Maya walks home after work. On a quiet street, she sees a blue box on a post. It has books inside. A sign says, “Take a book. Leave a book.”

Maya opens the box. She finds a story about a baker. She takes it home. That evening, she reads it with a cup of tea.

The next day, Maya looks at her shelf. She has a book about plants. She finished it last month. She puts the book in her bag.

On her way home, Maya stops at the blue box again. She leaves the plant book there. A man takes it and smiles. Maya smiles too. Now she has a new story, and someone else has a book.
