Yendo a comprar un libro

Autor: Rukmini Banerji

Ilustrador: Santosh Pujari

Un día, el abuelo nos dio algo de dinero a mi hermano y a mí.

«Id a comprar libros», dijo.

Los dos estábamos muy contentos. A lso dos nos encanta leer.

¿Deberíamos ir ahora? ¿Deberíamos ir más tarde?

¿Deberíamos ir hoy? ¿Deberíamos ir mañana?

Decidimos ir en el momento.

¿Deberíamos ir a un mercado grande? ¿Deberíamos ir a una tienda pequeña?

¿Deberíamos ir con alguien? ¿Deberíamos ir solos?

Decidimos ir a la tienda pequeña, solo nosotros dos.

Nos gusta la librería pequeña. Es pequeña pero tiene muchos libros.

Le caemos bien al hombre de la tienda. Siempre nos ayuda.

¿Debería comprar un libro con muchas fotos?

¿Debería comprar un libro con muchas historias?

¿Debería comprar un libro fino?

No podía decidir.

No sabemos qué libro comprar. El hombre de la tienda nos sonrió. «Tranquilos, venid conmigo», dijo. «Estos libros son sobre animales. Esos son sobre máquinas. Los de allá son sobre guerras. Coged el que queráis».

Cogí algunos libros. Mi hermano cogió algunos libros.

Me senté en el suelo. Él se sentó en la silla.

Y leímos y leímos y leímos.

Todo estaba muy tranquilo. No había ruido.

Pasó una hora. Pasaron dos horas.

Finalmente, sabíamos qué libros comprar.

El hombre de la librería nos sonrió. Compré un libro gordo con muchas historias. Mi hermano compró un libro grande con muchas fotos.

Corrimos a casa con nuestro abuelo. Nos subimos a su cama.

Nos rodeó con los brazos y luego leímos y leímos y leímos.
