”The Fairy"

"Once upon a time there was a widow who had two daughters. The elder was so much like her, both in looks and character, that whoever saw the daughter saw the mother. They were both so disagreeable and so proud that there was no living with them. "
I read “The Fairy”.
The main character of this story is one girl. One day, she was asked to give water by woman and did it. Then, the women gave her a great gift. The girl’s mother hope that the incident occurred again and sent her another girl, but she got a bad gift. Mother  got angry and got her daughter out of the house. The girl who was kicked out was found and loved by the King’s son, and married him.

I've noticed that too much profit-seeking can be a bad thing in reverse. I think this is true in reality as well. I would like to think that not only profit but also disadvantage will lead to my growth.

"The History of the Football"

イメージ
"These days most people have a football to play with." "In the old days there were no real footballs." "Stones do not make very good footballs." The book, as the title suggests, is about the history of football. I was surprised by the fact that they used to play football with the bladder of a pig. Then I learned that various innovations were made to make the ball what it is today. If you're a football player, you should read this book. I like watching soccer games, but I didn't know the history of soccer. And I was very surprised by the fact that people played soccer using the bladder of a pig. At first I thought it was a little bit harsh, but considering that football wouldn't have been created today without it, I thought it was amazing who came up with it.

But one day, the bear left the house to protect treasures from the bad dwarfs. One day, the children came across a dwarf in the forest. And it was not once, but several times. Every time they came across dwarfs, they helped them. On their way home, they met a dwarf again. The children and the dwarf came across a big black bear. The dwarf was kicked and dead.
