This story is written about the children whose father is killed.
They lived in as foresters helping each other.
I was impressed with their fortitude! ( )

In 1647, there were four Beverley children, Edward, Humphrey, Alice, and little Edith.
Their father is a friend of the King of Endland who is in prison.
Cromwell is a enemy of the King.

I think Edward is courageous.
The relationship of the character in this story is complex for me.
So this story is a little difficult for me. ( )

This familiy is made up of four people,Edward ,Humphrey,Alice and Edith.
But why is this familiy only them?
Where is their parent?
Actually,their parent have already died.
Their father died while fighting for the king.
Cromwell's men against the King's men.
Their father was friend of the King, so he was killed.
They are in great danger too bacause they are familiy.
I think that this story is sad. But One parson helped them.
So,I am happy because there is mutual help. ( )
