May malaking-malaking problema si Maya!
Paano kasi, lahat ng ibinibili sa kaniya ng nanay niya, malalaki rin—malaking bestida, medyas at sapatos,
tsinelas at uniporme. Nahihiya tuloy siyang isuot ang mga ito. Para kasing hindi bagay sa kaniya. Parang
laging matatanggal o mahuhulog kapag suot niya.
Lumiliit tuloy ang kaniyang tiwala sa sarili.
Kaya naitanong minsan ni Maya, siya ba talaga ang iniisip ng kaniyang nanay kapag bumibili ng mga
damit, medyas o sapatos niya o ang ibang bata? Bakit ba laging malalaki ang binibili ng kaniyang Nanay?
Nagiging parang higante tuloy ang pakiramdam niya.
Alamin sa kuwentong ito ang magiging solusyon sa malalaking problema ni Maya.
Maya has a very, very big problem!
Everything that her mother buys for her are big—big dresses, socks and shoes, slippers, and uniforms.
She feels embarrassed wearing them.
They hardly suit her. It seems like they’ll slip or fall off when she wears them.
Her self-confidence is shrinking all the while.
So Maya once asked: is she really the one her mother thinks about when she goes shopping for Maya’s
clothes, socks and shoes, or some other kid?
Why does her mother keep on buying things in large sizes?
It’s making her feel like a giant.
Find out what the solution to Maya’s big problem is in this story.
