BR 2-18: King Donkey Ears

I read “King Donkey Ears.”

This story is about a king, Meg, a servant, the king’s best friend, a tree, a woodcutter and a harp.
There was once a king with a big secret. He didn’t even tell his best friend. Every month, the king had a hair cut. Then he sent the servant to prison. In July, it was Meg’s turn. Meg saw the king’s ears. She was shocked, but she didn’t say.

That night, it was all Meg could think about. She had to tell. At last, she had an idea. She wouldn’t tell anyone. She’d tell a tree. So she did. Now Meg felt much better. Later, a woodcutter chopped down the tree. The tree became a harp. One day, the king gave a huge concert. But the new harp played a very strange tune. The harp has been spilt secret. So the king freed all the servants. And he learned to love his ears. .

I think that it is not shameful that my secret is taken to pieces. But I am also find it’s mind. I have secret too.
My favorite line “he learned to love his ears.” (Lesley, 2009, p.25) It is important to love my fault. I learned it. I am also important to love my fault.

BR 2-17: The Baobab Tree

I read “The Baobab Tree.”

This story is about a talking tree and some angry African gods.
One day, they made a talking tree. They called it the Baobab tree. The Baobab tree talked a lot. The gods grew a forest of tall trees. The Baobab tree was fed up. The gods made trees with flowers. Then the gods made trees that grew fruit. But Baobab not fruit and flowers. They grabbed the Baobab tree and turned it upside down. His head was in the ground. He couldn’t open his mouth to talk. No one has ever heard the Baobab tree say another word.

I think that Baobab is very poor. I am sad. I wanted you to make the flower bloom in Baobab. I am not my favorite line. It’s story is sad too.

BR 2-16: The RUNAWAY PANCAKE

I read "The Runaway Pancake."
There was once a family with seven children, and they were always hungry. One day, their mother decided to make pancakes for breakfast. Then she poured the mix into a pan to cook. She tossed the first pancake, up in the air and down again. But the pancake didn't want to be eaten. It jumped right out of the pan and rolled out of the door. The pancake rolled out of the gate and into the road, faster and faster.

The pancake run about trying to escape. He becomes possible for them to eat by meeting various animals. It landed at the edge of a forest. By the forest was a pig in a pen. Now the pig wanted to eat the pancake too, but he was too clever to say so. "What's the hurry, Mr. Pancake?" he asked. "Let me walk through the dangerous place." The pancake looked into the forest. Maybe the pig was right. "Quickly!" he gasped. "Don't let them catch me!" "Who?" asked the pig. "THEM!" said the pancake. "The fox, the goat, the cat, the duck, the rabbit, the dog and all the family." The pig pretended not to hear it. The pancake jumped over the fence and into the pen. Then the pancake began to speak. But before he could shout any more, the pig snapped him up and swallowed him in one gulp...


I thought that I might do this if there were feelings also in food. I do not want to be able also to eat. Do you think so? My favorite line is the pancake said "I SAID, DON'T THEM CATCH ME!" (Mairi 2006 p.41) Feelings of the pancake have been transmitted. But final is very sad... I do not think the pig eat the pancake.

Please read this story.

They will go to the forest instead of father. First Ronald went to the forest. As he ate, a little man popped up beside him. “Please can you spare some food?” he asked. Ronald refused it. The next morning, Ronald had a shock. He itched all over. Second Donald went instead. All of a sudden, the little old man appeared. Then he asked same question too. “May U have a bit?” a little man asked. Donald confused too. Next morning, Donald had a shock, he is purple. Third, Billy went to the forest.

But as soon as she touched the goose, she stuck to it! Every girl stuck too. Billy woke up and got a shock. The next morning, Billy set off with his goose and the three girls.

Soon they came to a castle. A princess lived in this castle, and she never, ever smiled. But when she saw everyone, all running behind Billy and his goose. She started to smile. “At last!” cried the king. “Young man, would you like to marry my daughter?” “Yes please!” said Billy. The little old man appeared at the wedding. He waves his hands and everyone came un-stuck.

I thought that it should be kind to the person. Can you do kind to the person? I learned it for this book. My favorite line is “Thank you,” said the little man. (Mason 2008 p.23) I like “Thank you.” “Thank you” is very important. Don’t you think so? I want to value this word.

BR 2-10: Penguins

Penguins live in some of the coldest places on earth. But you can also find penguins on sunny beaches and on blue seas.

There are nearly twenty different kinds of penguins. Penguins might come in different sizes. Penguins are a kind of bird. Most birds can fly. Their wings are too small for flying. And their bodies are too small for fling. And their bodies are too heavy to get off the ground.

Underwater, hungry penguins hunt for food. They dart after fish, and sea creatures called krill. A penguin snaps up some krill in its sharp, pointy beak. He swallows it whole, in one big GULP!

Once a year, penguins leave the sea. They travel across land to the place where they were born. Penguins can't walk fast. They waddle along on their webbed feet. When they arrive, the penguins gather in huge groups called rookeries. These stretch as far as the eye can see. Rookeries are very noisy places.

They all get into penguin pairs. Then the female penguin lays eggs. Eggs must be kept warm, so the chicks inside can grow. The penguin chick is ready to come out. It pecks and pecks until the top of the egg comes off. At first, penguin chicks only have fluffy feathers. They can't swim or feed themselves. Penguin parents go to sea to find food. The chicks can't eat whole food yet. So penguin parents swallow down their food, then bring it back up as a thick paste and feed it to their chicks. Then the chicks waddle to the sea for the first time. They chase fish and catch some in their sharp beaks. They're ready to take care of themselves. For the next few years, the young penguins live far out at sea. There, they get into pairs and have a chick of their own.

My favorite line in the book is when says, "There, they get into pairs and have a chick of their own." (Bronte. 2009, p. 42 it reminds me how strongly our thoughts influence our bodies.

I could know about penguin by in this book. The most surprising bit of information about how to grow chick from "eggs, the chick climbs out, go to the sea, and catch the food." (2009, p.27)

Mrs. Cooper reached David before the ambulance did. He was lying in a strange position. He was lifted onto a stretcher and taken to hospital.

But, he could still shoot hoops, swim, wrestle with his friends and lift weights in the gym. He joined the Wheelchair Cowboys and played goal attack for the C team. David was praised at the coach, but David must do high practice.

David practiced shooting for hours. He pushed his wheelchair for miles, and lifted weights to build his arm muscles. He was determined that one day he would play for the A team. David got fitter, stronger, faster and more accurate with his shooting. He moved up to the B team.

David wanted a new chair badly, but he didn't like to ask his parents for one.

One day, Mr. and Mrs. Cooper watched David and Alex racing home from school. "That's not a wheel chair," laughed his dad. "Nah!" puffed David. "This wheelchair is as slow as a donkey with broken legs."
! I need a Zoomo really," said David. "Zoomos are sports chairs. They7re designed for speed. They're light but strong.

After few days, David and Alex went round the house to put out the rubbish. David's got tears in his eyes. There, in the middle of the path, was a brand new Zoomo Sports Chair. "Your parents are the greatest," said Alex. "Yeah," agreed David. "The greatest!"

A month later, David woke up early on Saturday morning. He showered quickly. He dressed quickly. He gulped his breakfast down.

"This is the best day of David's life. David's first game for the A team.

When David and Alex reached the gym gate, David raced round the corner too quickly. His wheels went off the path.

Crash!

He fell down.

Thump!

He landed hard. He lay still. His eyes stayed closed.
"David!" yelled Alex. "Not again!" He grabbed his friend's arm. "Wake up! Can you hear me?" There was no answer. Alex called to David again and again but David lay still. Then, David laughed. "I'm not hurt," he said. "I was just joking." Alex laughed, too.

He stood the wheelchair up and David climbed back into it. He grinned at Alex.



I gave courage at David. He was very strong! I recommend this book. Please read it.

I read "The Billy Goats Gruff". I'll tell you this story.
Main characters is three billy goats. Their each name is Beanie, Bertie and Biffer. Biffer was the oldest and Beanie was the youngest. They lived on a farm, in the shadow of a mountain. They were brothers and their last name was Gruff.
One winter, there was very little food on the farm. Then Biffer thought... they just have to cross the Rushing River. Beritie looked terrified, because that's where the Terrible Troll lives. "Don't be silly," Biffer said.

The Billy Goats Gruff spent a week preparing for their adventure. Then they learned to climb up hills skill. At last, the Billy Goats Gruff were ready to set off. All the other farm animals came to say goodbye. Bertie and Beanie were still dreaming of the Juicy Fields as they left the farm. Suddenly, the billy goatds stopped and listened. They strained their ears... and heard a thumping sound. But there is a only lop-eared rabbit. He names Buffy.

Meanwhile, Berite was wandering alone through the forest. He had lost Beanie in the mist and he didn't know which way to go. Beanie had been luckier. He had found the path that ran straight through the forest.

Next to the bridge was a big wooden sign. His hooves went clippety-clop, clippety-clop over the bridge. But as he reached the middle of the river... a large, green hand smashed through the wooden planks and grabbed Beanie's leg. Beanie's eyes bulged with terror. There, crouched under the bridge, was a fat and warty troll. "Please don't eat me," cried Beanie. Shaking with fear, Beanie wobbled off the bridge and went to hide in some bushes. "I hope bertie can save himself," he thouoght. Bertie arrived soon after and trotted onto the bridge-clappety-clop-bonk, clappety-clop-bonk. bertie peered over the bridge, and gulped. Troll is real hungry. At last, Biffer came out of the forest. When he spotted his brothers on the other side of the river, he raced to the bank. But Beanie and Bertie cried, "STOP! There's a troll under the bridge." It was too late. Biffer was already crossing. His heavy hooves went clunkety-clop, clunkety-clop and the bridge strained under his weight. Biffer lowered his head and caught the troll on his horns. The troll landed with an enormous SPLASH.

He sank under the water and was never seen again.
Now, at last, we're free.

BR 2-04: Hansel & Gretel

I read "Hansel & Gretel". Do you know this book? This story is famous. Please reading this bokk.

Hansel and Gretel heard their stepmother shout, "Dinner!" and came running. It was only a slice of bread, but they were starving. She thought "why did I marry a poor woodcutter?" Hansel and Gretel are so hungry. They can't sleep.

"The problem is," their stepmother was saying, "there's just not enough food for the four of us. The children will have to go." "What?" cried the poor wood cutter. "Do you have a better idea?" she sneered. The woodcutter fell silent. "Tomorrow, we"ll take hansel and Gretel deep in the forest," his wife continued, "and leave them there!"

Next day
They work up. They'er going on a lovely walk today. Hanzel squeezed Gretel's hand as they left the house, pretending they knew nothing. Stepmother didn't see him drop pebbles, one by one, behind him. The sad woodcutter walked on ahead, his head down and his shoulders hunched. "Perhaps the children should rest," said the stepmother finally. They were standing in a gloomy clearing. "You two sit here, while your father and I... um... cut some wood. "I'll make you a first," said the woodcutter.
A ghostly mist hung over the cleaming. Hansel warmed his hands by the fire.
They walked the shadowy forest.
Hansel and Gretele came back to their home. Stepmother snarled. Step mother forced Hansel and Gretel out of bed, gave them a slice of stale bread to share and marched them into the forest. Hansel's tummy was grumbling but he didn't eat his half of the bread. Instead, he crumbled it along the way to leave a second trail. Soon, the trees were so thick they vlocked out the sky. "Another lovely place for a rest," said their stepmother, cheerfully. The woodcutter sighed and made a fire. He couldn't bear to look at his children. They can follow the breadcrumbs home. But turned to see a blackbird pecking at a crumb.

Next morning
They just walk until they find the edge of the forest. All day they walked, past tall trees and spiky branches. Night fell and still they stumbled on.
At noon, they finally staggered into a clearing. There, in the distance, stood a little house. As the pair neared the house, a delicious smell wafted past. Freshly backed cakes! The walls were made from chunks of cake and the roof was glistening chocolate. "It looks scrumptious," she said, hardly believing her eyes. Even the windows smelled sweet. Hansel was tyring to bite off the toffee apple doorknocker, when the door flew open. "Aaaargh!" he yelled, as an old woman hobbled out. She was as wide as a barrel and uglier than a toad. Her bulging eyes fixed on the two children and she smiled, showing her rotten teeth. An old woman is welcome to Hansel and Gretel.

Hansel and Gretel couldn't believe their luck. In seconds, the kind woman laid out a magnificent meal for them.
Gretel wwoke up see sun streaming onto Hansel's bed. But Hansel wasn't there. "Your're just in time to help me cook," croaked the old woman, no longer smiling.
Gretel was confused. She went outside and heard her brother yelling from the shed. "Hansel! What's happened?" called Gretel. "That woman's a witch," he shouted. "She's trapped me with a spell. Now she wants to fatten me up... and eat me.

That evening, the witch hobbled over your finger," she shouted. "Show me how plump you are." She reached into the hatch and Hansel held up a twig. For days, she made poor Gretel cook enormous meals. Hansel ate every mouthful, but his twig finger never got any fatter. Hansel and gretel's plan was growing impatient. "Plump or skinny, I'm eating your brother tomorrow," she announced one evening.
By now, the witch was very annoyed. "My oven is buge," she said. "Look, even I can fit inside." And, with a puff and a pant, she clamberd in. Quick as flash, Gretel slammerd the oven doors shut. As the wicked witch frazzled in her own oven, her spell on the shed was broken.

Safe at last, Hansel and Gretel searched the witch's house for goodies. They took some jewels and a basket of snacks, than set off into the trees. Taking pity on Hansel and Gretel, the birds showed them the way home. The woodcutter was overjoined to see them. As for their stepmother- she wasn't there. She left his to live in a new brick house.

They are happy!

I want to live in cakehouse.

The main character is sprite. Sprite was on his way to a dog show at the local park. Sprite’s owner is Nick. Today, the dog show is held. When they arrived at the show, Nick put Sprite in an area with lots of other dogs. Sprite talks with other many dogs.
At last, the contest is about to start. Nick took Sprite to get ready. The first round was to find the best looking dog. One by one, the judges examined the dogs. They stroked their coats… looked in their ears… tapped their teeth… and peered at their paws. Sprite was footsore. Because his foot was stepped by a man before the show starts.
The next test was dog control. Sprite followed Nick’s commands to sit and stay. Then Nick called Sprite to his side. But Sprite could only hobble. His paw was too sore to run.
The final test was the obstacle course. After that, the test was done one after another. Suddenly the cup was stolen!! Sprite got a whiff of a smell he knew. It came from one of the judge. Sprite grabbed the man’s leg. Sprite won first prize for catching the thief.

Chapter 2
The main character is Titch. Titch wanted to be a top sheep dog like Bryn, his dad. Bryn had won lots of medals. But when Titch tried to round up sheep, things always went wrong.
One evening, Owen the shepherd took Titch and Bryn for a walk. “I’ll never be as good as you, Dad,” woofed Titch sadly. “You just need to work at it, son,” barked Bryn.
Just then, a thick fog began to float around them. Titch heard his dad’s voice from deep dark hole in ground. Owen was falling. Dad asked for help to Titch. Titch thought “Farmer Ellis lives nearby.” Mr. Ellis was in the farmyard. Titch rushed up to him, barking loudly. But Titch’s word is not understood to Mr. Ellis. Titch made the sheep free. The sheep ran noisily into the farmyard. Titch tried to remember all his dad’s tricks. Mr. Ellis ran behind.
They arrived at the hole in the ground. Mr. Ellis heard Bryn’s bark and looked down the hole. Mr. Ellis went for help and Owen and Bryn were rescued from the hole.

Chapter 3
Mr. Tike couldn’t afford to repair his dog’s home. So he was selling the creaking old building, along with his dogs. The dogs were sad to see Mr. Tike go. He’d rescued them and given them a safe home.
One day, two strangers arrived at Tike’s. “We want to buy your sweet little doggy home,” said Mrs. Hood. In the yard, the dogs rushed up to greet the visitors.
Two days later, the new owners took over. Mr. Tike had gone. The dogs thought that it had to go out of here. Then one in this dog gripped the keys. The dogs freed and they ran into the house. A scrapbook was on the table. “Hood and Wink are bank robbers.”
Just then, the dogs heard voices and ran into the yard. The dogs leapt onto Mr. Wink’s head, bit him on the bottom. Then grabbed Mrs. Hood’s necklace, teeth into her jacket… They are run away.
The dogs chased the crooks to the local police station. The police decided to give the reward money for catching Hood and Wink to Mr. Tike.
After that, Mr. Tike built a brand new one.
