BR 1-15: The Old Woman who lived in a Shoe

I read The Old Woman who lived in a Shoe, because I thought it must be interesting!

It is based on an ole nursery rhyme. It may have been written about Queen Caroline, the wife of King George Ⅱ of England (1683-1760). The couple had eight children.

The main character is an old woman.

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe. She had so many children. She didn't know what to do. There were many kinds of the children. For example, greedy, small, short and tall etc... There were boys and girls all over the place. There were many children squeezed in together, with no room to grow. So, she needed to find a bigger home and fast. She made a list of the shoe stores. She went to them all, but the boots were too tiny and the shoes were too small. She was on her way home by the side of a river, when she met a huge giant. He gave a sad shiver. He needed to help. She helped him soon. He thanked her, and he gave her his shoes. It is very big!! She gladded to get it. She and many children came to live in it. So, now all the children have space to have fun. And the little old woman can knit in the sun.

It is very cute story. I want to live in shoe, but inside's smell is very bad!! ha ha
