A little story about Simon the Snake

Simon is a snake who loves to read. He especially loves fantasy books and has read the Harry Potter series many times. Snakes play key roles in these stories! The only challenge Simon has when reading is turning the pages, but that doesn’t stop him from enjoying his favorite books.
