Rodrigo has sent this summary. Enjoy it and help him by sending a comment if you find mistakes, but is not going to be easy for you to find them.

I like this book because is very funny. When Obelix was a little boy he didn´t study anyting and for this reason he has to go back to school with the children, and start learning maths, language... His friend Asterix does not need to go to school again because he was a good student. The most Asterix and Obelix like is to fight with the Romans and they always win.While Obelix attend the classes with the children, the rest of the Gauls fight with the Romans.Finally Obelix learns a lot and go back to have fun with Asterix.

IMPORTANT

To remember: 

When we write the Pronoun "I", we must write it always with CAPITAL LETTER. 

I can see in your comments that you are used to write "i", and this is a mistake, ok? "Proper nouns, days of the week or months of the year always ask for a capital letter in their first letter".


Example:
Alvaro - Javier / Monday - Tuesday / January - February
