Sevde was a child who loved to read books. His best friends had always been the books he read. I guess that's why he was lonely and couldn't make friends. Because when she sat down with her friends, computer games were always talked about. Sevde was always talking about the book, but she kept silent because she thought it would not attract the attention of her friends.This passion for the game in his friends worried him. He wanted them to feel the love of books, too. But he didn't know how to go about it. When Sevde went to the school library, lost in thought, she saw the unread books dusted on the shelves. It was as if the books were very sad and wanted to tell Sevde something. That's when he noticed the book with tears in his eyes on the shelf and took it in his hand.

Sevde was shocked. Could this be? The tears of the book

flowed into Sevde's hands. "Someone finally noticed me," said the

book in an offended voice. Words in the book trembled,

punctuation trying to locate. Sevde asked, "Dear Book, why are

you sad?"

The book began to tell tearfully."I've been on the same shelf for years.No one came and picked me up, didn't touch my pages. I am so sick... In the past, two or even sometimes three children a week would come and pick me up. Sometimes they would study here and sometimes they would take them home.I would have seen many houses and known families. It would be fun. Very few children come to the library now."said.
