Barbershops Stop Boredom with Books

Barbers cut people's hair. They work in barbershops.

Many people like barbershops. They talk with the barber. They see their
friends. They relax and have fun. Oh, and they get a haircut!
很多人喜歡理髮店，可以跟師傅聊天，見見朋友，當然也是為了剪頭髮。

One day, a teacher went to his barbershop. One of his students came in. But
his student didn't have fun. He had nothing to do. He was very bored. He
wanted to go!
有一天，一位老師去剪頭髮。他的學生也在那裡。但是這個學生覺得很無聊，想要離開。

The teacher knew his student. He needed a good book to stop his boredom. Then
the teacher had a great idea!
老師知道他的學生需要看書才不會無聊。他想到一個好點子!

The teacher gave his barbershop many good kids' books. The books were free -
and fun! He wanted kids to read at the barbershop. He wanted kids to like
reading. And great news! His idea worked very well!
他捐了很多童書給理髮店，希望小朋友可以在理髮店看書，也從此喜歡看書。

Now he helps over two hundred barbershops! He gives them fun kids' books. The
barbers talk with kids about reading too. They ask "Do you like to read?" and
"How is that book?" Kids like reading and talking about books there!
這個老師捐書給兩百多家理髮店。理髮師也會問小朋友們喜不喜歡看書。

That's thousands of kids' reading books, getting a haircut, and having fun!
