BR2-7 The enchanted castle

Jerry, Jimmy, and Cathy were two brothers and a sister. They were British. For holidays, they usually went home.One holiday, they couldn't go home. So they all stayed together at Cathy's school. They were the only three children at the school. The children had a good time in the forest. They got lost. But they were not afraid. The children found a cave. It led  to a long, dark passage. When they came back into the light, it was beautiful. They saw another forest with a lake. There were even deer! And there was a castle. "It is an enchanted castle," said Cathy. The children went closer.

I'm sure I think this is fantasy story, but I think it is not a just fantasy story. I can be felt real world from this story. When a sleeping girl appeared, many children imagine that she might be able to use much magic, but interestingly, it is just a trick and she is a just maid's niece. And also, I found that "Enchanted" is pretty nice word which you can see many times while you read this story. I didn't use this word very much, so I will use it many times.

spotlight, and the other matters...

             When I was a young, I went to Christianity kindergarden, so I am shocked by this true story. I went to church every week and believed that father said. I think religion make many people good, and also I often recall that father and sister said. Absolutely, I want to say people in church should chose the right way, and I think people have to write real society and search investigation of them who work in news paper company.
