Объяснение:
Book Life
In one small town lived a girl. It was different from all the girls. She did not like to play outside, chatting with my friends, play sports and collect candy wrappers, like the others. She loved to read. She learned to read at a very early age and nothing else to do but read. Many children love to read, but it differs from them in that I wanted to read all the books in the world.
She had no friends, no other interests and hobbies besides books. She came home from school and sat down to read. Soon she had read all the books in the city. She ordered new books. Once she finished reading the last page and noticed that all the books are over. She walked around the house and did not find any unread book.
She sighed, for the first time she sat without reading. She looked out the window and saw that it was snowing outside and the kids built a snowman. All the family were preparing for the holiday. She suddenly for the first time wanted to go out and play in the snow, sit with your family fireplace. But she was already eighty years. She did not notice that life has passed.
