- "Gee," said Tommy, "what a waste. When you're through with the book, you just throw it away, I guess. Our television screen must have had a million books on it and it's good for plenty more. I wouldn't throw it away." "Same with mine," said Margie. She was eleven and hadn't seen as much telebooks as Tommy did. He was thirteen.
- Very old book Very old book Very old book
- Same with mine.

- She said, "Where did you find it?" "In my house." He pointed without looking because he was busy reading. "In the attic." "What's it about?""School."
- What's it about?
- Where did you find it?
- In my house, in the attic.
- School
- Margie was scornful. "School? What's there to write about school? I hate school." Margie always hated school, but now she hated it more than ever.
- School?! What's there to write about school? I hate school!
- The mechanical teacher had been giving her test after test in geography and she had been doing worse and worse until her mother had shaken her head sorrowfully and sent for the County Inspector.
- Geography testFAILED
- Aww, poor Margie. She's been failing her tests lately. I think I should call the county inspector
- He was a round little man with a red face and a whole box of tools with dials and wires. He smiled at Margie and gave her an apple, then took the teacher apart. Margie had hoped he wouldn't know how to put it together again, but he knew how all right, and, after an hour or so, there it was again, large and black and ugly.
- I bet the County Inspector can't fix the teacher back so that I can get rid of this filthy robot!
- The inspector had smiled after he was finished and patted Margie's head. Margie was disappointed. She had been hoping they would take the teacher away altogether. They had once taken Tommy's teacher away for nearly a month because the history sector was blanked out completely.
- It's not the little girl's fault, Mrs. Jones. I think the geography sector was geared up a little too quick. Those things happen sometimes. I've slowed it up to an average 10 year level. Actually, the overall pattern of her progress is quite satisfactory.
- Stop patting my head!
