Main character were three dragons and a good knight. One night a good knight heard very large roar. So he went to forest, and he saw a little dragon. He wanted water to drink, so he brought him a glass of water. And a little dragon went to bed. When a good knight came back to his kingdom, he heard very larger roar than before. So he went to forest again. And then he saw another little dragon, and she asked him to tell a story. Also a dragon, he saw some time ago, asked him water to drink. So a good knight read a story and brought a glass of water, and they went to bed. So he came back to kingdom again, but he heard a very very large roar than before, so he went to forest again! And he saw three little dragons. He asked them, 'what do they want? A glass of water? Another story? Or what?' And they answered. 'We need kiss for good night!' Good knight kissed them, and they slept tight. A good knight came back to his kingdom, and he also slept well.

BR 2-15: Bugs, Beetles, and Butterflies

I don't have any reason why I chose this book. It was by accident.

This book was about bugs, beetles, and butterflies. Do you know about bugs? There are many bugs! Pretty bugs, and not pretty bugs. Some bugs can swim, but most bugs fly, and also some bugs bite us! Fat bugs, and thin bags. Some bugs have bad smell; If you watch bugs when they eat other bugs, you may feel sad. But it's natural things. Next is beetles. There are also many kinds of beetles. Some beetles eat mice!!! It's amazing! Last is butterflies. Butterflies are colorful! You know, butterflies make big change when they grow up. Butterflies are cute, but it's not cute in childhood.

I don't like bugs and beetles, but I was able to know about them by reading this book. It was good thing! I can't Japanese books about bugs and beetles, so it was good experience to know them.

And after Mr. Bell ate cake, it was time for answer. 1000, 200, 150... there were many many answers, and last paper was '154.' Correct answer was 154, so Robert who wrote 154 was the winner!

BR 2-04: The Magic Porridge Pot

I read this book. I chose it because it looked easy to read, and the book cover was cute!

First I'll talk about the story of this book. Main character was a little girl and her mother. They were poor and they didn't have money for food, and then a cracker was the last food. One day the little girl went out, and then she met a man. He said that he wanted something to eat. So she gave him her cracker. He appreciated her, and he gave some present to her! That was a magic pot. "If you say magic words, 'little pot, cook!’ you can get something to eat, and you say 'little pot, stop!’ the pot stop making foods." The man said like that. So the little girl went home and said that spell. "Little pot, cook!" Then the magic pot started making foods!!! The little girl and her mother ate fully. And then she said, "Little pot, stop!” the pot stopped making. This was a true magic pot! One day the little girl went out, and her mother wanted to make something to eat. She didn't call her daughter, and she said wrong words. So the magic pot didn't make anything, but she said magic words again, and it was correct words so the magic pot made foods! She ate until she was full up. After eating she wanted the magic pot to stop making foods, so she said magic words! But the magic words were wrong!!! She said many words, but every words were wrong. While she said magic words, the magic pot kept making and making and making... And porridge which the pot made was full of house, and went out to the town! Then her daughter, the little girl went home. She understood what happened. So she said, "Little pot, stop!" At length the pot stopped making foods. After that, people lived in this town went out with spoon, and they ate porridge.

This was interesting story, but at first I felt the kindness of the little girl. The cracker she gave to a man was her last food, but she gave him readily! It was great thing, I thought. If I'm the little girl, I may give him my last cracker. She was great and kind. Her kindness was a good example for me to follow. And also I thought that the magic pot stopped making. If the little girl didn't say that magic words and the magic pot didn't stop making, probably porridge was full of the earth!!!! It's not good, don't you think so?

MR 2-01: Important Things That She Taught Me

I watched 'Mrs. Doubtfire.' This movie was so interesting! I enjoyed watching it. And this movie taught me three important things: Love, marriage, and happiness. So I'll talk to you about what I felt from this movie.

First, I'll talk about love. I thought that there were many loves in this movie. Daniel loved his children, and Miranda also did. Children loved their parents. Daniel and Miranda also loved their works. And because of love, Daniel played Mrs. Doubtfire. However their loves caused many troubles. Love doesn't always make us happy. However the feeling what we think about someone is very important things.

Next is about marriage. I think that we can't marriage only we love each other. At first love is need, but of course we need money. Also our family members increase if we get baby. Miranda said, "Well, at first, nothing. He was so... romantic, so passionate." "It was Daniel's spontaneity and energy I fell in love with. Everyone else I knew was so organized, so scheduled. But Daniel was so wonderfully different, and funny. He could always make me laugh. But after a few years, everything just stopped being funny. I was working all the time, and he was always between jobs. I hardly ever got to see the kids." This words expressed important things, I thought. We can't marriage only love! Daniel and Miranda loved each other, I thought, but they divorced. Marriage is difficult!

Finally, I wanna talk about happiness of family. It is the most impressive thing for me. If I make this movie, I don't select the ending like this movie. A happy ending usually finished after they reconcile, and sometimes they kiss. However this movie was different. We were able to find new shape of love. Mrs. Doubtfire said, "You know, some parents get along much better when they don't live together. They don't fight all the time and they can become better people. Much better mommies and daddies for you. And sometimes they get back together. And sometimes they don't, dear. And if they don't, don't blame yourself. Just because they don't love each other doesn't mean that they don't love you. There are all sorts of different families, Katie.", and "But if there's love, dear those are the ties that bind. And you'll have a family in your heart for ever." This movie is positive about divorce. Divorce is not only end but also it's the beginning of new sort of family. It is not happy only to live together. Each family have the sort of their happiness.

This movie was a comedy! We were able to laugh many times. However it was also serious movie, and there were many important things. Daniel gave me a lot of happiness! Probably you feel something important if you watch this movie! I liked Mrs. Doubtfire!!!!! I want to think about love, marriage, and happiness of family. And I hope that I can make the happiest family in the future.
