ANNIE
I’m Annie, and this is my brother, Jack.
JONAH
Can I ask you something, Annie and Jack?
ANNIE, JACK
Sure.
JONAH
How did you learn to read? I mean, you’re just kids.
ANNIE
Where we come from, most kids can read.
JONAH
Really?
JACK
Yeah, and it’s great. We read all the time, all sorts of books.
JONAH
You have more than one book?!
ANNIE
Of course. We have whole libraries. Stacks and stacks of books about everything you can imagine. And more.
JACK
So if we ever start to get bored, there’s always something new to read!
JONAH
I wish I could learn to read! Then maybe I wouldn’t feel so alone on this ship.
ANNIE
You can learn to read!
JONAH
But how?
