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.

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.

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.
