BR 1-10: The Inch Prince

When I was a child, I read the picture book. I wanted to read again. So I chose this book.
This story is about Inch prince. Once upon a time, there was a little old man and a little woman. Their names were Mr. and Mrs. Ping. They lived in a tiny house by a river. "I wish we had some children," said Mrs. Ping, one evening. "Only a teeny child could fit in our tiny house," said Mr. Ping, sadly. "But small things can be special too," said his wife. "I wouldn't care if they were just one inch tall," she added. At that moment, a fairy flew by. She heard what Mr. and Mrs. Ping said. She waved her wand and whispered some magic words. Soon afterwards, Mr. and Mrs. Ping had a teeny weeny boy. In fact, he was just one inch tall! So he had a bottle top for a bathtub. He had a shoelace for scarf.　He had a button for a dinner plate. And he had a matchbox for a bed. Many years later, it was time for him to leave home. His parents gave him three presents for his journey. For example, rice bowl, chopsticks and needle. He left home with these tools. At last, he reached an emperor's palace. Then he met the beautiful princess. One day, the princess left the palace to visit her aunt. He went too. They came to a dark forest. Just then, there was a n ogre. The ogre scooped up him in his mouth. He took his needle-sword and pricked the ogre's tongue. Then the ogre ran off! The princess fell in love with him. She loved him, because he was brave. They got married

Thus, this story has a happy ending. So I am happy too! He was just one inch tall, but very cool!
