She gave names for her geese and they thought of Amy as their mother. Her Dad agreed her to keep all the geese. Both of they loved the geese very much. With the summer went past; they were worrying about their geese for the coming of winter. So, they taught the geese to follow their plane. They decided to take them to the marsh in North Carolina.

I always bring the novel with me so that I can read it whenever I want. Since the book is light, it is easy for me to do so and by this way; I will not think of reading novels as a burden and can enjoy in it whenever I want. I think reading novels with some light music is also a good way for me. It makes me feel relaxed and can read comfortably. I love to see movies, so novels based on a screenplay is always appeal to me. That's also the reason why I chose this book. 黃韻如49777011
