A boy found himself at a public book box where people would leave their old books.

A girl surprised a boy so much that the door slammed on his hand and he dropped his book.
And then they laughed about how books bring people together.
The end.

Nice idea, sweetly rendered. An old British phone booth would make a great book box-almost a mini-library!
