THE CURIOUS LIBRARY

Our last assignment -The Curious Bookcase- was a total hit. Some students decided to keep on writing, inspired by the title given. Here's another example of how GREAT young writers can be! 

THE CURIOUS LIBRARY

In a curious library, life is very different. There we find so many books with interesting subjects and wide knowledge. In addition, we can find students preparing to take an exam, and also learning with the only aim of knowing, which is an essential value to modern life, because when a person is ignorant, is much easier to deceive. Like when we are in a strange city, without knowing the streets and it is easier to get lost.
Anabel was a young woman, just about 21 years old. She was studious and attentive. Her grandfather told her: "You must learn and that will help in the future”. So, every morning, she went to the library. At 6 in the morning she was already there. Lili, the librarian, greeted her and then Anabel followed her routine. It began with the subject she hated most, the formal sciences. She then continued her study with both social factual sciences and natural.
She has been doing this for three week: she went to the section of Latin- American History, and looked for the same book, which she had already read a thousand times but loved, called “The stolen independence”. 
Immediately after finding it, she sat down on a chair close to the great large window that showed the garden of the faculty. But on July 28, 2002 -always at 6 am- she went to look for the same book and sat down close to the large window. But that morning she fell from the large window to the garden. When the librarian, Lili, heard the noise and saw what had happened, she immediately called emergency.
The police arrived and began to question the librarian about the accident. Lili said that the name of the young girl was Anabel and that she came to the library every day at 6 am, and always sat in the same place. She said she really didn’t see anything because she was facing back, so she saw what had happened when she heard loud noise.
Meanwhile, Anabel was being treated. Fortunately, nothing happened. She was only unconscious for two weeks, in a coma. So when she got up she knew all about Latin- American independece as if she had lived in the book for two weeks.
Security cameras showed that the girl had simply fallen asleep on the table and that her dream was so distressing that she moved and fell involuntarily through the window.
