don’t!” cried the monkey, as he went under the water. He was afraid to let go, and he did not know what to do under the water.

When the crocodile came up the monkey sputtered and choked. “Why did you take me under water crocodile?” he asked.

“I am going to kill you by keeping you under water,” answered the crocodile. “My mother wants a monkey heart to eat, and I am going to take yours to her.”

“I wish you had told me you wanted my heart,” said the monkey, “then I might have brought it with me.”

“How queer!” said the stupid crocodile. “Do you mean to say that you left your heart back there in the tree?”

“That is what I mean,” said the monkey. “If you want my heart, we must go back to the tree and get it. But we are so near the island where the ripe fruit is, please take me there first.”

“No, monkey,” said the crocodile, I’ll take you straight back to your tree. Never mind the ripe fruit. Get your heart and bring it to me at once. Then we’ll see about going to the island.”

“Very well,” said the Monkey.

But no sooner had he jumped onto the bank of the river then --- whisk! Up he ran into the tree.

From the top most branches he called down to the crocodile in the water below.

“My heart is way up here! If you want it, come for it, come for it!”

The monkey soon moved away from that tree. He wanted to get away from the crocodile, so that he might live in peace.

But the crocodile found him, far down the river, living in another tree.

In the middle of the river was an island covered with fruit trees.

Half-way between the bank of the river and the island, a large rock rose out of the water. The monkey could jump to the rock, and then to the island. The crocodile watched the monkey crossing from the bank of the river to the rock, and then to the island.

He thought to himself, “The monkey will stay on the island all day, and I’ll catch him on his way home at night.”

The monkey had a fine feast while the crocodile swam about watching him all day.

Toward night the crocodile crawled out of the water and lay on the rock, perfectly still.

When it grew dark among the trees, the monkey started for home. He ran down to the river bank, and there he stopped.

“What is the matter with the rock?” the monkey thought to himself. “I never saw it so high before. The crocodile is lying on it.”

But he went to the edge of the water and called: “Hello, Rock!”

No answer.

Then he called again: “Hello, Rock!”

Three times the monkey called, and then he said: “Why is it, Friend Rock that you do not answer me tonight?”

“Oh, said the stupid crocodile to himself, “the rock answers the monkey at night. I’ll have to answer for the rock this time.”

So he answered: “Yes, Monkey! What is it?”

The monkey laughed and said: ”Oh, it’s you, crocodile, is it?

“Yes, said the crocodile. “I am waiting here for you. I am going to eat you.”

“You have caught me in a trap this time,” said the monkey. “There is no other way for me to go home. Open your mouth wide so I can jump right into it.”

Now the monkey well knew that when crocodiles open their mouths wide, thy shut their eyes.

While the crocodile lay on the rock with his mouth wide open and his eyes shut, the monkey jumped.

But not into his mouth! Oh no! He landed on the top of the crocodile’s head, and then sprang quickly to the bank. Up he whisked into his tree.

When the crocodile saw the trick the monkey had played on him, he said: “Monkey you have great cunning. You know no fear. I’ll let you alone after this.”

“Thank you, Crocodile, but I shall be on the watch for you just the same,” said the monkey.
