The Dimalanta were a strange family that lived in Sinagtala, a busy town with sunshine-colored houses and lots of laughter in the streets. Mr. Dimalanta was an engineer with a deep voice. Mrs. Dimalanta was a ball of energy who loved polka dots, and their three kids, Savier, Sharry, and Lorry, were not getting along at all. 
The oldest child, Savier, was a boy who always rushed through doors, dropping things and mumbling "sorry" as he went. Sharry, the middle child, knew many exciting things but often just blurted them out without thinking about what they meant. Lorry, the youngest, usually had temper tantrums and felt very entitled. He thought the world spun around him. 
A strange thing happened one sunny afternoon while Mr. Dimalanta was working in his workshop and Mrs. Dimalanta was planning the yearly Thanksgiving. When Sharry slammed the back door, a gust of wind blew through the house with a poof! Sinagtala lost its politeness. 


Title: A Politeness Quest to Solve the Mystery of the Missing Manners

One sunny afternoon, Mr. Dimalanta was working in his workshop, and Mrs. Dimalanta was planning the yearly Thanksgiving. Sharry slammed the back door, and a gust of wind blew through the house with a poof! Sinagtala lost its politeness. People forgot to say 'please' and 'thank you,' and everyone started bumping into each other. The Dimalanta kids noticed the change and decided to solve the mystery.

The Wind's Mischief

Savier, Sharry, and Lorry gathered in the living room to discuss what had happened. 'We need to find the missing manners,' said Savier, trying to sound brave. Sharry suggested they start by asking their neighbors if they had seen anything strange. Lorry, still feeling a bit grumpy, reluctantly agreed to help. Together, they set off on their quest through the sunny streets of Sinagtala.

The Search Begins

As they walked, they noticed people being rude and impatient everywhere. They reached Mrs. Flores' bakery, where Sharry asked, 'Have you seen any missing manners?' Mrs. Flores shook her head but offered them cookies for their journey. Savier thanked her politely, and they realized that kindness might help them find the missing manners. They decided to spread kindness wherever they went.

Clues and Kindness

The more they spread kindness, the more people started to remember their manners. They helped an old man carry his groceries and said 'please' and 'thank you' at every chance. Slowly, the town of Sinagtala began to change back to its polite self. When they returned home, Mrs. Dimalanta smiled and said, 'You did it!' The Dimalanta kids learned that politeness and kindness could solve any problem.
