"The pearl shone brighter than stars......brighter than the sun." (Sims, 2009, p.18)

This story is based on The Bright Pearl, a folktale from China.
In Chinese stories, dragons and Phoenix are often shown together.
Chinese dragons have lots of magical powers and can even fly without wings.

This is the story of Dragon Mountain, Phoenix Mountain and a shining lake.
It begins thousands of years ago, in China...
Long, long ago, a dragon lived beside a magic river.
Deep inside a dark forest that grew on the other side of the river lived a phoenix.
One day, they met on an island in the river.
A shiny pebble lay on the sand.
The dragon washed it in the river and the phoenix polished it with a feather.
And the pebble became a pearl.
They stayed on the island.. watching the pearl.
What will happen to the pearl?

This story is retold by Lesley Sims. This is in the Usborne First Reading series.
It's a level 2 book, so it is short story (about 25 pages) and easy to read.
This story is interesting. lol

Week 4-Golden Week plans

Today I would like to write about Golden Week plans. I’m going to Korea this Golden Week. First day, I have to get up early to go to Fukuoka international airport. Then I get a plan to Korea. That day is finished by transportation. Second day, I want to go various places and take a hot spring because Korea is country of beautiful I think. Third day, I want to go to eat Korean food. I don’t like hot food but I like Korean laver. I’m looking forward to! I go to with my mother, and we can’t speak Korean. I’m little nervous but if something happened, I would like to speak English to solve the problem. It is good for me.
