THE RAG DOLL

“K-r-r-i-n-g-g!” went the old clock on the table.”Wake up Betty! It is already late. We might not have anything more.“ said Ariel.

“Okay! I’ll be up,” said the sleepy Betty as she tried to open her eyes. After drinking hot coffee and eating pandesal, the two children got their pushcart. Soon, they were on their way to dump site. As they pushed their cart, they talked as they walked.

“I hope we will be able to get more usable things to be sold to kabise,” said Ariel.“Yes, Ariel, we need to earn more,” answered Betty. “Mother needs medicine. She is

coughing terribly.”“Classes will soon open and we need to pay our tuition fee,” added Ariel.When the children arrived at the dump, there were already some children. So they

joined others in sorting usable things.For the day’s effort, they were able to earn one hundred and forty pesos. They went to

the drugstore to buy medicine for their mother. They also bought a little rice and a fish.Later, they were on their way home.“Let’s buy oranges for Mother,” suggested Betty.“Oh yes, she needs some to help ease her cough.”

When they reached home, they prepared their food right away. After feeding their mother, they gave her some oranges and the medicine. Their mother was so happy that she cried.

“How wonderful you are, children. I’m so lucky to have you. I’m so proud of you!” remarked their mother as she wiped the tears rolling down her cheeks. The children embraced their mother. And they said happily.”You are wonderful too, Mother. We are so lucky and proud to have you as our mother.” Night, the family gathered together to say their prayers. What a sight to look at! The mother leading the prayers with the children answering devoutly.

The two children continued their daily routine happily and without any complaint. They were happy and contented with their simple needs.

One afternoon, while Betty was sitting near the window, she heard a loud voice.“Good afternoon! Is this the house of Betty Zaraspe?”Betty upon hearing her name, jumped out to see who was calling. She saw a driver with

a package.“Doña Clara is giving this package to her goddaughter, Betty” said the driver. “You must

be Betty.”“Oh! Yes, sir, I’m betty,” answered Betty.“So this is for you,” said the man.“Thank you very much. Please come in so mother can see you,”said Betty.“Never mind, thank you,” remarked the driver. “Doña Clara still needs the car at three

o’clock. So I must leave now. Just tell your mother that Doña Clara is extending her regards to her. Goodbye!”

“Thank you again, sir, and goodbye!” said Betty.Betty was so excited while telling her mother about the package. When she opened it,

she found a pretty rag doll.“At last, I have a pretty doll!” shouted Betty in delight.”Ninang is so thoughtful! How can

I thank her, Mother?” asked Betty.“You may write a letter to her, suggested her mother.From that time on, Betty was so happy with her rag doll. Every day, she brought it to the

dump site. She cannot afford to leave it behind. So, after a while, the rag doll was soiled. The more Betty loved it.

One day, Ariel got sick so Betty was forced to go to the dumpsite alone. Her only companion was her rag doll.

After getting all the usable things at the dumpsite, Betty went straight to Kabise. On her way to Kabise, she met four boys. They were shouting and laughing boisterously. Betty was frightened upon seeing them and more so when they grabbed her rag doll.

“Please give me back my rag doll,” pleased Betty.But her plea went to deaf ears. Instead of giving the rag doll back to Betty, they threw it

down and passed it to one another. They even stepped on it.When they left, the rag doll was in terrible mess. It had a disheveled appearance.With tears in her eyes, Betty picked up the rag doll. Instead of going to Kabise, she went

straight home to tell her mother what happened.When Ariel and her Mother saw the rag doll, they were so angry. “What happened to

the rag doll? Who did this terrible thing?”asked Mother. “Tell me and I’ll punish them!” said Ariel who stood up in spite of his fever.

But before Betty could answer their questions, she saw something coming out of the ragdoll. Her eyes widened when she saw money coming out of the rag doll. The three were taken aback with what they saw. At mother’s suggestion, they opened the ragdoll and to their big surprise, there was plenty of money inside the rag doll. “We are rich now!” shouted Ariel. “ I can buy another rag doll!” said Betty. “ Thank God!” exclaimed her mother.
