There was a young girl who was raised in circumstances where three meals day was a luxury.

Her family was so poor that she couldn’t afford footwear or books. She would wear overly long dresses to school so her class mates wouldn't notice her bare feet.

Her father had old fashioned ideas about how sons vs. daughters should be raised. However, a sympathetic colleague of his at work would sneak his daughter paper that was used only on one side. The girl would then sew them into a notebook and use those at school. Since she couldn’t afford textbooks either, she would borrow them from her classmates in return for helping them with their homework, and would copy by hand every word and every diagram from each textbook into her homemade single sided notebooks. She could have complained her fate and quit school. Instead, she chose to look at it as extra practice.

Invariably, she would graduate at the top of her class and eventually made it all the way to high school, fighting against her circumstances all the way, every single day.

It was the night before finals. She was putting the finishing touches on her biology lab work journal. It represented an entire year’s worth of her work. She was so absorbed in her school work she forgot to look at the clock. It was her father’s dinner time and she had not warmed his food yet. That was enough to drive him to such anger that he grabbed her journal and stuck the entire thing in the wood stove. Through blurry eyes, she watched her entire year’s labor go up in flames. In order to make that journal which had to be submitted to the examiners for grading, she had specially gathered sheets of paper with pencil writing on one side, and erased every pencil mark using erasers so small they were abandoned by their previous owners as unusable. She then measured and hand cut each sheet so they were all the exact same size before starting work on the journal of 100 pages.

She could have broken down beyond hope at this point. Instead, when life handed her lemons, she decided she’s going to make the best lemonade ever tasted.

She served her father dinner, and after he went to bed, she set about recreating an entire year's worth of work overnight by the light of an oil lamp, because her father would be mad if she wasted electricity studying. This time, she was racing against the clock and this cost her when her work was graded. She still ended up topping her class anyway. She graduated high school with perfect scores and the highest honors in Math, Physics and Biology and with one point less than the perfect score in Chemistry. She made the best lemonade in her life!

Those who are used to looking through thousands of books in big bookstores may find Japan’s Morioka Shoten a little strange. That’s because this tiny bookstore that is located in Ginza, Tokyo sells only a single book at a time.

Opened in May 2015, Morioka Shoten is the brainchild of Yoshiyuki Morioka. The experienced bookseller began his career as a bookstore clerk in Tokyo’s Kanda district before branching out to open his own store. It was here while organizing book readings that he realized that customers usually came into the store with one title in mind. Morioka began to wonder if a store could exist by selling many copies of just one single book. In November 2014, he partnered with his two friends, to establish a unique bookstore with the idea of “A Single Room, A Single Book.”

Like its offering, the bookstore is simple. The selections that are picked by Morioka change weekly and vary widely to attract customers with different interests. Recent choices include The True Deceiver, an award-winning Swedish novel by Tove Jansson, Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales, and a collection of artist Karl Blossfeldt’s photography of plants. Morioka has also chosen books written by famous Japanese authors Mimei Ogawa and Akito Akagi.

To highlight his only offering, Morioka often uses clever methods. For example,when selling a book about flowers, he decorated his shop with the ones that had been mentioned in the book. He also encourages authors to hold talks and discussions so they can connect with customers. Morioka says his goal is for the customers to experience being inside a book, not just a bookstore!

Risky as the idea might seem, things appear to be going well. Morioka says he has sold over 2,100 books since he opened it. Things can get better considering that his bookstore is becoming increasingly popular not just among the locals but also visitors from other countries.

1.What inspired Morioka to open such a bookstore?

2.Why is Morioka Shoten unique?

A. It is popular with foreigners .

A. To introduce his bookstore.

B. To advocate his philosophy.

C. To make books better understood.

D. To help readers connect with each other.

4.What’s the author’s opinion about the bookstore’s future?

A. Risky B. Optimistic

C. Unpredictable D. Hopeless
