BR2-18: The Black Cat


"There's something valuable in that seventh box. When we find the seventh box, we'll find the murderer." (p. 15)

"Can I help you?" said the manager. "Yes," replied Salahadin. "My name's Salahadin El Nur. I'm a police inspector. I want to speak to Mr Pearson." "Do you mean Mr Pearson, the archaeologist?" asked the manager. "Yes," replied Salahadin. "I'm sorry. You can't speak to Mr Pearson, sir," said the manager. "Oh," said Salahadin in surprise. "Why not?" "Mr Pearson is dead," replied the manager. "He was found dead in his roomthis morning. Mr Pearson was murdered."

The Three Billy Goats Gruff

イメージ
Clomp, clomp, clomp! Little Billy started across the bridge. Then he heard a cranky voice."Stop there! I am going to eat you up!" yelled Troll. "Wait for my brother. He is bigger and much more delicious than I!" cried Little Billy."What a fine idea," said Trol, licking his lips. And with that, Little Billy crossed the bridge. (pp. 6-8) Three Billy goats gruff are very clever! They cooperated and defeated Troll.  I think Trol is an overly honest. I've just remembered "三匹のやぎのがらがらどん"  Findley, V. (2006).
