I was tidying up the miscellaneous items in the activity room when I saw a book on the cabinet, abandoned by someone here. It was silently surrounded by dust, showing no trace of the dignity it should have.
So I approached the book and asked, "Is it because no one understands you that they abandoned you here?" The book replied, "Those who don't understand me discard me like worn-out shoes, while those who read me through will naturally treasure me like a pearl in their hands."
I chuckled and said, "You're just an old book, where did you get such elegance?" But he also chuckled and said, "Indeed, my appearance is plain, but you don't see the countless golden houses of words built in my heart. It's a pity that my story is rich, yet no one has the patience to read it carefully. Passersby hold their phones, appearing mentally vigorous but actually spiritually barren."
I was amazed by his words, so I wanted to ask about the paths he had walked, but he just smiled and said, "No need to ask, just open me up, and you will find the answers you seek inside."
So I helped him wipe away the dust, removed the seal, and in an instant, I crossed over to his world.
