23. The Fun They had Isaac Asimov Margie even wrote about it that night in her diary. On the page headed May 17, 2157, she wrote, "Today, Tommy found a real book!” It was a very old book. Margie's grandfather once said that when he was a little boy his grandfather told him that there was a time when all stories were printed on paper. What's it about?" asked Margie. Tommy said: "School.” it's not our kind of school, stupid. This is the old kind of school that they had hundreds and hundreds of years ago.” They had a special building and all the kids went there." "And all the kids learned the same thing?" "Sure, if they were the same age.” They didn’t have a regular teacher, I mean a mechanical teacher. It was a man. REALLY, A MAN? asked Margie. Margie was thinking about how the kids must have loved it in the old days. She was thinking about the fun they had.
