Though there are a lot of good people in
the world, not many of them are world-famous. Mother Teresa was a small, quite
nun. She died in 1997 in India, but people in many countries remember me, of
course, I've known her. I've read her story in Japanese comic when I was an
elementary school students. In addition to this, I've watched recorded TV shows
about her. Do you know about her??? In the world, she is famous. People talk
about her and they love her. Why? Let's read her story. The answer is here.
I chose this book because I thought that I
wanted to read stories about Mother Teresa in English. This story is retold by
D'Arcy Adrian-Vallance. This is in the Penguin Readers Beginner and written in
British English. Its YL is 1.0, so it is written 2133 words (about 14 pages).
