BR: 1-13 Viking Adventure

There was no wind. The Vikings rowed the longship across the sea. Every man pulled on the oars. It was hard work being a Viking. Suddenly, the wind began to blow. "Hooray!" said the Vikings. "Now we can put up the sail. The wind can blow the ship along and we won't have to work so hard."

   Last time I learned about the Viking  in history of UK class so I was enjoyed this story. Viking's longship became to model of playground equipment in a recreation park! I like it. But the children was riding the ship with cow and sheep. I think the animals' smell are bad, and sea was rough. So I don't want to ride the ship LOL. Vikings are Norman and Danes, right? In that case, this story's Vikings are either of the two!
