Marco

Marco was not frightened now. He felt angry. 'Stop!' he shouted. But the girl did not stop. She kept running and Marco followed her.
On Friday afternoon, Marco was on the farm as usual and helped his father's work.
They worked together, but he never talked much with his father.
Marco was tired of his daily life and there was nothing to do, so he decided to get on the train to the city on Saturday morning. Nobody knew his plan.
Marco got up early and he tried to get on the train, but he had little money.
Although a man sold tickets for the train, Marco hid behind a fence at the end of the platform. When the train arrived at the station, Marco jumped over the fence and got on the train secretly, without paying a fare.
At a city, he met a girl, who had blonde hair and green eyes. She was beautiful but looked very dirty. She said "I'm hungry. Let's share a cake." He didn’t have enough money, but he was also hungry and he thought "if we get some money together, I can buy it and I can fill my stomach." 
Marco gave the girl his money and he waited outside the shop. She took it and went into the shop. A minute passed. Suddenly, she went through the side door in a hurry, and the girl ran away from Marco with a big cake.
The cake and his money was stolen by her! What should he do?

Marco was the man who longed for the city but he had a bad experience in the city, so I felt sorry for him. However, I don't like him because he has a bad attitude and he is not honest. After you read this book, can you get to like him?

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

イメージ
Once upon a time there were three Bears: a Little Wee Bear, a Middle-sized Bear, and a Great Big Bear, who lived together in a house of their own, in a wood. Each of them had their own bowls, chairs and beds.  One day, after they cooked the porridge for breakfast, and poured it into their porridge-bowls, they walked out into the wood to cool the porridge so that they may not burn on their mouths. Then, a little girl called Goldilocks, who was not well-brought-up, opened the door and entered the bears house arbitrarily. She saw the porridge on the table and she set about helping herself. First, she tried to eat the porridge of the Great Big Bear, but it was too hot for her. Also, the porridge of the Middle-sized Bear was too cold for her to eat it. Last, she found that the porridge of the Little Wee Bear was just right for her and she ate it all up. After a meal, she was so tired that she wanted to sit down in a chair. Just like when she ate porridge, chairs of Middle-sized and Great Bi

The Fairy

 "You are so pretty, so good and courteous, that I cannot help giving you a gift."  Once upon a time there was a widow, who had two daughters. The elder was so disagreeable and so proud, and the younger was kind, polite, and one of the most beautiful girls. The mother disliked the younger and made her work continually. One day, when the younger had to draw water and was at the fountain, she met a poor woman, who asked her for drink. The younger was very kind and she willingly gave it to the poor woman. The poor woman thanked to her and she gave the younger a special gift. It was that either a flower or a jewel came out of her mouth every time she spoke.  When the younger got  back to her mother and talked to her, there came out of her mouth two roses, two pearls, and two large diamonds. The mother was very surprised and heard the reason why it was going to be like that. The mother understood the situation and she tried to get the elder to do the same. However, this is the beg
