“I got that movie for us to watch
tonight," says Mike's mom. “Are you ready to leave?”"Sure,"
Mike says, now holding the movie out in front of him. He reads the cover
while walking back to the library entrance. He puts his books and the movie
on the front desk to check out. A librarian stands behind the counter holding
an electronic scanner. "How long can we keep them?" Mike asks
her."Three weeks," says the librarian."Cool," says
Mike.Suddenly, Mike is surprised. His mother is checking out something else
that is too big to put on the desk. It’s a picture of the ocean."What is

mom."You can do that?" Mike asks. Mike's mom smiles at the
librarian. "Yes," she says, "but we have to return it in three
