Spoiler shield

Children often tear off the beautiful illustrations from the books in the children's library while others are not paying attention. The walls of his house are covered with various illustrations that he secretly tore. One day, when he posted a picture of a woodpecker that he had just stolen on the wall, he had a quarrel with the small animals on the wall. The small animals asked to go back to the library, but he refused to let them do so.
