Chapter 2:

The Library Ship

The Songs of a Minstrel


 Once upon a time, there was a man who loved books.

 He loved books so much that he remodeled a large ship and turned it into a library.

 He traveled all over the world, acquiring new books and loading them into the ship.

 One day, while the man was reading surrounded by his favorite books, the ship started to shake.

 The ship's engine could not bear the weight of the books and overheated.

 The ship sank further and further until it finally disappeared into the sea.

 The man still wanted to read, so he converted the ship into a submarine.

 It is said that sometimes, when some ship is crossing the sea, the submarine comes out of the water and takes away all the books on the ship.

 It is said that the man still lives in the depths of the sea, surrounded by his favorite books, reading.

 The end.
