One day, fox set a trap and"Twang! went the trap."Rabbit said "Oh no!" "Got you!"  growled fox. "Now I'm going to eat you all up!" "Hurray!"  said rabbit.

He picked up rabbit and through the air.Rabbit laughed and escaped He said "I was born in the blackberry bush!"  Fox was deceived and couldn't get rabbit. But, I think actually they had good relationship.It looks like to me.

The chilly Little penguin

The stage of the story is South Pole. Recently, very humid in Kumamoto. I want to go there just now. There was a little penguin called Perry. He and his family lived at the South Pole.It was always cold. It is enviable for me. One day, he found a box. He saw yummy inside. What is it? According to him it seems too cold to eat. Somehow he wanted to warm up.  " I need to get warm, Grandpa," he said." Try skating,""That warm you up."  Grandpa said. He try to did it."He skated up and down and round and round. "Woooo!" "Wheeee!"  He look so happy. But, Grandpa asked  "Are you warm, now?" and Perry said "N...no," He was cold yet. Next, he asked his Grandma  "I need to get warm, Grandma"."Try swimming,"  said Grandma.  "Okay"  he said and dived into the water.  "He swam up and down and round and round".  However he was cold yet.At last, He asked his sister

The Little Giraffe

The little giraffe was the first giraffe in the world. This book written about the process the little giraffe became a giraffe which we know. He lived in Africa with his best friend rhino. They were hungry because there was no food anywhere from earth was dry. So they went to see the wise man and said "We're hungry.""Please can you help?".  He said  "Come back tomorrow,"  "I'll make a magic drink for you.".  The next day, the little giraffe came back the house of wise man. But, rhino don't visited him. The little giraffe began to drink. Then, "He grew taller and taller" and the wise man said  "Now you can reach the leaves high in the trees," Therefore he could eat leafs on the  tree because of got long neck and long foots. In this way, the giraffe got present figure.While Rhino, don't visited the wise man, still now eat the dead grass as it is.So  "He's angry today." I understand

THE STONECUTTER

He is earnest. I like him.He cut stone all day long. A mountain spirit watched him. He fulfilled his wishes. At first, stone cutter wish "I wish I was rich!"  then, " the mountain spirit smiled...and the stone cutter was rich." Next to that he said "Whew, it's hot. I wish I was the sun,".  He was changed to the sun. He was changed as his planned one after another. At last, when he changed to mountain, he was cut by another stone cutter.He said "Ouch! I was a stone cutter." After all he back to stone cutter. This book taught us to importance of valuing the current situation and it is not good to ask too much.

Stone Soup

He is very cunning man. He said  "I can make soup from a stone" but,It is lie.He dropped stone into the water and tasted it "Mmm.yummy!"and "An onion would make it better," Like this ,He made the woman add some ingredient. Soup was complete!But,not for stone. She didn't notice the fact. So she said him "Stay for supper," She was successfully deceived.Though she made the soup herself.

The Tortoise and the eagle

He lived a plivileged life. " But he wasn't happy."  He want to fly like eagles.He try to something, "He climbed onto a rock...jumped into the air...and flopped onto his belly." and "He climbed up a tree jumped into the air...and landed splat in a puddle." So,he called and asked "Will you take me into the sky? I want to be like you." He promised the eagle give his log and apples as substitute. He could fly! but when he  looked at the ground. He felt dizzy. "Eagle,""I don't like up here."and"please take me back!" So The Eagle took the Tortoise back to the ground and said  "You have no feathers and no wings.""You're not made for flying." and he went,leave Tortoise's log and apples. I think he may said Don't be so unreasonably ambitious.

The Baobab tree

I had heard about Baobab tree in  "The little prince". I think the gots were nasty,because they made only other trees with flour or fruit. Baobab said "Why don't have flours?"and"I want fruit," but, they didn't answer. Though they made  a talking tree themselves, they got angry. It is absurd. At last,Baobab was grabbed and turned upside down. Baobab was noisy but poor tree. I think maybe this story is moral that we sometimes we suffer from own invention.

There was A crooked Man

In the book, everything crooked.  One day,The crooked man found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile. He used the crooked sixpence to bought a crooked cat. He lived a little crooked house.The crooked man cooked a crooked fish when he was hungry. His crooked cat smell and snatched it. "The crooked man was angry" and "He chased His cat outside" He traced smell of the fish "So he followed where it led....across his crooked garden..." He found some kitten. "There were thirteen hungry kittens......and their kind but crooked mother." I think this expression is interesting!

The Boy who cried Wolf

I know the story. Som took the sheep from the village everyday. He watched them from morning until evening. He was lonely and SO bored because everyday was the same. "Same old mountains,same old trees..."  he thought. He tried to talking to the sheep. But they didn't have much to say. Then, he had an idea.I think the idea is not so good. The idea is to deceive villagers to say  "Help, help!, A wolf!" "A wolf  has come out of the forest!" Everyone ran up hill with him.Of course there are no wolf. The villeggers got angry. But he did again and again. He wasn't belief anyone.

The Gingerbread Man

He shold follow a little old man and a little old woman. He was made by a little old woman because woman and man had no children,they want to some substitute as their child. But, he escaped from them,and sang  "Run run, as fast as you can You can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man!" He look good! Everyone who met on the way, said " Stop! come here !""I want to eat you." He came to river. He wanted to cross it, but  he couldn't swim. Then, a fox saw him and said "I'll take you across," so, a fox invite him to fox's nose. At last, he was eaten by a fox. It is a moral story.

The Old Women who swallowed a Fly

This  story is very strange. First, A old women swallowed a fly by accident. I think she should go to a hospital instantly. But, she didn't. Next to that, she swallowed a spider to catch the fly. "Perhaps she'll die."  I thought so too. So,she swallowed a bird to catch the spider. "How absurd, to swallowed a  bird!"  That's right...She swallowed some animals one after another. She swallowed, a cat to catch the bird, a dog to catch the cat, a goat to catch the dog, a cow to catch the goat.Her stomach was expanded. After all she swallowed a horse to catch the cow. Thus, She is dead.  "She's dead, of course!".  I wonder why she isn't dead earlier.

The Old Woman who lived in a Shoe

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe. She had many children...she didn't know what to do. "This shoe is too full,"said the woman, one day."We must get another I'll look right away." Her shoe is full because she has many children. So she want to another shoe. She went to shoes shop. But any shoes are too small to live. Then she found a crying giant. She asked why he is crying, a small prickle is stick his planta pedis. She helped him. "Thanks! "said the giant." Now,can I help you?""Well," said the woman, "I would like your shoe." He gave his shoe for her.Thus, she and her family lived more comfortably.

Chicken Licken

Chicken Licken scared everything. he is very cute chick. One day, he was sitting under the tree, acorn fell on his head. He surprised and misunderstood "The sky is falling!". I think he is very stupid. He said a hen, a rooster, a duck,a barn and a turkey to it. They thought that have to say to the king. They ran through the field. I think they have pure heart,If not so, don't believe it. They met a  fox and Chicken Licken said it, but, a fox didn't think so. Thus, he betray and led them into his hole. If I'm a fox, I did so. Then, acorn fell on a fox's head, he did't see it.All he could see was sky.  He misunderstood the sky is falling. He ran down the tunnel. They noticed the sky isn't falling. The thing which fell on his head is a acorn. I think that before to say to King was enough.

Martina the cockroach

Martina is a pretty cockroach. One day she found a gold coin. "What should she buy? Should she buy shoes? Should she buy candy?" "No, I will buy perfume," she said.  She bought perfume and put it on. Then she fixed her hair and put on a pretty dress. She looked and smelled great! She was ready to get married.  But, she didn't want to noisy husband. First, she was said "marry me" from a cat. Then she asked "What sound do you make?" He said "Meow meow!". She don't like it. Second, she met a rooster, he said "marry me!". But, his sound is very noisy. She don't like it,"No, thank you," she said.Third, a flog. Forth a dog. She don't like anyone. Last, a mouse came and said "Marry me!". Then she asked same question, His sound is "kee kee". She loved it . She married him.And they live together happily.

Clever Rabbit and the Wolves

 The rabbit is clever. When he was trapped  by wolves and in the middle of a ring of wolves. They said "Mmm!Dinner!" But clever rabbit said"Wait!"and "Don't you want to see my dance?" Little wolf was interested in his suggest. Clever rabbit tapped his foot and started to sang song, "La-la-la! Tum-tum-tum!" "Stamp your foot on the world la. Copy me." Then, All the wolves stomped their feet.  And they danced fiercely,turned around and around. During they danced, he danced into the long grass. When they noticed escaping of the rabbit, they were too dizzy to chase him. I don't think he is clever. I think wolves too stupid.
