BR-16 The Stolen White Elephant

  I heard the following curious story from a railway acquaintance. He was a gentleman of more than seventy years of age, and his good face and sincere manner put the stamp of truth on eveything he said. (p.11)


I think that suddenly an elephant disappears, people living in the place may feel scared because sometimes elephants are violent. In this story, someone stole the elephant. I want to know how to do it. In addition, I want to know how much is it if I buy an elephant.

Today I read What Was It Like?, a book in Oxford Reading Tree series. It was written by Roderick Hunt. The children were excited. They were going to take part in a play. It was all about the history of the town. The play was goung to be held in the park, and the children had to rehearse their scene. " I hope we don't forget what to do, " said Chip. The students experienced the war. I think it was good chance to feel areal situation of the war. A lot of people suffered from it. But now we can't experience. In the world, some people continue to suffer from the influence of the war. We have to solve the problem as soon as possible. Vocabulary rehearse:稽古をする Hunt, Roderick(2001). What Was It Like?.
