Why?

Today Mr. Miller came to visit our class. He showed us a picture of his Grandpa who fought in the war. Then we read a story together. The story was called "Why?"by Nikolai Popov. It didn't have any words but we could read it by looking at the pictures.

In the story the mouse and the frog were fighting over a rock. The mouse jumped on the frog and they started fighting. The frog and the mouse brought their friends and soon there was a war. In the end the frog and the mouse were sad. Nothing was left, not even the rock. (retold by the students of room 8)
