BR 2-16: Thumbelina

"Here is a magic seed" (p.3)

Thumbelina is pretty and kind, and as tiny as your thumb. Once, there was a woman who wanted a child, and went to a fairy for help. The fairy gave her a magic seed, and inside was a tiny girl, no bigger than a thunn. She is Thumbelina. The woman made here a bed ouf of a walnut shell. It's so fantastic! However, one night, a large, lumpy tad crept throught the open window... she snatched Thumbelina as she slept! What would happen to Tumbelina?!

This is based on a story by Hans Chrisian Andersen, retold by Susanna Davidson, and illustrated by Petra Brown. This is USBORNE FIRST READING: LEVEL FOUR. I think these words are little difficulut, but illustrations will help you guess unknown words. It's good for us to study like that. The story is good, but I wonder where the frist woman goes...
