Being an only child, there was not much that
Thahirah could do when she was alone. Reading
her books made her life seemed so much more
interesting. She read so much that she earned
the nickname 'bookworm'. Because of all the
reading that she did, her grasp of the English
Language was so good that no one in her level
could ever beat her at it. Her teachers were
all so proud of her. They especially enjoyed her
compositions as she had a very good imagination
and could write very well. One day, a surprise
waited for Thahirah in school. her teacher had
shown some of her compositions to a friend of
hers who was book publisher. The publisher
was so impressed with Thahirah's writing that he
offered Thahirah the chance to write her own
novel. Thahirah wasn't so sure at first whether
she had the talent to write a novel. But with
her teacher's encouragement she agreed. A few
months later, Thahira's book was published and
put on sale. They sold like hotcakes ! Everyone
was proud of her and Thahirah discovered that
this was what she wanted to be -- an author. |
