Hi. Welcome to the Screen Actors Guild Foundation Storyline Online.

I'm Mindy Sterling and I get a great chance to share this wonderful book with you.

程度の副詞

I just found it recently and fell in love with it.

It's called Library Lion and it's written by Michelle Knudsen and illustrated by Kevin Hawkes

He walked right past the circulation desk and up into the stacks.

Mr. McBee ran down the hall to the head librarian's office.

"No running," said Miss Merriweather, without looking up.

"But there's a lion!" said Mr. McBee. "In the library!"

"Is he breaking any rules?" asked Miss Merriweather.

She was very particular about rule breaking.

"Well, no," said Mr. McBee. "Not really."

The lion wandered all around the library.

He rubbed his head against the new book collection.

Then he padded over to the story corner and went to sleep.

There weren't any rules about lions in the library.

There weren't any rules about lions at story hour, either.

But she read out the first book's title in a good, clear voice.

The lion stayed for the next story. And the story after that.

He waited for another story, but the children began to walk away.

"Story hour is over," a little girl told him.  "It's time to go."

He looked at the story lady.  He looked at the closed books.

Miss Merriweather came striding out of her office.

"Who is making that noise?"  she demanded.

Miss Merriweather marched over to the lion.

"If you cannot be quiet, you will have to leave," she said in a stern voice.

The little girl tugged on Miss Merriweather's dress.

"If he promises to be quiet,  can he come back for story hour tomorrow?" she asked.

The lion stopped roaring.  He looked at Miss Merriweather.

Miss Merriweather looked back. Then she said,

"Yes.  A nice, quiet lion would certainly be allowed to come back for story hour tomorrow."

"You might as well make yourself useful."

She sent him off to dust the encyclopedias until it was time for story hour.

This time, Miss Merriweather asked him to lick all the envelopes for the overdue notices.

Soon the lion began doing things without being asked.

He dusted the encyclopedias.  He licked the envelopes.

He let small children stand on his back to reach books on the highest shelves.

Then he curled up in the story corner to wait for story hour to begin.

At first, the people in the library were nervous about the lion.

But soon they got used to having him around.

In fact, he seemed very well suited for the library.

His big feet were quiet on the library floor.

He made a comfy backrest for the children at story hour.

And he never roared in the library anymore.

They patted his soft head as he walked by.

They had always gotten along fine before.

Lions, he thought, could not understand the rules.

One day, after he had dusted all the encyclopedias

and licked all the envelopes and helped all the small children,

the lion padded down the hall to Miss Merriweather's office to see what else there was to do.

There was still some time left before story hour.

You can bring a book back into the stacks for me.

Miss Merriweather stepped up onto the step stool.

Then Miss Merriweather stretched a little too far.

"Mr. McBee!" she called after a minute.  "Mr. McBee!"

But Mr. McBee was at the circulation desk.

He could not hear her calling.  "Lion," said Miss Merriweather.

"No running," Miss Merriweather called after him.

The lion put his big front paws up on the circulation desk and looked at Mr. McBee.

"Go away, Lion," said Mr. McBee.  "I'm busy."

He pointed his nose down the hall toward Miss Merriweather's office.
