The Magic Library
Tom loves Saturdays. Every Saturday morning, he visits the city library. It is a big, old building with tall windows. His favourite place is the children's section. It has soft blue chairs and shelves full of colourful books. Last Saturday, Tom read a book about space. He learned that Mars is called the Red Planet. He also read a funny story about a cat who could talk. The cat's name was Whiskers. Tom spent two hours in the library. He was very happy.
