Jenny: My younger sister asked me some odd questions, so I had to find answers in books.
Lydia: Oh Like what
Jenny: Well, why do we have ears on both sides of our head Do you know
Lydia: No idea.
Jenny: Me neither. But luckily, books have all the answers. The more I read, the more curious I got.
Lydia: You’re really smart to learn like this! Any nice books to share
Jenny: Many. Just don’t read too much at once, or you’ll strain your eyes.
Lydia: Maybe that’s why we have two ears! So sometimes we can learn by listening carefully instead of reading with our eyes for too long time.
