Don't touch them!

Oh, I'm sorry! These are "books", right?

They're the only books left in the library. They're very precious.

They fall apart at just a touch, so opening them is forbidden.

A record kept by the professors of ages past.

It contains the park's history.

We shall make an exception and show it to you.

Well, not that we think you could read these "characters".
