When I was a kid, my mom and dad brought me to this library on family fun day.

During the book scavenger hunt, I wandered into the reading room.

There were hundreds of books.

Books about dogs, books about planes, books about the sun, flowers, rain, cities, and circus dancers.

艾米喊道，我想成為一名牙醫！

The magician invited Amy to reach inside his hat.

魔術師邀請艾米把手伸進他的帽子裡。

Amy dug deep, then deeper, until she felt something.
