M: I need an encyclopedia to find out something. Can I look at mat one?
W: Yes, of course.
M: It’s not too difficult for me, is it?
W: I don’t think so. You’re such a clever boy you’ll be able to understand it. I’ll get it down for you. Phew! There you are. It’s such a heavy book I can hardly carry it!
M: Can I take it home with me?
W: I’m afraid not.
M: Why not?
W: Because it’s a reference book. You can refer to it in the library, but you can’t take it away or other people won’t be able to refer to it, will they?
M: I like to read books like this to learn about lots of things, but my mother says I should read stories as well.
W: Your mother’s right. We can read for pleasure as well as for knowledge. And you can learn things from stories, too, you know.
M: There are so many books here. I’ll never be able to read them all.
W: That doesn’t matter. Choose the ones you think you’ll like. I won’t be able to read them all either, and I’m here all day every day!
