A

Samuel was back at the thrift shop（舊貨店）. He had walked into the shop with only one goal in mind—to find a book that he had NOT bought yesterday. The book was one of seven that he had planned to buy yesterday. But at the last moment, he changed his mind. He put all seven back on the shelf.

Samuel had a personal library at home with over 1,000 books, almost all unread. He had more reading material in his small house than he could finish in two lifetimes. But he couldn’t help himself buying more books. He finally put his foot down. Not one more book, he told himself, unless it was really special. Yesterday’s book fit the bill. It was a biography（傳記）of one of his favorite authors—Stephen King. King was one of America’s most popular fiction authors. Samuel wanted to be a great writer. King was his role model.

Within minutes, Samuel found all the books that he had chosen yesterday except one—the Stephen King book. “What a surprise,” he thought. “the book that I really want to find is the one book that I can’t find.” Samuel took a walk throughout the store, knowing that people often pick up a book in one place and then leave it in another place. The book was a thick paperback with a red cover. But it was nowhere to be found.

So for Samuel, the big search was on. He was now a man on a mission. Every thrift shop he went to would be a search for the King book. This new search added purpose to his thrift shop life.

Samuel had held something special in his hands except that biography. But only when he let it go did he realize its value. When he found it again, he would place the King book prominently（顯眼地）on his bookshelf. It would almost certainly be his favorite book that he never got around to reading.
