This is my reading task and the book is called the Nightingale. I am proud of this because it took a lot of effort in to it. I have been working on this because it is important to me to finish and it took me along time to do this. Something that has challenged me is the answer's because they were hard.The nightingale is a cool book and the the king fond a bird and then he got a golden nightingale and the king turned the key and the nightingale sang it's song and the golden nightingale sang it to.In the story the king is sick.My favourite charecter (character) is the king.
