Story 3 "To Read"

A young girl grows up in an upper class, over educated home. She shows good intelligence and seems to be maturing well, but when her classmates start to read, she is unable to catch up. Her parents and teachers try many different things, but she strangely brings up words not on the page. Her parents get her a reading specialist, who is surprised to see that she understands all the letters and even the words. But when she is asked to read she gets stuck. So the teacher hands her a doctor suess book and asked her to read. The girl says "which book?" The teacher said the doctor suess book and the girl is able to read it. The teacher is so surprised by her question the girl asked that she thinks about it all night and even has a dream about it. The next day the same thing happens. The teacher decides to have her read "the other book" and the girl surprisingly reads an entirely different book, this one about Dr suess the person, actually Theodor Geisel,his difficult life in the depression, his rejection many times as an author. The teacher was amazed. This girl didn't have a reading problem, at least a normal one. She had a problem of finding a story beneath the words.
