Reading

Garett got in trouble and had to go to bed without being allowed to read a book before falling asleep.  He was shocked.  He had never had this consequence and found himself unable to fathom it. He grew desperate. 

I heard him yell down to me, "Can I read just for 10 minutes?" 

My answer, "No". 

He yells, "Can I have just 5 minutes to read?"

My answer, "No."

He yells, "What if I read my zoology book for school?"

My answer, "No."

A final plea of desperation, "What about the Holy Bible?"
