Mateo, a seven-year-old boy, was very interested after seeing the wooden box on the sidewalk. The sign on the front said “Little Free Library”. Luisa, Mateo’s older sister, told him that people build boxes and put books inside so other people can take books they want and add ones they’ve already read.
The idea excited Mateo and he decided to make his own so kids could trade books. But Luisa was worried that kids may not notice it. Mateo wanted to have a try anyway, and he asked Luisa to help him. Luisa agreed and went to Papa for tools, while Mateo ran inside to collect books.
With Papa’s help, they built a wooden box. They put a door on it and attached the box to a post. Then they dug a hole in their front yard and stuck the post into the hole. Mateo arranged the books inside the box and closed the door. “Now I just have to wait,” he said.
Mateo ran outside three times that day to check. But each time, his books were the only ones inside. For the next few days, Mateo kept checking the box, but his books were still there.
“No kids noticed it and no one wants to trade books,” Mateo said in low spirits, kicking at the pebbles in the path.
“I know you really wanted your idea to work, Mateo,” Luisa comforted him. “I’m sorry it didn’t.”
The next two days, Mateo didn’t check the box. Luisa went to his room to encourage him to take a look in case someone decided to trade, but Mateo refused and buried himself in the sheets. Reading his frustration, Luisa let out a sigh and walked out of the room.
