Salam and good day teachers
and friends. My name is Aryan
Luqman b. Syafiq. I’m from SK
Rambah Pontian Johor. Today, I
would love to share with you
one of my favorite story books
that I love to read every night.
It is called Fables from around
the world book 4. This book is
edited by Suzee Leong and
there are 27 exciting short
stories gathered from around
the worlds such as from
Germany, India and many more
in all its 89 pages.
My favorite story from this
book is a story from India
called the judge and the thief.
This story was about a man
who got his money stolen by
one of his housemates. So he
reported it to the wise king.
And this king teachers and
friends, was a very smart and
fair ruler. He devised a plan to
catch the thief. The king gave
all of the suspects a ‘magic
stick’ of the same length. He
said that only the thief’s stick
will grow an inch over night
and ask them to bring the
sticks back the next day.
The thief was frightened and
finally he thought of a solution.
He decided to cut his stick one
inch shorter so that when it
grows over the night, it will be
the same length as everybody
the next day. The next
morning, when everyone
gathered in front of the king,
the length of their ‘magic
sticks’ stay the same. Except
for the thief’s, it was an inch
shorter! It was then he realized
that he was outsmarted by the
king and was going to pay for
his action.
Well, wasn’t that interesting
teachers and friends? It
teaches us that we don’t
always have to rely on our
physical ability because
sometimes we can use our
brain power to even catch a
thief. Because our brain is a
weapon and we must use it
properly.
Another interesting facts about
this book is that there are
many fun activities included in
it such as quizzes, jokes and
even magic tricks!
I hope you enjoyed my review
of this book called fables from
around the world book 4. You
can get this book from your
school library, local bookstore
or buy it from internet. Well,
that’s all. Thank you and bye
bye.
