The Boy Who Loved To Read...
Once, there was a boy ,who was about 14 years of age, who loved to read. He read
everything he could get his hands on , and he had 1 store which was his favorite. This
store was old and hanging on its hinges and made of wood , but he didn't complain.
The Boy just finished a book , therefore he grabbed the book and walked to the store.
He searched every inch of the shop but he'd read all the store had to offer. H
econfronted the owner, and asked him if he had anything the boy had not checked
out. He man stood for a second and had a puzzled look on his face. Then he pulled
out a book and blew a tornado of dust of the book.'DEATH' was the cover of this old
witch-like book. Smiling the boy asked " How much for this book?". The man replied
"This book has been thoughout my family for a very long time, who knows what
secrets it holds.". The boy and man agreed at £50. The boy was just about to leave
when the man grabbed his arm and warned "Do not look at the last page."
Well, the boy returned to his house and read the book , and he was content. However,
he always wondered, what could be on the last page, it always in the back of his
mind. A few months after the book was bought, the temptation was to much for the
boy. He flipped to the very front of the book and dropped it in HORROR...
There , in bold print , was MSRP £7.99.
