A good book on your shelf is a friend that turns its back on you and remains a friend.  ~Author Unknown

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.  ~Charles W. Eliot 

     I did believed these two magnificent quotes but something happened to me this morning which made me concluded that a book was somehow aggressive.

     After finishing my breakfast ( I would prefer to call it as brunch), my brother asked my mom to bring him to the bookstore. He wanted to buy some gifts for his friends. I tagged along. So, I walked into my favorite place of the whole Sibu Town. The bookstore was crowded with people. I thought some part of it was due to this blessed day-- Sunday.  I submerged myself into the delightful sea of books, ignoring all the people. I picked some books for myself. Then, I leaned on one of the bookshelves, starting to dig into it. Then, in a sudden, some of these naughty books from the bookshelf that I was leaning on, jumped off from their "room". I knew they were really excited to see a beautiful lady like me but I thought they had overdone that. Haha XD So, without hesitation, I kindly picked up all the books so that they may live happily ever after with their friends and families. A happy ending.



                                    THE END!!!


STOP!!! I HAVEN'T FINISH TELLING MY STORY.  THE END !!!



    When I was bending my body, picking them up, a book jumped off and knocked my head. "Ouch!" was my first reaction towards the incident. I used my left hand to feel my head. I want to make sure that there were no serious injury. I didn't want to appear as a main character of this single piece of Newspaper headline -- "Book, the silent weapon ". So, that is how I received my precious gift ---a bump from my adorable little friend today.


Unlucky ME :-)
