The book I never lent: An apology to my childhood best friend

I’ll tell you a little story about an incident that happened when I was an elementary school pupil, and I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to a schoolmate who used to be my best friend back then.

It all happened when our teacher asked us to complete a homework assignment and write a short composition based on some research that we would do on books that we could find on the subject.

Fortunately for me, my father had already made sure to buy a few reference books, such as an encyclopedia and a dictionary, for me from a very young age, and he had actually turned a corner of our house into a small library.

Therefore, I had access to all the information that was required, in order to write the composition.

I told my friend that my father had bought an encyclopedia, and I would use it to search for information.

My friend wasn’t as lucky as I was, and his parents didn’t really care about buying him any books, so he looked sad and desperate, and he didn’t know how he could complete the homework assignment.

So I told him not to worry about it, because I would use my books to find any information that I needed…
