BR 1-04: Why the sea is salty

       Where did the salt come from? Well, it all began with a magic millstone... It made gold and jewels or special spices or whatever the King asked for.One day, a thief heard about the millstone. The thief told the guards in palace he come from far, just to see the palace. A kind guard showed the thief around. Later, when no one was looking, he crept back again."Got it!!". But, he will be caught up trouble there........( Pussell Punter, 2009, p12)

     I have thought that why the sea is salty when I was child. Probabbly, everyone have thoght like that at least one time. In this story, a thief asked the millstone to make salt. But, the millstone continued to meke salt on thief's boat. So, salt overflow to the sea from boat. This is the reason the sea is salty in  this story. I have heard the god of sea cried a lot of time, so sea is salty. I thought that there are a lot of story and each story is interesting!!!

Book review

     I read "Monster on the Street". Four young people meet the new family who move into the big yellow house. I thought something monster may appear in this story, but Four young people were saying that big piano is monster. I felt these heroines are very cute!! This book is series, so I want to read part2 if I have enough time to read. Next I read "Sorcerer's Appentice". This main character was boring everyday because he has to clean his sorcere teacher's workshop. He want to be a sorcerer, but his teacher never letshim do any magic. Ant, he made mischief wile his teacher went into town. I understand the main character's feeling. For the last time, he feel responsible for his mischief and he became a great sorcere. This story made me happy!! Finally, I read "Titanic". I have seen mouvie some times, but I never read book. I could imagine engineers and workers who employed to shipbuilding. But this book's sentence contain a lot of technical language, so it was difficult for me.
