tertainment they provide for. In early times, books consisted of (4)______

papyrus plant. The strips were pasted together to form long sheets. A stick
was attached to each end of the sheet, which was then wounded up to form (9)______
a scroll. The papyrus could be easily carried and stored, and it was poor for (10)______

animal, usually a sheep or a goat) replaced papyrus as a writing material. [br] (5)
