A writer told this story from his real life. From his school life he was a heavy reader but he had not much money to buy books. He used to see the books on footpath in book stores. And most of the time he used to steal books by acting. . . And he did it for many years from the same store.
Presently he is a famous writer. He has much reputation in us. We like to read his books most of the time. But its very hard for us to think that he was a thief, book thief.
Few days ago he was passing by the footpath. Suddenly it came in his mind to enter in that book store. He found the old owner of the store sitting lazily. He went near his and greeted. Asked him about his health and about the condition of his book store. Also asked can he remember him? Old owner made his strange by replying 'YES'. Writer- you know me? But how?
Old owner- i know you very well cause you're the boy who stole many books from my book store! Writer- you knew that i steal books from your store? Old owner- yes! Writer- but why didn't you catch me then? Old owner- cause i thought a boy who wants to read book but has no much money to buy it so he is doing this. But after all he is a book lover. May be book can make his a real person, real wiseman! So i didn't tell anything!
Can you imagine how great the old book store owner is! Really he's great.
