Hi Max! You have done some really fabulous work here! I am a litte confused with which version you are talking about? I think there has been a formatting error at the beginning of each summary.... Excellent work with the conventions. Do you think //The Hare and the Tortoise// is a fairy tale or a fable? Don't forget to check all your capitals when you edit. I also think there is a really, really long sentence in the first sentence that makes me feel out of breath! See you next week. Cheers Mel. Ps - if you want to move my comments to the bottom of your wiki then please do!
