When I was two years old, my grandmother gave me a book for my birthday. That was a very, very big book, with a cover that moved when the light hit in a certain way. It had only pictures and small stories. I found animals like elephants, giraffes, lions, zebras, and flowers like cactuses, banana trees, olives, lemons, figs, oranges. I was delighted because I saw it for the first time in my life. Every night when I went to sleep, I asked my mom to read me a story or to show me a new picture. While she was reading me stories, I would often fall asleep in the middle of a story. After that, I always asked my mom to buy me at least one book per month. I was six years old when my dad first time took me to the city library, and since then the library becomes my playground. Like other children, I liked to play with toys, but I enjoyed reading books more.
For me one of the important things was when I learned to read. After that, everything became interesting for me. Reading books, I learned every day something new. Every day, after or before school, my dad used to take me to the library. The library was like another home. I was excited when I saw so many books in one place. I asked my dad:” Would I have enough time in my life to read all this books?” He told me:” Yes, you have, but tried to learn something new in each a book”. I spent in the library hours and hours. When the weekend came, I usually took a book and read it at my home. While was I read a book, I was going to a new world, and travel all around the world, meeting new interesting people, trying delicious food. In that moment, that was only my world, made with stuff that only I like. Today I like to read books more online. One of the reasons is that I do not have time to go to the library. I find my favorite books on Internet and read them online.
