Fancy NANCY and the Too-Loose Tooth


 I read "Fancy NANCY and the Too-Loose Tooth".

 Nancy and her friend were swinging on the monkey bars. And then her friend banged into a bar. Because of this, he lost a tooth which had been loose. 

 After that, they went to the nurse. He got a a white plastic tooth on a chain. She longed for a tooth necklace too. But she only get one if her tooth falls out at school. So, she tried to fall her tooth out at school. However, when she sneeze...


I thought she was so pretty. This book remembered me my childhood. I was also excited when I lost a tooth for the first time.

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.
