One day, Jon's fourth grade class went to the library. Library day was Jon's favorite! Jon loved to read and had always been a stronger reader. He memorized all of Green Eggs and Ham by the time he was three!

As Jon and his class entered the library, Jon knew he was going to have a GREAT day. 

Once the librarian collected all of their books, the class was allowed to browse the stacks. 

Jon was so excited to read, he decided to try something new. He was going to try a sixth grader book! He searched high and low through the shelves, looking through book after book, until he finally found the PERFECT science fiction novel!

I found it!

Jon took the giant chapter book back to his seat and began to read. 

After the first page, Jon was a little bit confused, but still eager to read. 

After the second, he didn't even know the main character's name. 

Finally, after the third page, Jon had had enough!

Jon was so mad!

Why had he decided to push himself? Why did he want to read a book that was obviously too old for him? Why did he even try?

Jon knew he would be a fourth grade reader forever. There was no changing that!
