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.

Library

I had 5 classes today. It was hard day! After the 5 classes Nami, Manami, Daisuke and I talked in front of a bulletin board. We take a teacher-training course. I like them very much and I enjoyed the time with them. "HOMO SAPIENS""NEKO PUNCH"...Ha ha ha...:) Manami had to go home by 7 o'clock, so she went home earlier than we did. We three went to the library. At Study Room, we studied with the PC. We went out of the library at about 9 o'clock. It was so cold and I was sleepy:<>

BR1-08: Why the Sea is Salty

I read a book, “Why the Sea is Salty”.

This story is a traditional tale from Korea. There is a similar story in Sweden.

Today, the sea is salty, but long years ago, the sea was not salty as today. It was sweet. It became salty because of millstone. A great King had the millstone. This millstone was not a ordinary millstone but a magic millstone. It made whatever the King asked for, for example, gold, jewels, special spices and so on… all the time, the millstone can satisfy the King’s desires. One day, a poor thief tried to steal it. He went to the palace and asked the guards to see the palace. The guard showed the thief the palace. The thief followed the guard and looked for the millstone. He asked the guard about the millstone. The guard carelessly told him about the millstone. Thanks to the guard, he could get the millstone and ran away as fast as he could. Then he took a boat and sailed away. On the boat, he ate a bun, but he wanted salt which put on the bun. He asked the millstone to get salt. It made salt. He jumped for joy. Then he fell asleep. The millstone kept turning while he slept. The pile of salt grew bigger, bigger and bigger!!! When he got up, there were a lot of salt on the boat. By and by the boat filled with salt and sank into the sea. At last, he punished by the King.

I had never heard this story. It is very interesting, isn't it? According to this story, your bad conduct makes you bad. I also do think so.
