The Velveteen Rabbit

This is the book I read a few months ago.
It's at home, and I got it from Rebecca teacher.
We gained best scores in the test, and she gave it as a present.
It was a really sad story.
On Christmas day, a boy got a Velveteen Rabbit for a present.
The rabbit wanted to be real.
So, he asked an old horse, who lived in the nursery, more than any other toys,
how to become real.
The old horse told him, that it takes a lot of time to be real,
and he has to be thread-worn, and dirty, to be real.
But still, the Rabbit really wanted to be real.
Even if he wasn't loved by the boy that much.
He was always placed inside the toy drawers.
One day, the boy's nanny threw out the doll he always hugged.
When the boy cried, she gave him the Velveteen Rabbit instead.
From that night, the boy only loved the rabbit among the toys.
The rabbit was happy, because he knew that if he is loved enough,
he will become real.
Many weeks and months passed, but the rabbit didn't become real.
He was sad.
One day, the boy went out with the rabbit.
There, he saw a real rabbit.
It was then that he wanted to be really real.
Many years passed, and now the velveteen rabbit was not so
pretty anymore. His spotted coat was thread-worn, his nose was no longer smooth,
and his fur was not so bright anymore. The boy still loved him,
but the nanny was worried that the rabbit might make the boy sick.
When the boy falls ill with scarlet fever, and go to the seaside to become healthier,
he is so excited that he forgets the old rabbit.
The rabbit was told by the docter that it must be burned, because it can carry
diseases. While awaiting the bonfire, the rabbit cries a real tear.
Than the Nursery Magic Fairy comes, and tells him he was only real to the boy.
The Fairy makes the rabbit real, real to everybody.
The following spring, the rabbit sees the boy.
The boy never knoticed that the rabbit was his old stuffed animal,
but the rabbit knoticed his old friend, the boy who made him real.

Bangladeshis Rely on Floating Schools ??

Bad news, everyone!
I think we are always sorry to hear bad news.
The story is about Bangladesh.
Bangladeshis rely on floating schools amid flooding.
How shocking!
I never saw a flood here.
It doesn't rain much here.
I think the children aren't lucky,
even though they get everything.
They don't have to buy any of the stationaries.
The teachers hand them out pens, books, and everything.
But I don't think they are lucky.
We live in nice houses and walk where ever we want, while
in Bangladesh, they have to study while boating.
I think the Bangladeshis who devote money to make a school and
buy their stationaries, are also poor.
They have lost their money in the flood, maybe.
Everyone, lets thank for everything that is given to us.
Here is a picture of somebody's hand.

Time thief

I like reading books .
I especially like the book 'time thief.'
It is about two other tribes besides human.
One a perfectly wonderful who use magic,
and the other the dirtiest tribe in the world,
who have no thought to make things better.
A girl from the dirty tribe, a girl named
Sofi Lorin Mossel, becomes a time thief and stole
a clock that will give humans time for a thousand
year. Later, she becomes one of the Gardians, the nice tribe. When the humans are in trouble, they help them, always. Thats another why I like Gardians .
The main reason is that it takes us to an imaginary world of time, and clock.
My favorite line is said by the Gardians, too! My favorite line is a spell,
that we can't understand. But it is translated by scientists.
It is {Tid hildas, Elle brucas.} This spell helps the Gardians get in to the room of time to help humans, and it means, : We rule the time, and the humans use it.
Well, I am a big fan. If you see my bookcase, you will truely know that I like time thief so much.
I bought time thief 1,2,3, and 4. It means I bought all of them.
My sister helped buying them, too.
Wouldn't you like to read this book and go to the imaginary timeworld?
