Sara loves books. She likes to look at the pictures and hear the stories. She has many books on her bookshelf in her room. She likes to pick a book every night before bed.
One day, Sara sees a new book at the store. It has a big dragon on the cover. Sara likes dragons. She asks her mom if she can have the book. Her mom says no, they have enough books at home. Sara is sad. She really wants the book.
Sara's dad sees that Sara is sad. He asks her what is wrong. Sara tells him about the book. He says he has an idea. He says he will buy the book for her, but she has to promise him something. Sara asks what. He says she has to promise to read one of her old books every day, and then give it to someone who needs it. He says this way, she can make room on her bookshelf for the new book, and also make someone else happy. Sara thinks this is a great idea. She promises her dad to do it.
Sara's dad buys the book for her. She is very happy. She hugs him and thanks him. She can't wait to read the book. But first, she goes to her room and picks an old book from her bookshelf. She decides to give it to her friend Lily, who loves animals. She thinks Lily will like the book. She puts the book in her backpack and runs to the door. She says bye to her dad and mom and goes to school. She is excited to share the book with Lily, and to read the new book later. She thinks books are great.
