When I was a child, mum would read to me every night. After a bedtime prayer, I would be tucked up in bed while mum sat on the edge of the bed. She would open a book, draw her breath and begin to read. I never had any idea whom I'd meet on those magical nights. There was Alice going through the looking glass; Robinson Crusoe on his island; Oliver Twist starving in the workhouse or Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in the lab. As the years passed, I grew up, went to universiy, and found work as a newspaper reporter. Mum grew old and frail. Now she is an invalid, confined to bed. Her body may be weak but her mind is as bright as ever. I read to her now, from some of the well-worn and dog eared books she read to me so long ago. Sometimes I think back to my childhood nights when mum would be weary after a long day's work but was never too tired to open a book and read to me. I thank God for the most precious gift I have ever received the gift of words and books. 25. Whom did the writer meet on those childhood nights? A. Neighbours B. Friends C. Ghost D.
