book number 9, The Elephant Man

He did not look like a man. He looked like an elephant. I read the writing under the picture. It said: Come in and see the Elephant Man. 2 pence. I opened the door and went in. There was a man in the shop. He was a dirty man in an old coat with a cigarette in his mouth. 'What do you want?' he asked. (p.2)





I read a book, "The Elephant Man." I was surprised at the story because this is true story. There was a man who is poor, ugly. And nobody loved him, everyone laughed at him. He was taken care of, like an animal, by shopkeeper until he met a doctor. The doctor was interested in him, so he took him in his hospital. In the end, the man could have happy life thanks for the doctor.
