It so happened when I was 12 years old, I thought of making
a ’Book Club’ during my summer vacations. All my friends gathered to discuss about it. It
was decided that all of us would bring our own novels, comics, encyclopedia, magazines, competitive
books, etc. and collect them at a common place, and that was my old garage which was not being
used for a long time. We planned to exchange the books and even let them out to outsiders at
a minimum charge. We would read the books thoroughly and discuss about its pros and cons and
used to have a critical review of each book. And then, we gathered around at a common time to
discuss about the story, morals and the new things which we learnt from the books. There were
lots of ideas, full excitement which blossomed a competitive spirit in all the readers to finish
off the book quickly. At the end of the vacation, I had read about 30 books which greatly changed me
and I felt these books were real eye- openers towards the viewing of life.

It was a grey rainy day and David had nothing much to do. He had already finished his homework and chores around the house. His best friend was in bed so there was no one to play with him. It was still raining heavily and so, he could not ride a bicycle or go to the park.
David complained to his grandfather, who was reading a newspaper, that he was getting bored. His grandfather had an idea and said they could have fun with the newspaper. David was doubtful about it.
Grandfather started folding the newspaper slowly and carefully. When finished, it was a miniature sail boat. David was also given the paper and his grand father helped him in making the boat. Now they had two very sturdy-looking boats. Then using a candle, Grandfather rubbed some wax on the bottom of each boat so that it could become waterproof.
When the rain stopped, they took the boats outside where a small stream had formed due to rainwater. The boats floated downstream. David and Grandfather raced their paper boats all afternoon, until it was almost dark outside.
Both of them thoroughly enjoyed the day.
