Mr. Putter & Tabby Pick the Pears

ZING!!!!!

Up, up, up.

Over, over, over.

Out of sight.

'Wow!' said Mr. Putter.

He was smiling.

Mr. Putter and his cat, Tabby walked among the juicy thing. Mr. Putter had loved pear jelly since he was a boy. They went to the backyard to using a ladder to pick the pear but a problem occurs. He had cranky legs, cranky knee, cranky feet, so he couldn’t get up the ladder. Tabby had cranky tail because of her age as well as Mr. Putter. He thought and thought and thought. He came up with an idea that he pick pears with  slingshot so he made his slingshot  immediately. After he made it, they went back to the pear tree. He put fallen apple in the slingshot and shot. Then the apple went flying up, up, up! He came to enjoy, so he shot it many time. It was gone when he noticed.  In addition to this, he notice that he got no pears.

 

I thought using a slingshot to get pears was an good idea! It’s because it enable to get it easily even if his legs were cranky.

The Monkey King

'What shall we do?' cried the soldiers.

'He's too strong!'

The Emperor frowned and pulled his beard.

Monkey was the cleverest animal in China. There was the king of the monkeys, but he was not good king. He was always stealing food and demanding presents so people around him asked the Emperor of heaven for help. He tried to do a lot of things but the monkey never stopped mischiefs. The Emperor confused and said 'What can I do?'

The monkey liked mischiefs and always troubled people around him. I don't want to live a country where the mean animal like him is the king.

Superdog

'I don't want to be the Dog of the Year,'

he thought.

'I just want to go to sleep.'

Floppy was a old dog. He liked sleeping so hw was asleep on the grass that day too. Then children told him to jump on a box like dogs which performed in the "Dog of the Year Show" on television. Besides that, they made a course for Floppy to run round or jump over. He thought 'Oh, no!' but he tried it reluctantly. At first, he did well but he soon got tired. 

In this story, the voice in Floppy's heart can be seen. Hearing a dog's voice was very fresh to me and I sympathized with him.

Arcitic Adventure

'That was a clod adventure.'

said Wilf.

'But it's still hot!'

said Chip.

it was too hot to sleep that day. Wilf and Chip wished they were in the Arctic because it's cold. Suddenly, a magic key began to glow and took them to the Arctic. There was snow everywhere so they were freezing. Then Wilf saw a girl named Oona. She gave them clothes and asked them to help her catch some fish. When they have five fishes, Chip saw a polar bear. They were surprised and tried to run away but Oona stopped them because the polar bear was a cub. 

After that, they searched the polar bear's mother. Thanks to everyone's cooperation, the bear finally met his mother.

I don't have an opportunity to go to the Arctic so I want to go there once like Wilf and Chip.
