The baby books were sad. The big books were laughing at them. “You can hardly call yourselves books. You have almost no words and are filled with nothing but pictures!” said one book that had lots of pages written in tiny letters. “We won’t let them put you next to us on the shelf!”
So the poor baby books were not even given a little corner in bookshops. They ended up in warehouses（仓库）.
The big books were so happy. Only adults（成年人）would come into bookshops because there was nothing interesting for those naughty children to read. The books were no longer afraid that their pages would be torn out or dirtied（弄脏）.
Years passed and all those children who hadn’t ever visited a bookshop eventually（最终）became adults themselves.
“Now they can come in and admire our wisdom,” thought the big books.
But no. The adults who had grown up without baby books had no interest in the big books. How were they going to read so many pages all at once if they had never read anything?
The big books were sad. Bookshops were closing down one after another. Nobody was reading! The big books read and read millions of their own pages. They discovered（发现）that there was only one solution（解决办法）: They had to say sorry to the baby books and get them to come back. After realizing this, they carried out the plan immediately（立刻）.
That’s how the big books saved themselves. Children must read little by little so that they will grow up to be adults who love big books.
What can we learn from the story? Write down your ideas.

答案
We should realize that different things have their own unique value, and we can't look down on those seemingly simple and basic things. Besides, learning and growth is a gradual process. We need to start from easy, basic content and build up our ability little by little, then we can finally get the chance to accept and love more profound, difficult content. (答案不唯一，符合故事主旨即可)
解析
本题为开放性阅读感悟题，通读故事可知：内容厚重的大书起初轻视只有图画、文字极少的幼儿启蒙绘本，将它们从书店驱逐到仓库，认为这样就不会被孩子损坏书页，可从小没有接触过启蒙读物的孩子长大后完全没有阅读习惯和基础，根本对内容厚重的书籍提不起兴趣，最终书店接连倒闭，大书才意识到错误，找回绘本才挽救了所有书的处境。我们可以结合故事传递的核心道理，从尊重不同事物的价值、学习成长要循序渐进的角度作答，表达符合八年级英语水平、言之有理即可。
