BR 2-04: Mr. Putter & Tabby Take the Train


I read “Mr. Putter & Tabby Take the Train” I thought the book’s illustrations were so cute, so I chose it. The book had three paragraphs. First was “An Idea”, second was “Another Idea” and third was “Taking the Train”. The book was written in easy English, so it was easy to read for me. But I couldn’t understand meaning of “binoculars”. I consulted a dictionary for the meaning. “Binoculars” meaning was Sougankyou(双眼鏡). I learned!!

One day, Mr. Putter and his cat, Tabby was cooking as he phoned Mrs. Teaberry. Mrs. Teaberry was old woman and his friend. She also had a pet. Her pet was dog, name was Zeke. Tabby and Zeke were friends, too.

Mrs. Teaberry said Mr. Putter “I think we should take a train!” She always thinks of strange things. But this idea was proper! And also, he liked a train, so he decided to rise to the bait. Then he asked her if pets could take the train. She said “Of course!”

Mr. Putter, Mrs. Teaberry and their pets went to the station. They were happy! But the ticket woman said that their pets couldn’t take a train. Mrs. Teaberry was very surprised!! And she said “WHAT!?”

They went home, but one hour later, they came back the station. And they bought two tickets. Where were their pets going? Mr. Putter’s cat came in Mrs. Teaberry’s basket, and her dog came in his rucksack, actually!! So they and their pets had a very very good time in the train.

I thought it was interesting that the relationship Mr. Putter between Mrs. Teaberry. When I was a junior high school student, I had a rabbit as a pet. He was so cute!!! I loved him, so I thought I want to have a pet again.
