Pre-reading

Simon and I are reading Little House in the Big Woods together. The other night, he read a chapter to himself during his "flash[light] reading" time.

The next night, I set out to start reading the next chapter.

Simon: I read ahead last night to be sure that you would like it.

Me: oh?
Simon: Well, it was about guns, so I thought you wouldn't want to read it, but don't worry, it's not about war. Just hunting. Is hunting ok?

Me: Yes.

Simon: Ok, you can read it, then.
