Harry Potter

I and Anish have developed a habit of visiting any book store(s) we encounter in our way, and I, particularly, have grown a maniac of buying lots of book even though I read comparatively less. But this was Barnes and Noble and two days after the release of the seventh series of Harry Potter, named "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", so we had to go inside to check it out. At the entrance itself, the Harry Potter books were piled up to such a great distance upward that a shorter kid can not even see its front page. But the heap did not plead us at all and so we ignored them and went inside. In order not to disloyal my maniac, I finally found "Three years that shook physics" by George Gamow to buy.

When we were coming out satisfactorily, we saw a kid of approximately two or two and a half years old, entering the store holding his mother's hand. By the crow flies, he came upon the heap of books and ran down to it departing from his mom and urges loudly in his broken English “I want to read this book”. His mother fortunately managed to hold him back and consoled him “You are not ready yet. There is no picture inside”.
