David walked down the street．All he wanted to do was to play basketball with Jim．But his mother told him to return his sister's books to the library on his way to Jim's house．
In his eyes，books and summertime just don't go together．He thought he had read a lot during the
school year．And he had never set foot inside a public library．Today he'd just drop the books off in the
outside return box，but it was locked．He had to go inside to return them．
David walked inside the building a few minutes before closing time．He put the books into the return
box．After a quick drink of water and a short stop in the toilet，he'd be on his way to meet Jim．He
walked out of the toilet．The library lights were turned off．He was locked---in a library．

He was surprised to discover that this place was not so bad．Rows and rows of books!When he
saw a book about Michael Jordan on the desk，he picked it up．He opened the book and began to read．
