Once upon a time, there was a sad book. The book was a novel. It felt sad because no one wanted to read it. The novel sat on the shelf all alone. It wanted to be with the other books and be read by kids.
One day, a little girl came to the shelf. She saw the sad novel and picked it up. She started to read it. The novel was so happy that someone was finally reading it. But then, something bad happened.
The little girl took the novel outside to read. It started to rain. The novel began to soak in the rain. The girl ran home and left the novel behind. The novel was sad and wet. It thought no one would want to read it now.
But the little girl came back. She found the sad and soaked novel. She took it home and dried it with a towel. The novel was happy again. The girl read the novel every day, and they became the best of friends. The novel was never sad or alone again.
