Read together

At the tiny book corner, Pip made a sign: ‘Ask me anything!’ The first visitor asked where the socks lived. The second asked whether clouds had pockets. Pip laughed, then noticed the new reader still needed a quiet place. Pip made a smaller sign: ‘Window seat or cushion away from the door?’ This time the visitor could answer. A smaller question had done a useful job.
