Olivia loved visiting the city library every weekend. She would spend hours
browsing through the shelves, looking for interesting books to read. One
Saturday, she discovered a hidden corner filled with books about space and
astronomy. Fascinated, she borrowed a book about the planets and spent the whole
week reading about them. Olivia learned many interesting facts, like how Jupiter
is the largest planet in the solar system and that Saturn has beautiful rings
made of ice and rock. She even made a model of the solar system to show her
class.
