Let me think…
Ok, a text book is printed on paper and… damn! A novel is printed on paper, too.
A text book has words in it and…. damn! Foiled again. A novel also has words.
You read text books in school and…. damn! You read novels in school, too.
Oh, oh, I know. A text book has a copyright date!
[flip, flip, flip]
Double damn! Novels have a copyright, too! The nerve!
You know what? I give up. Tell your teacher there are no differences between a novel and a text book. Tell your teacher that Wundayatta said so!
