BR 1-14: The Reluctant Dragon

I read The Reluctant Dragon, because the dragon is cute☆

It was first published over 100 years ago.

Main characters are a dragon and a boy.

One evening, the man saw the dragon and terrify. But his son wasn't scared. The next day, the boy set off up the hill to find the dragon. The dragon was friendly, and he was thrilled to see the boy. The boy sat down and asked the dragon all kinds of questions. The dragon told stories of long, long ago. The boy came back every day to hear the stories. But then the villagers found out about the dragon. They were terrified.

That afternoon, the boy heard even worse news. The boy rushed back to the dragon. "Saint George the Dragon Killer wants to fight you," gasped the boy. But the dragon was optimistic and dull. Then, the boy had George come to the dragon. The boy planed.

The next morning, lots of villagers arrived to watch the fight. They cheered and waved when Saint George rode into view. Then a roar echoed around the hills. Flames filled the air. Everyone gasped as the dragon appeared. His scales sparkled and he breathed out fire. George galloped hard, his spear held high. The dragon bounded up. And they shot past each other. George and the dragon turned around and charged again. This time, there was no way they could miss. CLATTER! BANG! OUF! The dragon slumped to the ground. George towered over him.

The boy was happy because his plan worked. The villagers were happy because they'd seen a fight. George was happy because he'd won. The dragon was happiest of all. He had lots of new friends and a very full tummy. Everyone was very happy!!!

I felt good because everyone was happy. It is very good story. Please read it!

But if I see a dragon, I will pass out. ha ha How about you?

BR 1-13: The Ant and the Grasshopper

I read The Ant and the Grasshopper, because I wasn't familiar with this story. It is one of Aesop's Fables, a collection of stories first told in Ancient Greece around 4,000 years ago. The stories always have a "moral" at the end.

Of course, the main characters are an ant and a grasshopper.

One day in summer, grasshopper sings in the sun. But ant works. "Play with me," says grasshopper. "I can't," says ant. Ant preperes for winter, but grasshopper doesn't. Ant thinks that grasshopper will be hungry in winter.

And, winter comes. Ant is very happy, but grasshopper is cold and very hungry. "Come inside," says ant. Grasshopper enters in ant's house. "Next summer I'll work too." says grasshopper!

Grasshopper learns that it is best to be prepared.

I could know about ant and grasshopper.

And, Ant is hard worker and very kind Grasshopper is optimistic. I want to have character like ant and grasshopper! ha ha

It is good story. I want you to read it!

BR 1-12: The Inch Prince

I read The Inch Prince, because I'm interested in fairy stories, and I wasn't familiar with this story. As you know, The Inch Prince is based on a very old Japanese fairy tale called The One Inch Boy.

Of course, the main character is the Inch Prince. If you measure him, you'll see he's just one inch tall (that's 2.5cm!!!!!!!).

Once upon a time, there was a little old man and a little old woman. Their names were Mr. and Mrs. Ping. They lived in a tiny house by a river. They had everything they wanted... well, almost. "I wish we had some children, " said Mrs. Ping, one evening. At that moment, a fairy flew by. She heard it. She waved her wand and whispered some magic words. Soon afterwards, Mr. Ping and Mrs. Ping had teeny weeny boy. In fact, he was just one inch tall. "Let's call him Issun-boshi," said Mr. Ping.

Many years later, it was time for Issy to leave home.His parents gave him three presents for this journey. Issy set off down the river until he reached the big city to get a job. Issy reached the emperor's palace. At last, he got a job! He had to look after Princess Chi-Chi. From then on, Issy never left the princess's side. One day, they came to a dark forest. The princess was scared. There was a terrifying roar. A giant ogre crashed through the trees. He reached onto to grab the princess. The ogre scooped up Issy, and popped him in his month. Issy thought quickly. He took his needle-award and pricked the ogre's tongue. The ogre spat out Issy and ran off. A cloud of magical stars shot out of the hammer and swept around Issy. Issy felt himself changing. He grew bigger and bigger!!! In seconds, he was as big as the princess. The princess fell in love with Issy, but not because he was tall. She loved him because he was brave. They got married and lived in a house next to the palace. The house was small, but Prince Issy and Princess Chi-Chi were happy!! They both knew that small things can be special too!!

It is very interesting story, and Issy is very cute! But he is very brave. I may fall in love with him♡ha ha I want foreigners to read it!
