Good morning. I'm going to introduce this book. The title is "Danny's Dream".
Danny was short and skinny boy. He was the skinniest kid in high school. But he was more popular than any other students. In fact, he ate a lot of foods more than other students, and he talked more and laughed louder. So he looked he was satisfied with his life. But it was not so. He had weak points. For example, he wasn't good at sporting and he couldn't read and write as well as other students. So he was laughed by everyone.
But he had a close friend who is Eddy. Eddy was good at sporting. So Danny wanted to be like Eddy. So he tried to play sports well. But he lost at once. So his effort made him more sad.
One day, he watched TV program that were the Olympic Games. There were skinny guys on TV. They looked like Danny. They couldn't run faster than the other guys they had big muscles. But the skinny guys could win miraculously. The scene gave hope to Danny.
In the evening, he dreamed that looked like the TV program. First, a short skinny guy ran at the sports contest. He couldn't catch up with the other athletes. But he didn't give up. So he began to catch up with the other athletes. Finally he could get the first prize at the contest.
The next day, he didn't forget the dream. He decided to train every day. So he ran every day. In fact he ran twice in a day. He went on training. The reason why he did his best was for the sports contest.
The contest day came. He began to run. No one knew that who won at the contest. First, Danny didn't run at the front of athletes. He did his best. He left the other athletes behind one after another. At last, the goal began to see. He ran the fast! Thanks to his best, he could get the first prize!! He became happy and his best friend pleased too.
After I read this book, I thought if we never give up, we can manage everything! In fact, I often give up about various things. But it wasn't good things. So if I feel bitterness, I never give up. After I read this book, I can be positive!
Please read this book! I recommend it.
See you again. (407words)
