The Laughing Princess

-
The king had mud on his clothes.
He had the teeth on the cushion.
He looked so funny that the princess laughed and laughed.
The king looked at the princess.
"I've made the princess laugh," he said.
Everyone laughed and cheered.
     The magic key began to glow.
The magic took the children home. But nobody saw the children go.
Everyone is laughing.
     "What made the princess laugh?" asked Kipper.
"I don't know, said Chip, "but people laugh at silly things.

The last sentence was interesting.
 The princess laughed with the dirty clothes of the king and the appearance of
putting teeth on the cushion.
 The children did not know that, but they said that they laughed at being silly.
I think it is a painful word.

London by JOHN ESCOTT

 This week I read London by John Escott. It describes the history of London, the famous building, and the royal family.  As I read on, I wanted to go to London. Here are some things that interest me. The first is the Great Fire of London. A pandemic in London in 1665 killed more than 100,000 people. The following year, in 1666, the Great Fire of London broke out. At that time, most of the houses were made of wood, so the city was burned down. The fire did not go out for four days. Most of the old buildings were destroyed. I didn't know this big incident. London, which is now one of the most famous cities in the world, suffered such damage about 350 years ago. I think it was difficult to build the current magnificent buildings and cityscape from there.  Next is the national portrait gallery. It's located in St Martin, where you can see pictures of famous people. There are pictures of world-famous figures such as kings, queens, and William Shakespeare. I want to see it. I will be

The Tickets

Title:The Tickets FRL 16pages This is the story about misunderstanding. Jimmy who sees Jenny's ticket in Kerry's purse gets angry with Kerry. Jimmy says, "But you're not a good friend"(p. 14)  Kerry was going to return the ticket to Jenny. Jimmy suspected Kerry,and doubted too. I think it is not good to doubt without knowing anything. I believe it is important to trust each other in order to keep a good relationship.

ONE-WAY TICKET SHORT STORIES by Jennifer Bassett

      This week I read "One-Way Ticket" by Jennifer Bassett.   There are several short stories in this book, and I will introduce one of them.  "The Girl with Green Eyes" describes what passengers talk about on the train.   There were seven people in the carriage. There was the man in the brown hat; the young man and his wife, Julie; a mother and two children; and a tall dark man in an expensive suit.  There are many expressions about the eyes in this story. The conversations of the passengers were normal and not particularly interesting, but the explanation of the eyes made it interesting to see what they were thinking. I quote one sentence. These are the words that the mothers of the children in this story said. ‘People don’t always need words, young man,’ This word was very impressive. I recommend this book. The reason is that different readers enjoy this story differently. I enjoyed the depiction of the eyes, but others may enjoy their conversation. Please read
