II. Arrange the paragraph according to the first event happened in the story, write the letter only.
A. Dodong’s mother removed the dishes when they were through and went out to the batalan to wash them.
She walked with slow careful steps and Dodong wanted to help her carry the dishes out, but he was tired and
now felt lazy. He wished as he looked at her that he had a sister who could help his mother in the housework.
He pitied her, doing all the housework alone.
B. Dodong traced tremulous steps on the dry parchedyard. He ascended the bamboo steps slowly. His heart
pounded mercilessly in him. Within, he avoided his parent’s eyes. He walked ahead of them so that they
should not see his face. He felt
guilty and untrue. He felt like crying. His eyes smarted and his chest wanted to burst. He wanted to turn back,
to go back to the yard. He wanted somebody to punish him.
C. Blas was not Dodong’s only child. Many more children came. For six successive years a new child came
along. Dodong did not want any more children, but they came. It seemed the coming of children could not be
helped. Dodong got angry with himself sometimes.
D. Dodong rose from his mat and told Blas to follow him. They descended to the yard where everything was
still and quiet. The moonlight was cold and white.
“You want to marry Tona,” Dodong said. He did not want Blas to marry yet. Blas was very young. The life that
would follow marriage would be hard…
E. The sun was salmon and hazy in the west.Dodong thought to himself he would tell his father about Teang
when he got home,after he had unhitched the carabao from the plow, and let it touts shed and fed it. He was
hesitant about saying it,
but he wanted his father to know.
F. He walked faster, prodded by the thought of his virility. A small angled stone bled his foot, but he dismissed
it cursorily. He lifted his leg and looked at the hurt toe and then went on walking. In the cool sundown he
thought wild you dreams of himself and Teang. Teang, his girl. She had a small black eyes and straight glossy
hair. How desirable she was to him. She made him dream even during the day.
G. It was dusk when he reached home. The petroleum lamp on the ceiling already was lighted and the low
unvarnished square table was set for supper. His parents and he sat down on the floor around the table to eat.
They had fried fresh-water
fish, rice, bananas, and caked sugar.
H. In a few moments he would be a father. “Father, father,” he whispered the word with awe, with strangeness.
He was young, he realized now, contradicting himself of nine months comfortable… “Your son,” people would
soon be telling him.
“Your son, Dodong.”
I. When Blas was eighteen he came home one night very flustered and happy. It was late at night and Teang
and the other children were asleep. Dodong heard Blas’s steps, for he could not sleep well of nights. He
watched Blas undress in the dark and lie down softly. Blas was restless on his mat and could not sleep.
J. “I am going to marry Teang,” Dodong said. His father looked at him silently and stopped sucking the broken
tooth. The silence became intense and cruel, and Dodong wished his father would suck that troublous tooth
again. Dodong was uncomfortable and became angry because his father kept looking at him without uttering
anything.
