The Troy Stone

“The Jackson family are on holiday in Turkey. They are staying at a big hotel in Istanbul. Mark(13), his sister Fay(12)and their parents like Turkey.”

 

I read “The Troy Stone”.

Mark and his family went to city of Troy at 9 o’clock in the morning. At Troy, tourists had lunch. It was a hot day, so, after an hour, Mark sat under the tree. Then, he saw something on the ground. It was a flat, yellow stone. “I know this stone” he said. Suddenly, there was a white light in his eye. He was not able to open his eyes.

Ten seconds later, he could open his eyes and he was standing on the beach. It was in a past time! There were many ships and men. And he helped to carry trees. A man call Mark and took him to top of the hill. There was a big statue of horse on the hill. However, men annoyed that they couldn’t search the horse’s eye stone. Mark took the stone out of his pocket. That made him very trusted. That evening, he sat near a big fire on the beach. There was an old woman who was Ana. She told lots of stories to Mark. After finished the talk, she said, “Goodbye, boy.” “Come and see me again one day.” The statue was made by trees and soldier could hide themselves in the Troy. When the war began, he started late and he was about to be killed by soldiers. So he rejected to fight with them and said “Please don’t kill me”.

After that, his sister woke him up. He was asleep and his face was white. He stood up after that, and he found an old woman. She has lots of small wooden horses in a basket. He bought an wooden horse, after that, the old woman said “Goodbye, boy.” “Come and see me again one day.”

 

This is a story about fantasy. I didn’t know about Troy clearly so it is good for me to read this book and understand about Troy. This is a short story, so it is good for us to enhance speed reading skills.
