Kurtz was with Lime when Lime died by the accident. Martins asked him to help Martins, however, Kurtz said “I wish I could, but you know, I am Austrian. I have to be careful with the police. I am afraid I cannot help you, except advice.” And he explained the situation at the time.

BR 2-05: The New House

"What a job!" (Hunt & Brychta, 2003, p.16).

The reason for choice is that I wanted to know how nice the house is and the picture is cute. I would like to live new house. When I was child, I lived the old house. Now, I moved the new house and I have lived for 12 years. I wish I will live alone sometime.

The overviews of this story is moving. A big man came to the house by van. When he looked at the thing, he was surprised that there are a lot of things out of the house. Mum and Dad helped the man because he could not put things in the van only him. Children helped, too. I think that Children is so cute because they said "What a big man!" when they looked the man. The writer express how cute Children is. The interesting point I think is that they put a lot of things in the van.
