Thumper's Sore Paw

  Today I read "Thumper's Sore Paw".
"I will take you to the vet," said Igor. "He will look at your sore paw. Get in the car, Thumper."(P.P.4-5)


It is easy for me to read it. In this story, Igor was so worried about his dog, Thumper. He hit his paw. He must have gone to the vet. Igor took him to there. The vet could fix his paw. They was glad. I can see that they love each other. I want them to get along with forever... If it can be that, I would be glad.

When I Looked Out of My Window

Today I read "When I Looked Out of My Window". It is easy for me to read it.
Whin I looked out of my window, I sawー, I got myー.
(P8~P10)

In this book, a girl looks out of her window, and she imitates everything things which she looked. She imitates even thing cat. She may admire the world out of window. It may be beautiful for her that there is the world which she looked.  Exactly, if I were, I would do such a thing. But I think it is not but thing. To imitate another people is good things!

The Three Little Pigs

  Today, I read "The Three Little Pigs".
The third little pig built a cozy house of bricks. He invited the two other pigs to live with him. (p. 10)


   There are some words which I did't know, but I can read it to use my dictionary, because I know the story. I have read in Japanese when I was a child. The 1st pig and 2nd pig built easy houses, however 3rd pig worked so hard to built strong house of bricks. I think he was clever and kind. He welcomes to 2 pigs in his strong house. 2 pigs can be alive, thanks to 3rd pig. I'm sure 3 pigs live comfortably...
