Continuation Journal J

Sorry I don’t write my thoughts about Thumbelina, because I have no time until a deadline.

I chose this book, because I have read when I was little. Then I thought that she is happiness person, because she is like a Cinderella. Now, I read this book again. I learned by this book that “ What goes along comes along.” For example, in this book, Thumbelina helped the bird, which is pretty well gone and she was helped by the bird.

To the contrary, If I ware her, maybe I would have not help, because my time is completely taken up with the work. I want to be the person, who help person in need don’t expect anything in return.

I read “Thumbelina” by Hans Andersen. It was published by Penguin Readers.

The women, who wanted child went to the old woman. The old woman knows about magic. She told the woman that “plant this magic flower in a small box and wait” A woman went home and put this magic flower in the box. Next day, this flower opened and there was a baby girl inside the flower. She was a lovely girl, but she was very small. The woman called the lovely girl Thumbelina. One night, Thumbelina was asleep when a big and ugly toad jumped onto the table next to Thumbelina. “She is very beautiful. I want her to marry my son.” She took flower and Thumbelina and down into the garden. It was start of her grief. First, She lived as ugly toad’s wife, but her flower bet was pot in the river, because toad prevent from getting away. One day, a kind fish pushed her flower and moved down the river.Next, the little bird in the tree saw her and helped her. Unfortunately, bird’s friends don’t like her, so Thumbelina was took down from tree and put her on the flower. Poor Thumbelina lived here for a long time. Third, the field mouse helped her, but she suggested Thumbelina marry with mouse’s friend mole. The mole was rich, but he doesn’t like the sun, so she maybe never seen the beautiful flower and sun. One day Thumbelina helped moribund bird. To help her helps, the bird recovered.

When she married with mole, that bird helped her and carried her warm country. Finally, she would be free! She meet prince of little people, and they fall in love each other. They lived same flower. She would be fortunate parson.

I belong to track and field club, and I run long distance every day.

So, I will tell you about how to run longer and faster. First, you must to let the tension out of your shoulders while you are running. Remember that a long distance runner is different from a short distance runner completely. Next, buy the shoes, which much your legs. I recommend beginner to buy thick and cushioning characteristics to prevent injury shoes. Finally, consider to run at a constant rhythm. If you speed up as a short distance race, you will be done in quickly.
