Lost at Sea

She says a storm is coming. (p.7)

I read "Lost at Sea".
I thought that it is bad to become addicated to anything. Because of that, they made a big mistake.
But I think that they are amazing, because they were able to spent the whole night at desert island.


Tyler, Daniela, and their eriends take their boat out for the day to swim near an island. The weather suddenly becomes worse and they are trapped at sea without their engine as night falls. What are they going to do?

Aesop's Fables

These stories were first told so long ago, no one knows who really wrote them. (p.3)

I'm going to introduce Aesop's Fables. This book was written by Watson, C. It consists of eight stories. I read chapter 4: The fox and the stork and chapter 8: The lion and the mouse.

The moral of chapter 4 is "Play mean tricks on people and they may play them back on you."

And the moral of chapter 8 is "Little friends can be great friends."

I think these stories are useful in education of children.
