Suddenly, a(n) 65 went through his mind, "The kids should go on getting their free 66 by having to read a book to me."

After the haircut, they'd 70 the books, from the characters and vocabulary to the themes-just like in school, only more fun.

Holmes added, "I, too, 74 the free snip-and-reads. Last month, there was a seven-year-old boy, Bob, who tried hard to read through his book, stumbling over words, and then I asked the boy to take the book home and practice. 75 the kid came back a few days later, he read it with no problems. That inspires(鼓舞) me, "said Holmes.
