BR 2-03: Rotten Apples


I read ‘Rotten Apples’. Roderick Hunt wrote it. I chose this book, because I was interested in the title ‘Rotten Apples’. It was about a horse that eats too many rotten apples. Now, I am going to introduce this story roughly.

The main character of this story is Biff who is a kind girl. One day, she helped her mother’s job. Her job was to pick up the apples that feel down from the trees. She picked up a lot of apples, but some of the apples were rotten. So she put them in the box. When she was carrying the box, Kipper called to her. He said, “Come and see this!” There is Harry Smith who liked by everyone. He sold things with his horse. Biff gave an apple to the horse. The horse liked it. Then, the horse ate all of the rotten apples. After that, Biff and the other children rode the horse with Harry Smith. Suddenly, the horse began to run too fast. “Slow down!” shouted Harry Smith, but the horse did not listen his warning. The children were afraid of the happening. After a while, the horse stopped in a car park with he made funny noise. The horse went to sleep. Harry Smith thought that maybe the horse was drunk. Actually, the rotten apples made the horse drunk! However, Harry Smith did not mind. When the horse was sleeping, he sold everything from his cart. He was happy because of the happening. So he gave the children a present.

This is a very interesting story. I did not know that rotten apples made animals drunk. Is it truth? I do not know. I want to read interesting stories like this.
