Book Review④

Hi, this is Chihiro. How are you doing? I catched a cold and had a little fever.
Last Friday, I read a book which is “STUART LITTLE -Stuart Sets Sail-”.

There are the movie series of it, so maybe you had know!

One sunny day, Stuart Little and his family drove to a lake in the country.

“What a big lake, I can't wait to sail across it!” said Stuart.

“Come back before tha sun hits the tops of those trees”, said Mrs. Little.

Stuart set sail and start.

Suddenly, he heard SPLISH! SPLASH!

Sturat yelled “It's a whale!”

“No, I'm just a fish with a whale of problem. Can you help me?”

Stuart pulled the hook out.The sun had moved closer to the trees.

After a while, BUMP! The Wasp ran into a rock.

He stepped onto the rock, suddenly the rock began to move.

The rock is not a rock, it's a turtle!

“You look like lunch to me!” snapped the turtle.

Stuart jumped back into the boat. The sun was closer to the trees.

Suddenly a motor boat sped by and big waved tossed the Wasp.

Then a large bird flew over the boat.

“That was some storm!” said Stuart. The sun was very close to the top of the trees.

“It is time to go back.” Stuart turned the Wasp around and sailed back to shore.

“Did you sail to the other side, Stuart?” asked George.

“No”, answered Stuart. “But did you see all my big adventures?” asked George again.

“I guess they were only little adventures.” Stuart said.

“Adventures come in all size, Stuart”, said Mrs. Little.

Stuart smiled. (250 words)
