"Would You Be A Bee?"

"You could buzz around in the sky, but you would have to share your home with many other bees."
 "You could sip nectar from hundreds of flowers, but you would have to carry back lots of pollen."

This story explains the life of bees, with a lot of pictures. And, this also introduce about how the bees hatch from an egg. It made me a little sad to read that even if bees work hard to build a beehive, in the end it will be destroyed by people and replaced with various products.


At the end of the story, there was a question "Would you be a bee?" 
When I first saw the title, I wanted to be a bee, but through this book I learned about the difficulty of living for bees and now I know I never want to be.

"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.

“Snow-White and Rose Red”

”A poor widow once lived in a little cottage. In front of the cottage was a garden, in which were growing two rose trees; one of these bore white roses, and the other red.” I also read “Snow-White and Rose Red”. The main characters of this story are two girls. One name is Snow-White and the other is Rose-Red. One day, a dear came into their house suddenly. The children were astonished, but their mother didn’t. She told them that the bear won’t do nothing wrong, and that was correct. The bear and children soon became friends and had a good time. 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. Children ran away from the bear, but were stopped by a well-known voice. The bear appro
