Book Review 4


I read "The Nightingale" written by Hans Andersen this week. I have heard the name of "Nightingale", but in fact, I don't know it's bird name. I hear it's sing very beautifully.
Once there was a king who lived in a beautiful palace, and he had a very big and beautiful garden there. Many people came to the king's city, palace, and garden. But when they heard the little bird, they all said, "Nothing is as good as the nightingale." But the king don't know it at all, and he has never heard how nightingale singing. So he said want to hear and see the nightingale. He called his head servant to take the nightingale for him. So the servants asked little girl who was helping to cook the king's food. She knows it very well. Finally, they found the nightingale, and they asked for it to sing in the king's palace. The little nightingale sang so beautifully that the king began to cry, and so everyone began to cry. The king and everybody were so happy then. One day someone brought a box to the king. Inside, it was a nightingale that someone had made, but it could sing and looked more beautiful, its body was covered with jewels. But one little living nightingale had gone out of the open window. The king was so sad, and artificial nightingale were not sing.
After five years, the king became ill, and people thought he's not going to live. And the king was also think he's going to die. Then a beautiful song came through the window. It was the little nightingale who lived in the wood. The king was so glad and he thanked for it very much. And then, he gradually became fine.

I'm glad the king recovered! That's a lovely picture, by the way.
