52 - A pretty carpet

Lesson 52 A pretty carpet We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning. I have been trying to get my new room in order. This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books. To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my books on the floor. At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room. A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs. She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor. &`&This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen,&`& she said. She gazed at it for some time then added, &`&You don&`&t need bookcases at all. You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!
