BR 2-14: Why the Sea is Salty

Today, I went to a library and I read an English book. The title was “Why the Sea is Salty”. When I was a child, I had a question “Why seas are salty”. So I chose the story, but it was fiction. That wasn’t a fact. However it was good story. Once upon time, there was the sea which wasn’t salty.

One day, a thief stole a magic millstone from a king. The millstone was special because it made whatever the king wanted. After he stole it, he ran away from the king by a boat. He was hungry when he was escaping. So he asked it to give him some bread. Then, he got bread, but the bread was tasteless. Next, he asked it to get him salt again. So he got salt and fished eating. Then, he slept because he was full. When he got up, he was really surprised. There were tall heap of salt on the boat. Finally, the boat sank and the salt dissolved into saltwater. I thought that a author of the story has unique imaginations!!
