The Amazing Book
By Jezza Bear
This is the story of the amazing book. I have always had a penchant for a good read be it a bit of fiction or a science book. I bought a book last year called:
A Brief history of infinity- the quest to think the unthinkable
This book is a fascinating insight to what we percieve as Infinity and I had read it cover to cover twice until one day it mysteriously disappeared from its usual place on the dresser in the bedroom. Thinking I may have put it in my usual haunts such as the computer room I went on a search. I never found the book but I was often heard to exclaim "Jezzarette 1 and 2 have you seen my book on Infinity, you know, the one with the Moebius strip on the front ?" "NO" and this went on for the next few months, me grumbling that I had lost my book and how I wanted to read it again.
Well I was up at the University one Saturday and the book shop was beckoning for me to enter and so I did. I went in and there it was a copy of my book on Infinity, without thinking and on the spur of the moment, I picked it up and purchased it. Happy at last I skipped off ready to read my book again.
That night I got back home and put my book down in the living room and went about my chores and then went upstairs in the log cabin to send some emails. On entering I noticed that some of the papers had been moved and tucking out from one corner I saw my book on Infinity.....strange, how can it have got up here? I called Mrs J and she just said " Well you never clean up your computer room, I bet it has been there all the time" and left.
I went downstairs and then found my book in the living room, strange, did I bring it down? I went upstairs and it was up there again...this book is amazing until it occurred to me that the one in the computer room was the missing, now found book. Ggrrrr, typical, the day I buy a replacement, I find the old one, well I suppose I could take the other one back but them Jezzarete 2 came out of her room and said "Dad, I was clearing out my toy box earlier and I think I may have found your book!" I couldn't believe my eyes...there it was, the book had now come out of the computer room and had found itself in J2's toybox....How?
It transpires that I had been grumbling so much about losing my book that Mrs J had bought me a new one and placed it on my computer desk pretending that I would find it and be happy the same day that I bought mine and then by total coincidence Jezzarette 2 found the original that se had "accidently" left in her toy box!!!!!!
THREE OF THE SAME BOOK.....GGGGRRRRR
