Swimmy I read Swimmy. I have read this book when I was in elementary school. Swimmy is a only black fish in a group of red fish. Swimmy could swim faster than any other fish, so he could escape when a big rough fish swallowed his group of red fish. He lost his fellows at that moment, but he found another group of red fish. Finally, Swimmy and a group of  red fish gathered and swam like a big red fish, and drove away the big rough fish. The content was the same, but there were some differences in expression between in Japanese and English. I enjoyed reading this book. Thank you.

  Last One In is a ROTTEN EGG  I read Last One In is a ROTTEN EGG.  "Last one in is a rotten egg" means "Come quickly", and this is often used by children. This is a story about Freddy who couldn't  have swam in the deep water. His friends Bobby and Willie had fun playing in the deep water and Freddy sat by the side of the pool. One day, he was pushed by two big boys and fell into the deep water he was drowning. That accident made him practice swimming in the deep water.  At end of the story, I could understand meaning of the title. After finishing this book, I felt refreshed from the jitters. Thank you.
