Blue Beard  I  read "Blue Beard". Once upon a time, there was a man who was feared by everyone because he was rich but had a blue beard. He was seeking marriage from one of his neighbors's daughters, but she hated it because he had married many wives before and they had disappeared. For the sake of intimacy, he took her and his mother and some of his best friends to hang out in the country. They had a good time. She thought that Blue Beard was a polite gentleman and decided to marry him. One day when he went out for a day, he gave her some keys. He went out telling her not to open the room with the smallest key in it. She remembered his advice, but she couldn't bear to open the room. There was an incredible sight out there... I thought this man was very self-centered and he was a bad man who saw the value of letting women follow him. 

The Princess and the Pea This is a real story. I also read "The Princess and the Pea". There was a prince who wanted to marry real princess. He had been looking her all over the world, but he could find someone who doubted whether she was real or not. At least he went castle. One evening a terrible storm came on, one princess came to visit the castle. She was wet from the rain. The queen decided to try to see if she was the real princess. It was a way of using beans and very unique! Please read the rest of the story. I thought that the queen's idea that a real princess had a delicate feeling was very unique. 

Little Red Riding-Hood I read " Little Red Riding-Hood" written by Flora Annie Steel. Once apon a time, there was a little girl called the Little Red Riding-Hood, because she always wore a big red hooded cloak. One day, her mother asked her to visit her sick grandmother's house. On the way, he met a wolf and asked where she was going. The girl was a little afraid, but answered politely and the wolf disappeared safely. When she got to her grandmother's house, there was an old woman who looked a little strange... I think this story is very famous so you have ever read. But I was surprised that this story didn't have happy ending! 

The Fifteenth Character  Sally Brown worked at Happy Hills, amusement park. Staff works there divided into two gropes, wearing costumes and helper of visitors. She was wearing purple cat costume and making children happy. One day, Zapp the famous singer was coming. Everybody had a wonderful time with him. But suddenly one problem happened... The new CD Zapp brought was gone！Where was his CD? I think the book's story is rare in Japan because it reveals that contents of costumes are just humans. :）It's very funny but I don't recommend this book for children because it would break the dream.
