The magic book

Once upon a time, there was a boy whose name was Billy. Billy was in the fourth grade but he
didn't like so much to read books (excepting the cartoons, of course). He was always sad when he had to
read a book for school because he thought that reading books is so boring and it's a waste of time.
One day, when Billy was lying on his bed and he was reading cartoons, a thin voice addressed
him. It was a book! When Billy saw that, he screamed and locked the bathroom door behind him.
''Don't be afraid! I will not hurt you!'' said the magic book.
''How can you talk and why did you come here?'' asked Billy.
''I can talk because I am a magic book! I have a mission to help the children that don't like to read
books and make them love reading. Now, let's go to my world to see what kind of books you would like to
read.''
In the second moment, both of them were in the ''Books Country''. The ''citizens'' that were living
there were giant books with coloured bindings. All the trees were having written pages instead of leaves.
''Let's go to Adventure Book' s house to see if you like this kind of books.''
When they got there, the Adventure Book said:
''Hello, my dear friends! What brings you here?''
''I am here because I have the mission of helping this boy finding what kind of book he likes.''
''Well, let’s see!''
The Adventure Book showed Billy a lot of famous books like: ''The adventures of Tom Sawyer'',
''Gulliver' s travels'' and ''The three Musketeers''. Billy chose ''The Adventures of Tom Sawyer'' because it
had an interesting binding and it was the thinnest book.
''Now, if you found the perfect book for you, let's get you home!''
After one moment, Billy was home. Immediately, the boy started to read the book and he realised
that reading books is very interesting and brings you into a wonderful world full of mysterious characters.
