Joseph was in the library, waiting for his dad.
He was kneeling on the floor by the Oversize Books Section, reading
An Illustrated History of Football.
Then he heard the beep of a car horn.
"That's your dad," said Helen, who was in his class at school.
"He sounds in a hurry."
"He always is," said Joseph.
"Sometimes I wish you could change dads, the way you can change library books."
