A[b] liberal librarian [/b]should be[b] liable [/b]for the [b]library[/b]'s safety. Mr. Hall was a high[b] level [/b]qualified[b] librarian[/b]. He had his [b]license[/b] for 10 years. The days started to [b]lengthen [/b]in March. Mr. Hall spent more time in the [b]library[/b]. After work, he used[b] lens(透镜) [/b]to make telescopes. One afternoon, he heard some steps. He followed then found[b][i] no less than [/i][/b]three books were stolen. Mr. Hall moved a lever to close the door first. Then he chased（追赶） the thief, frightening him at the same time, "Stop or I will [b][i]let off [/i][/b]the gun!" He caught the thief with a cord but was surprised to find it was a boy. The boy cried, "[b][i]Let go [/i][/b]of my hand!" Mr. Hall[b][i] let out [/i][/b]the cord to [b][i]let [/i][/b]the boy [b][i]loose[/i][/b]. The boy [b][i]let down [/i][/b]his fist. His fear had already [b]lessened. [/b]Mr. Hall[b][i] let [/i][/b]the boy [b][i]in[/i][/b] his office. The boy spoke in whisper[b] lest [/b]Mr. Hall would blame him. He said he had not enough money for food,[b][i] let alone [/i][/b]books. Mr. Hall[b][i] let out [/i][/b]a sigh. He had a[b] liberal [/b]mind. Compared with stealing money, stealing book was the [b]lesser[/b] evil. He said to the boy, "If you are a [b]liar,[/b] you will [b][i]let[/i][/b] me [b][i]down[/i][/b]. Every one is[b] liable [/b]to error when he is poor. I [b][i]let [/i][/b]you [b][i]off [/i][/b]this time. You hold no [b]liability[/b] of damages." Mr. Hall [b]liberated [/b]the boy from fear .The boy gained his[b] liberty[/b]. To his surprise, the[b] liberal librarian [/b]even gave him some money! The boy left with grateful tears.
