Emily recently finished reading
The Prisoner of Azkaban, the third book in the Harry
Potter series. Not bad for a 7-year-old
second-grader. She can't start on the fourth book,
The Goblet of Fire, because her 10-year-old sister,
Ariel, is still reading it. So her father suggested
she go to Ariel's room and pick out something else
to read in the meantime. There are nearly 100 books
on that bookshelf.
When she came back, empty-handed,
Dale asked her if she looked on Ariel's shelf.
"Yeah," she sighed, looking very
forlorn. "There's only one book I want to read, but
it's too high to reach."
"Oh?" Dale asked, thinking he
would go and get it down for her. "What is it?"
"Ariel's diary." |
