BR1-9: The Magic Pear Tree


I read a book, "The Magic Pear Tree".

This story is interesting!!!
This is a story about Shen who is selfish, a hungry beggar, a kind woman, pears and a little bit of magic. Shen had a big garden. There was a tree of pears. He thought that he sold pears at the market and got a lot of money. A beggar asked him to give a pear, but had no money. Shen shouted "Go away!". A kind woman looked the scene. She asked him to give the beggar a pear. However, Shen rejected. Then she bought a pear for the beggar.The beggar was delighted. He ate the pear and dug a hole to drop in the seeds. A crowd came to watch. He poured hot tea into the hole. The shoot grew and grew. The beggar gave everyone pears. He chopped down the tree and strolled away while no one was watching the beggar. When Shen looked at his box of pears, there was no pears. He found that pears were his and were angry. Everyone laughed at it and "Next time, you'll be less selfish." they said.

Please read this book!
