I saw this movie when I was a high school student. I was impressed by the last scene of this movie. The last scene is a car race scene. I could feel a sense of speed from this last scene. But I don’t like this movie. I don’t know kind of cars very well. And I am indifferent to car race, so I was sleepy while I watched this movie. This movie is popular among children and boys. My friends also like this movie. It was a very fun and exciting movie. And I thought that this movie is aimed at boys.

Alfie's stomach gave a hungry growl. It was time for breakfast. He hunted high and low. But he couldn't find the cornflakes. Just then, he noticed a trail of cornflakes leading out of the door and up the street. Someone had stolen Alfie's cornflakes He decided to track down the thief and get back his breakfast. He followed the trail into the park. Suddenly, he came face to face with the thief. The chief was a goat! On his way home, he thought about what he'd have for breakfast instead of cornflakes. Then he saw a fox, and the fox ate some eggs. But it was Alfie's egg. The fox ran off. Alfie was cross. And he went home, he was going to eat sardines and waffles. But these were eaten by mouses. He sighed. Then he was going to eat a big juicy grapefruit, and he put sugar on the grapefruit. But there were a lot of ants. He can't eat grapefruit without sugar. At last, he went to cafe. Then he glanced at a newspaper and he found a new job. It was a detective. He was good at find a culprit, so he changed his job.
I read this book. This is a very funny story. It is interesting that the chief changed his job to a culprit. And I thought that he was so unlucky. Because his all his breakfast was eaten by someone. Breakfast is very important for everyone^^
