:05:27
- Where are the children's books?
- In that room.
:05:32
- Would you like me to pick out one?
- No, thank you. I can manage.
:05:54
From then on, every day,
Matilda walked to the library.
:06:02
She devoured one book after another.
:06:09
When she finished all the children's
books. She searched for others.
:06:15
Mrs. Phelps, who had been
watching herwith fascination, -
:06:19
- offered Matilda some information.
:06:22
You can have your own library card,
and take books home.
:06:27
- You can take as many as you like.
- That would be wonderful.
:06:37
Matilda's strong mind continued
to grow, nurtured by the authors -
:06:44
- who had sent their books out into
the world, like ships onto the sea.
:06:57
The books gave Matilda a comforting
message: You are not alone.
