stories of ponies


I read “The stories of ponies”. This book is consisted of three chapters. First, pony Magic, second the naughtiest pony, finally the littlest pony.
Magic is a nervous pony. She didn’t like sudden noises. Molly is a girl who keeps Magic. She was determined to try show race of ponies. There were dressing-up race, the box race and the flag race. They couldn’t perform well all of the races. Especially they were bad in the flag race. When they were waiting on start line there was loud noise. A balloon burst. Then Magic jumped fence. She didn’t like sudden noises. They were disqualified. Molly’s dad was seeing her jump and he recommended Molly to try to the jump contest. Molly didn’t know how to do this contest, but Magic could beautiful jumps. They won. I learned everyone has some goodness from this story.
Second chapter is the naughtiest pony. Rascal was a naughty pony. Becky was her keeper. I’ll introduce you how naughty he was. He ate flowers, pull the knot undone etc. Becky lived with her aunt Elspeth. They rode sometimes. After the riding aunt Elspeth started her car and told Becky that she was going to buy more hay. Becky was washing Rascal’s saddle. Then there was squeal of breaks. Rascal was standing on street. Aunt Elspeth got angry and said to Becky “why didn’t you shut the gate of the field!” in loud voice. But she did in fact. Rascal was the naughtiest pony. She opened the gate.
Finally, the littlest pony. Sally was the smallest rider at the riding school. Marco was her brother and he was always teasing her about her size. Sugar was Sally’s pony and she could only ride Sugar. She was the smallest pony and she was pregnant pony. One day Sally left her grazing and she went to stable yard for cleaning. After that she backed where left Sugar, but there was not there. She found sugar in bushes. But the bushes were very tangled. Sugar was in there to eat apples. Now her halter was caught on a branch and she couldn’t move. Fortunately Sugar had small body, so she could into the bushes and helped her. After that, they backed their home, and Sugar gave birth to foal. The foal was named Spice. If sally hadn’t had such a small body, she couldn’t help Sugar and Spice. I learned we can change minus to plus from this chapter. (409)

Stories of giants


I read “The stories of giants”. This book is considered of two chapters.
The first story is a good giant called a troll which has green body. Jon and his father worked hard in fields in the spring and the summer. In the autumn, they went to down to the sea to fish. As his father was too old so he couldn’t to the fish trip. Jon went to the sea alone the first time. His father warned John don’t stoop when you see the big rock. John’s trip started. The storm blew all night that day after landing. He found a cave nearby a big rock. He forgotten his father’s warning and he wanted to rest. He decided to shelter there. When he was asleep, he could hear the baby’s voice from the cave. He was so scared the voice said “we’re hungry”. So he threw his foods to the cave, and the voice stopped. For a while he felt asleep. Then something big appeared in front of him. It was a giant!! He said to the giant don’t him. But it was a kind giant. She welcomed him to the cave and let sleep him. After that meeting, his trip changed to a lot of good things. He could get many fishes and could get treasure gold.
The second story is three wicked giants and how they met a grisly end. Three giants were eating dinner in the forest. The hunter whose name Sam was watching the giants and he fired with his gun. One of the giant injured and got angry. I think it was natural because they didn’t do anything. The giants caught Sam and they requested him to let them meet the princess. The giants took him to the castle. They couldn’t enter the castle because they were too big to enter. So the giants thought had Sam enter and took the princess. Sam entered the castle. Then felt in love to the princess. He wanted to save the princess and he found a golden cup written “Drink this and you’ll save the princess with the magic sword. There was the sword beside the cup. He drank it and pulled the sword. He got power and fought with the giants. He won. After that he married the princess. ….is this happy end!? Why three giants were killed!? Did they do something bad!? I don’t like this story, but funny. (407)
