Characters of a story are Three girls whose name are Biff, Wilma, Anneena, a boy whose name is Kipper, Robin Hood, Robin Hood's men, Sheriff and Sheriff's men. Sheriff and Sheriff's men are enemy of Robin Hood.

One day, Biff, Wilma and Anneena went to the pantomime. The pantomime was about Robin Hood. Next day, Wilma and Anneena went to play with Biff. And they sang a song about Robin Hood. But Kipper who may be Biff's younger brother didn't like the song. Kipper had a key round his neck. It was the magic key. Suddenly the key began to glow and the magic was working. The magic took the children to a wood, then they met Robin Hood and Robin Hood's men. Everyone enjoyed singing a song about Robin Hood, but only Kipper looked inside a big black pot without singing with everyone.

Suddenly, the Sheriff's men ran in, and they grabbed Robin Hood, His men and girls then put a rope round them. But only Kipper didn't grab, because he hid in the big black pot. Kipper made up his mind to help everyone. He defeated a enemy alone and help Robin Hood, His men and girls.

Robin Hood prised Kipper's bravery. Then Robin Hood said "Let's sing a song for him", but Kipper was not glad. Because he didn't like the song about Robin Hood! Suddenly, the magic key began to glow again, and Biff, Wilma, Anneena and Kipper returned their home.

When they remembered that they met Robin Hood and his men, they sang a song about Robin Hood again. But Kipper dislike the song after all.

I didn't know about story of Robin Hood, but I became to like this story when I read the book. I especially like Kipper, because I thought he is very courageous. If I were him, I couldn't do anything. And also, I think he is interesting, so I like him. Changing the subject, why Kipper dislike the song about Robin Hood? This is the greatest mystery for me!

BR 1-01:Public Art

"Public Art"

I read a book. Name of the book is "Public Art". This book was written in easy English and it had many pictures. So, it was easy for me to read. This book has eleven contents. For example, Public Place, A Colourful Toilet! and Sculptures of Presidents, etc.

Content of A Colourful Toilet! was very interesting. This content had three pictures, and each of the pictures were cute.

And also, I was surprised that Sculptures of Presidents was too big. These sculptures are in the USA, and they are carved into rock. Shape of the sculptures were face of the successive presidents of the United States. I want to see it in the future!

Sand Sculpture is very beautiful. I have known ice carvings and rock sculptures, but I don't know about sand sculptures. Sand sculptures are made out of very wet sand. This book has two pictures of sand sculptures. The one picture is a sand dragon and the other is a city made from sand. Both of the sand sculptures were close and particular about detail. But I thought it was powerful!

This book was a childish book, but I thought this book is very interesting.
