BR: 1-9 The Motorway

"Hooray!" shouted Gran. "These flowers will stop the motorway. They can't put a motorway here. They can't dig up rare flower's.The rare flowers were saved, and so was Gran's village. The bulldozers and lorries went away, but they left a big hole in the ground.

  I read The Motorway. The Motorway is book in the Oxford Reeding Tree series. This is a story about a little village and motorway. Biff and Chip went to stay with Gran. The Gran lives in a little village. Biff and CHip found a kite which was drawn a dragon. They went to good place to fly the kite. Biff fly the kite first. The wind took the kite up in the sky. Suddenly the wind got stronger. It blew away and landed in a tree. Chip tried to take a kite but he couldn't. Then someone got the kite down with a long pole. Biff and Chip went to fly the kite again, then they saw the wild flowers. Suddenly Gran looked upset. Chip asked the reason. "They want to build a motorway here." Gran said. Biff and Chip upset too. They don't want a motorway here. After Gran told people who live in the village about a motorway. Everyone was upset. They don't want a motorway here. Everyone went the place to say "Stop to make motorway." but a man said "We can't stop it." People came to Gran's house to make a big banner. But soon, big lorries and bulldozers came to the village. The children watched the bulldozers. Biff looked the wild flowers and took it to help from the bulldozers. They gave her the flowers. Gran looked at the flowers then she ran inside the house. She said "This flowers are rare. Now we can stop the motorway." Finaly, the bulldozers and lorries went away, but they left a big hole in the ground. Gran looked at the hole and smiled. She had an idea. The big hole was made into a lake and ducks came to live on it. And then The wild flowers grew round it.
  I like this story because I like Gran's idea. If I were Gran I would remain the ground. By the way, I think that this story is similar today's condition. I agree with the village people's idea.
