BR 2-10: Thumbelina

Today, I read an English book which title was “Thumbelina”. I chose it because the picture was pretty. I think that the story was known by many people. Thumbelina was born from beautiful red-gold flower. To my surprise, she was so small girl. She was as tall as thumb or she was smaller than it. It was origin of her name. Her bed’s material was a walnut shell. It was really pretty! One day, she met with misfortune. She was kidnapped by frog and big brown beetle. Thanks to fish, she could run away. Then she nursed an injured swallow. After nursing, it made a recovery and became fly! The swallow took with her to flower town. Finally she got married with a prince of the town. He was also small!! This story was interesting. I recommend the story. I realized importance of human kindness by the story. I want to help her or him when someone is in trouble.
