The Motorway

I read "The Motorway". Biff and Chip went to stay with their Gran. Gran lived in a little village. They found a Chinese dragon kite in her shed and went to fly it near her house. Then they knew that motorway will go between the wood and the village. So, Gran told people in the village about the motorway. Everyone opposed the motorway, but they couldn't help the village. However, Gran found rare flowers there. So, the flowers could help the village.

Caramel...?

I went to "がじゅまる" with my friend at midnight. It was a bar of Okinawa Dish. There were several private rooms, and the light was a little dark. It was a very good atmosphere. I didn't eat foods much but I drunk cocktails. There were many cocktails. Some were popular; others were uncommon that I heard its name for the first time. So I wanted to drink all! But, I couldn't, of course. I drank this cocktail. It was "Caramel... Caramel..." I didn't remember. However, it was like a caramel and coffee mix! It was delicious and the others, too. These cocktails are worth drinking. Please go and drink and eat.

The Bully

I read "The Bully." One day a new girl came to the school. The new girl was called Rosie, and she didn't look very friendly. She was bully and she was nasty to her classmates. Nobody likes her. She asked secret of the magic key to Chip. He didn't want to tell about the magic key, but he told. Then she made Chip take her home. When she was holding the magic key, it wouldn't glow. But, Chip took the key, it began to glow. The key took the children on a new adventure. It was a school playground. The magic key changed her into the figure that she said nasty. She didn't like this and understood that it was the wrong what she did.

It was the short story but it was written very importance in it. The magic key told how to teach Rosie a lesson.
