A Secret World

21 A Secret World I love doing projects with my dad. We have installed a new sink in the kitchen, built a new room, and painted the house. I always learn a lot when we do projects together. So when my dad told me that he needed my help to drill a hole through a wall, I said, “ Sure. " We had to drill through a piece of wood that was about 8 feet long by 8 feet high. Dad told me to do the drilling. So I put the drill against the wood near the floor, pressed the START button, and slowly pushed the drill into the wood. In no time at all, I had pushed the drill through the wall. My dad went around to the other side of the wall to see where the drill had come through. It hadn't. " Did you drill as far as it could go?" he called. " Yes! " I yelled back. I pulled the drill out. To our surprise, there was something stuck to it. My dad looked at it. “ It's paper, " he said. He used a flashlight to look inside the hole. There was a book inside the wall!

Dad removed the entire piece of wood, and behind it was a wall of books! There were hundreds of books. We called the rest of the family so they could see this wonderful discovery. There were books from 100 years ago about everything you could imagine. There were books about science, sports, people and countries. That day, we discovered a secret world right in our own house. We have learned so much from these books, but there is one thing we have not learned -who put those books there and why? I'd really like to know, but my mom says that not knowing is the best part. Maybe she's right.
