-Discussion questions:
1. In this story, some chimpanzees appeared, and one of them gave birth. If you marry, how many children do you want?
-I want two children because I think having brother or sister is good. In my case, I get along with my young brother, so we can share a lot of things.
2. The main character lives in the countryside, and in this story, he went to city. Which do you think is better to live, countryside or city?
-I think both of them have good points, so I can't decide. However, if I raise children, I want to live in countryside, because air is clear.

4b. I like this passage, because the little clever pig helped his friends and friend's son could survive and they could feel relief. I think to say "thank you" is good for friendship!
5. There are many anumals in this story. I like anumals and I have watched same series movie, so I can imagine more easily. The little clever pig is very kind for everyone and this story makes me happy!
