The publisher said, “ There’s a story here. This is a man who       books. He just can’t       them. He hasn’t stolen a(n)       book. So what’s the crime ? We think that Mr Barush has a story to tell. We plan to       his story.”

       When asked why he didn’t return the books, Mr Barush said, “ Well, how could I? They became       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,       them around, tear the        , spill soda on them, and drown them in the toilet.”

He continued, “ Books are people, too! They talk to you, they take care of you, and they enrich you with       and humor and love. A book is a member of my family. How could I kick it        ? I repaired torn pages. I        the dust on them with a         cloth, I turned pages so they could        and get some fresh air.”

“ Every week I        them on their shelves so they could meet new friends. My books were HAPPY books. You could tell just by looking at them.
