My name is Hojin, and I like to make graphic novels. P
While I was walking home from school last week, I saw a woman on a scooter. P
She looked really cool, and her scooter was very unique. P
"Are you going home, Hojin?" she said to me suddenly. P
"Yes, but do I know you?" I asked. P
"Of course," she answered. P
"I see you at the school cafeteria every day." P
Surprisingly, she was one of the cafeteria workers at school. P
"Amazing! She looks so different outside the school," I thought. P
I should write a graphic novel about her. P

In it, Lunch Lady is a superhero. P

She saves people from danger around the world. P
She also makes 100 cookies per second and gives them away to hungry children. P

Have you ever seen a goat on the roof of a house? P
In Norway, we can see animals on roofs. Norway has large forests. P
In harmony with nature, people have built wooden houses for a long time. P
To build strong and warm houses, they cover their roofs with grass. P
The grass roofs protect them from the long cold winters and strong winds. P
Sometimes, trees or plants grow out of the grass roofs, and some animals enjoy their meals there. P
2-2 Reading 2
A roof is an essential part of a house, but long ago some people built roofs only to take them down easily. P
Centuries ago in southern Italy, people who had a house without a roof paid lower taxes. P
To avoid high taxes on their houses, some people built cone-shaped roofs by piling up stones. P
When tax collectors came to the town, people took their roofs down quickly. P
After the tax collectors left, they piled up the stones again. P

Some children got very sick, and the disease kept spreading. P
The people of Nome needed medicine right away, but the town did not have any. P
Someone had to get it from a hospital in Anchorage. P
Because of the heavy snow, a dog sled relay was the only way to get the medicine from Anchorage to Nome. P
Soon, the race to Nome began. P
Twenty-one dog teams were in the relay. P
On January 27, the first team left, and the others waited at different points. P

The whole team was saved because Balto stopped just in time. P
