Llubià_The Joy of Books

 Morris Lessmore loved words. He loved stories. He loved books. His life was a book of his own writing, one orderly page after another. He would open it every morning and write of his joys and sorrows, of all that he knew and everything that he hoped.

His stories were usually narrated projecting the love he felt for all the books he had read, and also pouring all the knowledge he had because of them. He would wake up everyday to a defferent story and tried to make each of his days as diffrent to the previous one as he could so that he felt like any of his literary heroes. If everyone lived the same way as our reader friend, everything would be easier, but it is not the case. He deals with ignorance everyday but has to keep a straight face when he encounters it to avoid problems -or even confrontations-, since the uncultured ones tend to solve issues with violence instead of their mentality.

This is exactly what our Morris' city major want things to be like. This way, he could control their citizens more easily since they wouldn't be complaining about something they didn't know was happening. Things were already getting a little out of hand when our reader was recomending books at his usual library and, all of a sudden, a group of troublemakers broke in without giving the impresion of wanting to read anything. They showed up with bats and the intention to confiscate any book they felt like taking with them. They were wearing their president's logo on their caps, so he supposed they were at the library in his name. Having had enough of all the oppresion they had to go through as people who simply loved reading, our main character and his pals decided to spread all the knowledge they had recieved from books. They decided to pick their favourite ones and leave hundreds of copies all arround the city. People eventually started finding and reading them, leading that society to better learning sources that allowed them to realize how badly they were treated. 

People finally had enough critical thinking to open their eyes and organize themselves to kick the major out. Morris was finally free to read to others, talk about literature and even learn more, but that is not all. The thankfulness of the citizens was so big that they decided to make him their new major, and there were no uncultured troubkemakers ever again.
