"Andersen's fairy tales"--week1(fall)


I haven’t seen you for a long time! How are you?

Have you good summer vacation? I’m fine and my summer vacation was pretty good!

And I read “ANDERSEN’S FAIRY TALES” by Hans Christian Andersen with a new afterword by Joanne Greenberg. First, I read the story of “THE TINDERBOX” and “LITTLE CLAUSE AND BIG CLAUS”. I was interested in this fairy tales; however, I haven’t read this story, so I want to challenge to read this.

“THE TINDERBOX” was the story of a mysterious tinderbox. A soldier met a witch, and the witch asked him to bring her tinderbox. He withstood the severe trials. Finally, he helped a princess from her parents. Next, it was interesting for me to read “LITTLE CLAUSE AND BIG CLAUS”. This story’s main character was Little Claus and Big Claus. They have same name, but Big Claus had four horses and Little Claus Had a horse. The number of the horses was the origin of their names. Little Claus was very clever and his thinking was unique. Therefore, he got bush of money by using some wisdom. He used tragic things to earn some money. These ways may not good; however, I like the scene of the farmer family and Little Claus. His idea was interesting, so if you have an opportunity, please read this story. 

Thank you for reading my article!
