T4 issumboshi

WRITING

'Task 1.

At once Grandfather and Grandmother began to prepare for Issumboshi's

trip. Issumboshi was ready.

Issumboshi went on the trip with a big wish in a small body. At last

Issumboshi reached the capital cty and anchored under the bridge. Then he

climbed up to the railing and viewed the town.

There was a fine palace over there. At long last Issumboshi arrived at the

palace. He wanted to meet the feudal lord. He wanted to become a retainer.

The king wondered whether Issumboshi's small body could do anything.

Task 2.

Kanchil, the small and clever mousedeer, had many enemies in the forest.

Fortunately, he was quick-witted, so that every time his life was threatened, he

managed to escape.

One of his greatest enemies was Crocodile, who lived in the river that

bordered the forest. Many times Grocodile had tried to capture Kanchil.

Crocodile was big, but he was not very clever. Kanchil was able to trick him

every time.

One day it was very hot. There was no wind at all to refresh the thirsty plants

and trees of the forest, It was in the middle of the dry season, For many weeks

no rain had fallen, so the little creeks where the small animals used to drink

had dried up. Kanchil was walking alone in the forest. He was very thirsty. He

had walked a long way, looking for a brook where he could.
