Guri and Gura's Seaside Adventure

I read "Guri and Gura's Seaside Adventure".

 
"If only we could swim," says Guri. "Yes, if only we could swim like that," says Gura. "You can!" says the Sea Giant." Just dive in and give it all you've got!"
 This is one of Guri and Gura's books in English. I loved  this series when I was a little child, so I chose this.

 One day, Guri and Gura was playing at the beach and found an old wine bottle. There were a letter from The Sea Giant, a map and two little swimming-tubes in it. They did't know who he was, but they were going to meet him.
 Just then, they saw someone waving at them. He was The Sea Giant! And they helped him and he taught them how to swim. 

 I did't know The Sea Giant was a human or not. The pictures of this book was very cute and I missed my childhood.

The Missing Shoes (Part 2)

I read "The Missing Shoes (Part 2)".  A girl, Sam, had lost her shoes. Her friends helped her to look for them, but they could not find them. She did not know what to do. So she sat on a bench with sadness. Then a dog came to run to her and the dog liked her. And the owner gave her shoes to her with a promise.  I thought their friends and the elderly woman were so kind and this story made me happy.   

TAXI OF TERROR

  I read "TAXI OF TERROR".  A man, Jack, was leaving his job for the new job. His co-workers gave him a mobile phone. He didn't have it, so he was happy. After the good-by party, he got in a taxi and he had slept as soon as he got in. Suddenly, a dangerous man with a gun got in the taxi. Jack was made to stay in the boot of the taxi. However, he could help the officers to arrest the man from there.

Rumpelstiltskin

I read   “Rumpelstiltskin” There was once a poor Miller who had a beautiful daughter. One day, he told an impossible lie to the King who loved money in order to be an essential person for the King . The lie was that his daughter could spin straw into gold. Therefore, she was taken to the castle and locked in the chamber. The King said ,“If you have not spun this straw into gold by an early hour to-morrow, you must die.” At that time, the Dwarf appeared and helped her by getting her necklace. So she wasn’t killed. And the next day, she was also helped by him by giving her ring. And the next day, she was also helped again by promising him to give her first-born child. So she got married to the King. But, when she gave birth to her first-born child, the Dwarf appeared again. I had never read this story before. I had thought that the Dwarf was a kind person, but he was horrible in the end.
