I put down the book and walked toward the children to avoid the atmosphere becoming more awkward.
"Is there a book here that you want?"
Munchkin pouted. "Nope, I already have all of the encyclopedias here, and the rest of the books about dinosaurs are all for children."
I was amused by him. "Aren't you a child too?"
"But I already know all of these. I even know more than the books."
The little guy was not happy, but professional archaeology books would be too advanced for his current level.
"Why don't you come with us to listen to a
talk about chimpanzees, then?" Fred suddenly suggested.
"There would also be some information related to ancient times. Plus, there’s a close connection between the evolution of humans and gorillas. The speaker will focus on this topic, so I think you'll be interested.”
Fred said timely.
I had originally planned to take Munchkin home and look up some information on the internet, but my eyes widened after hearing Fred say so.
"Really?"
"Of course. When learning about gorillas, you can learn about what happened during the prehistoric ages and Jurassic period as well. Isn’t that when dinosaurs existed?" Fred’s words really hit the spot for
Munchkin.
The little guy immediately jumped up. "Yes, yes, I want to go."
We were in a bookstore, so he had to lower his voice, but I could still see the excitement on his face.
