BR 1-25 The Clumsy Crocodile

Everglades(P,3)




I was read this book first time. Cassy was on her way to work. It was the very first day of her job. She was going to work at Everglades, the biggest and best store in town. It sold things you just couldn't buy anywhere else. So, when Cassy got a job there, she was as pleased as punch. First, Cassy was sent to work in the China Department. After only ten minutes, she had sold sixty cups and saucers to a very rich laby. She was doing well. Cassy packed the china carefully into a box. She was as gentle as a crocodile can be, but maybe just a little slow. The laby began to get impatient. Cassy quickly tied a big bow on the bow. She didn't want the laby to be cross, not her very first customer. But as Cassy picked up the box, disaster struck! She'd packed it upside down. Sixty cups and saucers smashed onto the floor. The customer stamped her foot angrilu and left. Next Cassy was sent to the Toy Department. She hoped there was less to break. She didn't want any more accidents. "I must put this ball away." she thought. "Someone could trip over it and have a bad fall." But as she bent down, her tail swung out behind her. The Toytown Express was knocked right off its rails.


I was read this book first time. I thought this story is very funny. I want to read many books after this.

BR 1-24 The Story of Rome

Life in Rome(P.34)




I was read this book first time. The city of Rome, in Italy, is over two thousand years old, and its beginning is cloaked in mystery. According to myth, it all started with twin brothers - Romulus and Remus. The twins were royal babies. Their mother was a glamorous princess and their father was Mars, the god of war. They should have inherited a kingdom from their grandfather, King Numitor, and lived happily ever after. But king Numitor's brother, Amulius, had banished him and stolen the crown. And Amulius didn't want any rivals... "Take those brats to the River Tider and drown them, " he ordered a slave. But the slave took pity on them and sent the river in a basket. After a while, the basket washed ashore. A wolf heard the boys crying and went to look.  Perhaps she thought they were cubs, because she fed and cared for them as if they were her own habies. Soon after this, a shepherd named Faustulus sotted the boys. Faustulus and his wife longed for children. " I'll rescue them, and we can bring them up as our own sons," he decided. Romulus and Remus grew up big, strong and always ready for a flight. They become shepherds like Faustulus, spending each day in the hills. One day, Remus got into a brawl with some rival shepherds, who dragged him before a local judge.

I was read this book first time. Rome is big city in the world. I want to go in Rome. i want to read many books after this.

The lion and the mouse(P.53)




I was read this book first time. One day, the hare was boasting about how amazingly fast he could run. His friends just yawned. They'd heard it all before. The hare started to pick on the old tortoise. "You're slow, I'm surprised you ever get anywhere," he teased. "I may be slow," replied the tortoise, "but I bet I can reach the end of this field before you." "Hooray, a challenge!" whooped the hare. "Come on everyone. Watch me win!" The other animals gathered around as the hare and the tortoise lined up to start. "Ready, steady, go!" shouted the badger. everyone cheered as the hare raced off, leaving the tortoise far behind. the tortoise wasn't bothered. She plodded along at her own speed. Halfway across the field, the hare looked back over his shoulder. "That old tortoise will take all day," he thought. "I might as well have a little rest." Soon he had fallen fast asleep in the warm sunshine. Several hours later, the hare woke up in a panic. In the distance, he could see the tortoise about to cross the finishing line. He can as fast as he could, but it was too late. The tortoise had won. One hot summer, a thirsty crow was searching for something to drink. It hadn't rained for weeks and he was beginning to give up hope. Then in the distance ha spied a pot on someone's windowsill. He flew over to take a closer look. he could see water, but he couldn't reach it. Now he felt even more thirsty.

BR 1-22 The Story of Trains

New challenge(P.28)




I was read this book first time. Hundreds of years ago, it was hard to travel from place to place. Most people walked or rode on horses. If they needed to go a long way - as far as the next town or beyond - they took a carriage. But taking a carriage was dangerous. The roads were full of highwaymen, lying in wait to attack. Every passenger rode in fear of the dreaded words, "Your money or your life!" Merchants didn't risk carriages. They used barges and sent their goods by canals. The problem with barges was their speed. It was s...l...o...w... Some took weeks to travel from one city to the next. "We need a fast, cheap and safe way to travel!" people cried. And then they thought, "Tracks!" Since Roman times, every cart driver knew his cart ran more smoothly if it followed the tracks made by other carts. But horses were pulling very heavy loads. Even using the tracks, it was hard to pull a wagon full of coal or iron. Then, one day, a group of coal miners had a great idea. "What about building iron rails for our wagons to run on?" The rails were a huge success. But now the horses had to walk on rails and that was tricky. What was needed was an engine... In 1712, an English blacksmith invented one. It worked using steam, only it couldn't pull a wagon so it didn't help much. Almost a hundred years later, Richard Trevithick had the answer. Excitedly, he attached his engine to five wagons full of people.
