It was a very old book.

And then when they turned back to the page before, it had the same words on it that ithad had when they read it the first time.
“Gee,” said Tommy, What a waste! Whenyou’re thorough with the book, you justthrow it away. I guess. Our television screen must have had a million books on it and it’sgood for plenty more. I wouldn’t throw it away.”“Same with mine,” said Margie. She was eleven and hadn’t seen as many telebooks astommy had. He was thirteen.She said, “Where did you find it?”“In my house.” He pointed without
