## Story

Lucas Carson skipped happily through the aisles of the Barton College library, his little feet pattering against the tiled floor. He was only four years old, but he loved to explore the maze of books, even though he didn't know how to read yet.

He had been coming to the library with his older sister, Isabella, for as long as he could remember. Ever since their parents had passed away in a tragic car accident, Isabella had been the only family Lucas had left. She was twenty years old and attended college at Barton, and she took the responsibility of caring for Lucas very seriously.

As Lucas reached the end of the aisle, he turned to see Isabella sitting at a table with her nose buried in a textbook. She looked up and smiled at him, her green eyes sparkling with love. 'Having fun, Lucas?' she asked.

Lucas nodded enthusiastically. 'I found a book about dinosaurs!' he exclaimed, holding up a large picture book for her to see.

Isabella chuckled and ruffled his curly hair. 'You love dinosaurs, don't you? Maybe one day you can study them here at Barton just like I am studying to become a nurse.'

Lucas beamed at the thought of being able to attend college like his big sister one day. He loved spending time on the campus with her, and the library was his favorite place to be.

As Lucas continued to wander through the library, he caught the eye of the librarian, Ms. Wilson. She was a kind-looking woman with gray hair and glasses perched on the end of her nose. Lucas had always been shy around new people, but there was something about Ms. Wilson's gentle smile that made him feel comfortable.

'Hello there, Lucas,' Ms. Wilson said, setting down a stack of books she had been sorting. 'What are you looking for today?'

Lucas shrugged, suddenly feeling a little shy. 'Just looking,' he mumbled.

Ms. Wilson chuckled. 'Well, you let me know if you need any help finding a book. That's what I'm here for.'

Lucas nodded, feeling a little braver. 'Okay,' he said, before going back to his book browsing.

Ms. Wilson watched him with a warm smile before returning to her duties. She had been the one to find the siblings in the library that fateful day when they had lost their parents. She had taken them under her wing ever since, making sure they were always taken care of.

As the day at the library came to an end, Isabella gathered her books and called out to Lucas. 'Time to go, buddy. Ms. Wilson is closing up now,' she said, walking over to her little brother.

Lucas hopped down from a stool and ran over to her, gripping her hand tightly. Together, they said goodbye to Ms. Wilson and walked out of the library.

As they made their way back to Isabella's dorm room, Lucas couldn't help but feel grateful for the support and love he had received from his sister and Ms. Wilson. Even though they were a small family, they had each other, and that was all that mattered.

And as he drifted off to sleep that night, he dreamed of the day he would become a student at Barton College, just like his big sister, and maybe even work in the library with Ms. Wilson, helping other children find their love for books.
