[00:19.68]We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning. [00:28.02]I have been trying to get my new room in order. [00:32.53]This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books. [00:38.60]To make matters worse, [00:40.82]the room is rather small, [00:43.42]so I have temporarily put my books on the floor. [00:47.63]At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space [00:52.78]and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room. [00:58.76]A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs. [01:07.36]She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor. [01:15.29]'This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen,' she said. [01:20.55]She gazed at it for some time then added, [01:24.34]'You don't need bookcases at all. [01:26.73]You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!'
