Experiment is a library rat. I even worried she was becoming anti-social so much books she was reading at the International School. Once she would finish all the books of a certain grade, she would ask to start reading the next grade. her room was full of books the other girls would come inside and would say: Is this a bedroom or a library? She got the use by looking us parents reading all the time. If parents read, kids read.

>>those wonderful books<< I loved it when my parents read us those stories, but some were a little scary. The Boy who Cried Wolf... sometimes there really is a wolf! The Pied Piper of Hamelin... one shouldn't go off following strangers! In the back of my mind I always wondered where that Pied Piper story came from. Why would a bunch of children follow a piper? Wikipedia has several hypotheses... The theory with the broadest support[5] is that the children willingly abandoned their parents and Hamelin in order to become the founders of their own villages during the colonization of Eastern Europe. Several European villages and cities founded around this time have been suggested as the result of their efforts as settlers. This claim is supported by corresponding placenames in both the region around Hamelin and the eastern colonies where names such as Querhameln ("mill village Hamelin") exist. Again the Piper is seen as their leader. en.wikipedia.org
