William Tell and Other Stories


"Are you calling mad? I must fine every one of you a one cent coin for that!"

 There are six old stories in this book. The men and the women in this book- William Tell, Tom Blood, Lord Bao, King Matthias, Johnny Appleseed, and Lady Godiva- are all real people from history.


 My favorite story is Lord Bao and the stone. Lord Bao lived in the south of china. He was a judge, and all the people loved him because he was very fair. The sentence of the quotation is his words. One day, he saw a young boy who was crying. Lord Bao asked why he cried. He said that he was an oil seller, and his money was stolen when he was sleeping. Lord Bao decided to find the thief.

 I think that Lord Bao is very kind to everyone and fair. I want to become a considerate person like him.  This book is written in easy English and has a lot of colored illustration, so it's you can read in a short time. If you are interested in it, please read it!
