Read the following conversation and answer the questions given bellow : Mr. Rajan : Why was Robert imprisoned? Mr. Bose : Robert was accused of failing to return more than 700 children’s books to five different libraries in the country and so he was imprisoned.Mr. Rajan : Why did you release him on bail? Mr. Bose : There’s a story here. This is a man who loves books. He just can’t let go of them. He hasn’t stolen a single book. You can ask Robert about it. Mr. Rajan : Robert, why didn’t you return the books. Robert : Well, how could I? They became family to me. I was afraid to return them, because I knew that kids or dogs would get hold of these books and chew them up, throw them around, rip the pages, spill soda on them, get jam and jelly on them, and drown them in the toilet. Mr. Rajan : What do you feel about the books? Robert : Books are people too! They talk to you, they take care of you, and they enrich you with wisdom and humour and love. A book is my guest in my home. Mr. Rajan : How did you take care of the books? Robert : I repaired torn pages. I dusted them with a soft clean cloth. I turned their pages so they could breathe and get some fresh air. Every week I recognized them on their shelves so they could meet new friends. Mr. Rajan : What do you think about the books now? Robert : Now my books are all back in the library, on the lower shelves, on the floors, at the mercy of all those runny-nosed kids. I can hear them calling me! I need to rescue them. Excuse me. I have to go now.
