We have just moved into a new house and I havebeen working hard all morning. I have been trying toget my new room in order. This has not been easybecause I own over a thousand books.To makematters worse, the room is rather small, so Ihave temporarily put my books on the floor. Atthe moment, they cover every inch of floorspace and I actually have to walk on them toget in or out of the room. A short while ago, mysister helped me to carry one of my oldbookcases up the stairs. She went into my roomand got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor. 'This is the prettiest carpet Ihave ever seen,' she said. She gazed at it for some time then added, 'You don't needbookcases at all. You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!'
