Superdog

           "he thought. "I don't want to be the Dog of the Year, and I'm not Superdog. I'm just me. I'm just a floppy old dog who wants a bit of peace.""

Today, I watched Superdog. This book was written by Roderick Hunt and Alex Brychta.
There was Floppy who was a dog. Floppy lived with a family. The family had three children. They watched the "Dog of the Year Show" on television. The dogs which appeared on television were very clever. Then, children tried to let flappy do some of the things they saw on television. However, floppy was old and he didn't want to do that. A child said "What a bad dog you are, Floppy"
After that, floppy went to sleep. he had a pleasant dream. In the dream, he helped a lot of people. For example, he ran after a thief and caught the thief. People who were in his dream called Floppy "Hero". When floppy woke up, he was get angry by a child. Floppy wanted children to notice his good point. At the end, Floppy ran off. I thought that the children should worry about Floppy. Floppy didn't want to do, so children should stop doing practice of the Dog of the Year course.

Why the Sea is Salty

            "As for the thief, he had to swim home - where an angry King was waiting for him."


Today, I read Why the Sea is Salty. This book is a tale from Korea. I choose this book because I wonder why the sea is salty. This book was interesting.
Long ago, the sea wasn't salty like it is today. The sea became salty because of a magic millstone. The millstone could make gold, jewels and special spices.
One day, a thief heard about the magic millstone. He wanted to get the millstone. Then the thief stealed into King's palace and he was able to get the millstone. He ran away as fast as he could. He leaped into a boat and sailed away. Out at sea, when the thief cast a spell, the millstone began to turn. He ate a lot of food which the millstone makes. Then, he want salt to put on his bun. He was able to take out some salt and he ate a lot of food, so he was satisfied. He began to sleep, but the millstone kept turning. When the thief woke up, the boat began to sink. The boat sank to the bottom of the ocean with the magic millstone. That's why, the sea is salty today. I was able to understand thanks to this book why the sea is salty. I think that if someone steals something from somebody, the person will purnished by Heaven. That is why, I mustn't do something bad.

About Europe

I'm going to introduce France. France is located in western Europe. Almost people who live there speak French. France is famous for wine, cheese, French bread and so on. Paris is a capital of France. Paris is called "Paris, the magnificent beautiful". I like French cuisine, so I want to go there and I want to enjoy having meal! I have study French for a year, so I'm able to speak French a little.

France is also famous for sightseeing. For example, the Eiffel Tower is the most popular tourist spot. In addition, a triumphal arch is also popular. There is a street called "Champs Elysees" near the triumphal arch. That place is very beautiful, especially in winter. If I can go to France now, I want to go to Disney Land in Paris. Only France has Disney Land in Europe.
As I have said, France has a lot of good points. However, that place also has bad points. For example, in tourist spot, a lot of tourist are aimed by pickpockets. That is why, we must take care!!
