Then he gave her the magic flowers. Then, she go backed to the usual, but the time wasn't pasted and she backed to usual size.

This story that the lazy gnome play the race  to the person, but the person do something to revenge. The lazy gnome loss every. It was interesting that the person do the revenge.

BR 1-13 The Emperor's New Clothes

This book based on the story by Hans Christain Andersen.

Once upon a time, there was an emperor who loved clothes. One day, two strangers appeared. They said, ” Our clothes can only be seen by clever people. Anyone who can't do their job properly won't be able to see them either.”  So, emperor, Boris and everyone who attended the royal procession couldn't say ” Can't to see the clothes.”

But, one boy said ” The emperor's got nothing on!” Then, everyone said ” The emperor is naked!”

This story is very famous. I have heard story certainly, but I didn't remember this story. I didn't know the plot. I read it afrerh, I think it is interesting story. This story is simple, but I like it. I like that everyone can't see the emperor's clothes, but they say ”I can see it” to don't wont be thought anyone ” You can't do your job.” 

Andersen have wrote Anne of Green Gables, FROZEN which become famous recently. I think I wont to read his stories more.

BR 1-15 Wizars

This book has 2 wizard's story.  

Long ago, lots of people believed in wizards. They thought there were good ones, who helped people... and bad ones, who cast evil spells. There are the stories of Zag, Mott and Pinchbeck, who were all kind wizards in their own way.



The first story is that... Zag was a wonderful wizard. He looked after children who had nowhere else to live. The children adored him. But they have little many. So, Zag teach the children how to juggle, clever jumping tricks, and acrobatics. Finally, the children put on a show for the villagers. It was a great success! The money save temporary, but run out the money early. So, they went to Wizard's house. He has money and gold. Then, children sprinkled " laughing powder all over him. And " Ha ha!" he cried and a huge laugh. And he said, " I haven't felt this happy for years. Tomorrow is Christmas Day!" Then, they had a good Christmas day with a lot foods.

This story finished happy. It was good that Zag and children became happy and Mervin became laugh. The tricks makes people happy. But the other story's trick was make people but. I think it is but that use trick to but things. If the tricks be in the world. The writing has good sense, because I easy to image this story. And its picture cute and like a Disney. It was the interesting book.
