rather

Most people would rather be doing almost anything rather than studying. Not Jenny Lyn, she loved to study and to learn. Having no particular profession in mind and with no money worries, Jenny had already collected 5 degrees and was working on the 6th the day she walked into the campus library for the last time.

Way back in a seldom used corner of the massive library a softly glowing light caught the curiosity of this professional student. While investigating the light, she stumbled across a slender golden book that had fallen to the floor. As she reached down to pick the book up she realized that it had fallen open. As her hand approached the book she became disoriented and began to fall. As she fell, tumbling into the book and sliding down a golden tunnel she thought ‘I would rather be studying.’
