Объяснение
A book is the work and knowledge of other people. We must take it, read it and return it on time and whole. The textbook has the story “Kitobning qimmati” (The value of a book) by Xudoybergan Shomurodov, where one book passes from hand to hand through a whole class and in the end gets torn. We do not repeat it; we read our own text. Library rules: hold the book with clean hands, do not write in it, do not tear pages and return it by the due date.
Примеры
“A meeting at the library”. The school librarian, Aunt Mohira, gave Jahongir a storybook and said: “Return it after two weeks.” Jahongir carefully put the book in his bag and read it at home with clean hands. His little brother wanted to draw a picture on one page, but Jahongir stopped him. Before the term ended he returned the book and asked for another. Aunt Mohira said: “I am happy that you value books.”
Library rules: clean hands, no writing in it, return on time.
