Indo Comprar um Livro

Autor: Rukmini Banerji

Ilustrador: Santosh Pujari

Um dia, meu avô deu uns trocados a mim e ao meu irmão.

"Vão e comprem livros", disse ele.

Nós dois estávamos muito felizes. Gostávamos de ler.

Temos que ir agora? Ou devemos ir mais tarde?

Devemos ir hoje? Devemos ir amanhã?

Decidimos ir agora.

Devemos ir ao supermercado? Devemos ir a uma loja pequena?

Devemos ir com alguém? Devemos ir sozinhos?

Decidimos ir à loja pequena, sozinhos.

Gostamos da livraria pequena. É pequena, mas tem muitos livros.

O atendente da loja gosta da gente. Ele sempre nos ajuda.

Devo comprar um livro com muitas fotos?

Devo comprar um livro com muitas histórias?

Devo comprar um livro fino?

Eu não conseguia decidir.

Não sabemos qual livro comprar. O atendente da loja sorriu. "Tranquilos, venham comigo", disse ele. “Esses livros são sobre animais. Aqueles são sobre máquinas. Os de lá são sobre guerras. Peguem o que quiser."

Eu peguei alguns livros. Meu irmão pegou alguns livros.

Sentei no chão. Ele sentou na cadeira.

Lemos e lemos e lemos.

Estava muito quieto. Não tinha barulho.

Uma hora se passou. Duas horas se passaram.

Por fim, sabíamos quais livros comprar.

O atendente da livraria sorriu para nós. Tenho um livro grosso com muitas histórias. Meu irmão ganhou um grande livro com muitas fotos.

Corremos para casa para o nosso avô. Subimos na cama dele.

Ele nos abraçou e depois lemos, lemos e lemos.
