"Billy's Baby"

"Billy had a new baby sister. All she did was cry... drink milk... and sleep. Billy's mum had to look after her all the time. Billy was not happy."
 Billy is tired of his mother taking care of the baby all the time, so he goes to a friend's house. The friend's house also had a baby, and the baby made them laugh by throwing
beans that were for lunch. And Billy begins to look forward to watching his baby grow up.

I was glad the main character's friend also had a baby at her house. I knew he would be a good big brother because by the end he was looking forward to the baby growing up.

"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
