Tuldok: Ang Pinagmulan ng Buhay
 
Written by Ompong Remigio, Illustrated by May Tobias-Papa
 
There is a dot that pulses. It has a heart that beats, can think and hear. As it gets bigger, it gains more understanding, begins to have feelings, listens to songs and the whispers of its father and mother. After nine months, what used to be a dot now squirms, wanting to break away. 
 
Read in this delightful story the metaphorical account of the mystery behind the origin of life. 
 
May isang tuldok na tumitibok-tibok. May pusong pumipintig, isip at pandinig. Nang luamki, lalong nakaiintindi, nakakaramdam, nakikinig sa awit at sa bulong ng ama't ina. Pagkalipas ng siyam na buwan, ang dating tuldok ay pumiglas, nagpipilit umalpas.
 
Basahin sa kathang ito ang isang matalinghagang paglalahad ng misteryo ng pinagmulan ng buhay.
