BR 1-05: The Lucky Whale

I read 'The Lucky Whale', so I introduce the book this time.

One day, Troy and Roy discovered a whale on the beach. The whale couldn't move on there. Two sons told their parents about that, and their father ran outside. "We need help," he said, "If we don't get help, the whale will die".

Two sons and their parents wanted to help the whale, but it was too big for their. So their mother said that she will get some people to join us. And two sons ran to get the buckets and spades, their father ran down to the beach.

The whale was very hot, so father and sons put the water on the whale for lower temperature. Then mother came to the beach with a lot of people. Everyone had buckets and spades, so they dug a trench. Because they had to lower the whale's body temperature, and keep cool.

Then everyone heard a noise. The noise was Jim's digger. Jim dug a trench with his digger and the water flowed into the trench! So the whale's body temperature went down.

Next, father put the big rope around the whale's tail, and Jim's digger pulled it. Then the whale could go back in the sea. Everyone saw the whale off. The whale seemed to be happy.

YL of this book was 0.6, so it was written in easy English and very easy to read.

I have watched a news that a whale was thrown on the beach few times. I like whale, but I probably can't approach it. Because a whale is too big, so I am going to feel that it is scary. I thought two boys and their parents are very brave! And I thought the story warms my heart.
