BR 1-08: Pinocchio

Evangelista, M. (2004). Pinocchio. America: Usborne Publishing Ltd..

I read "Pinocchio". A wise cricket warns only good sons have a chance of becoming real boys. But, try as he might, Pinocchio the puppet just can't stay out of trouble. Treasure hunts, false friends and funfairs lead him for from his poor, lonely father.

I like Pinocchio because he is very cute. I have known Pinocchio since I was kindergartner. When Pinocchio tell a lie, his nose grows longer. So, I thought I don't have to tell a lie as a child. I believed my nose grow longer until I entered elementary school.

Oita


I went to Oita with soccer friend last Saturday. We played footsal with Oita's footsal teams. They have so high skills and I was taught a lot of things by them. For example, I was taught coordination between defense and defense and footsal's practice menu. The hardest thing is penalty game. If I lose a game or can't reach a goal, I pay penalties. I paid some penalties. Thanks to them, I feel like a strong person. I want to play footsal well more and more. After training, I stayed at footsal member house and I ate Gyorokke. Gyorokke is a special product of Oita Prefecture. Gyorokke made from ground fish. I want to eat it because it was so delicious. Then, I went to bed at 1a.m. and I woke up at 5 p.m. Then, I backed Kumamoto and I joined footsal matches. I spent busy days, but Oita tour became good experience for me. I want to go to Oita again.

I read "Stories of WITCHES". Here are three tales to bewitch. A witch who loses her broomstick, a witch who loses her temper and a witch who loves out to a clever farmer.

This story begins with a witch called Bass. She lost her broomstick. A man and his wife were walking. His wife walked behind him, carrying all their heavy bags. Then, she used magic rope and the wife turned into a house.

Next, the woman turned into a horse. The horse hadn't changed her too much. There was one difference which meant she couldn't carry the bags anymore. From then on, every time they went shopping, her husband had to do it.
