Imagine that you wake up in the middle of the night to the sound of the fire alarm blaring. Your house is on fire! Everybody (including the pets) gets out safely, but you have just enough time to save one object from the fire. What is the object? Why is it important to you?

Answer:

I would save my favorite book.

Step-by-step explanation:

I know there are other more useful things from a practical perspective. I can do more with a laptop computer or a smartphone. However, no other object has the same value to me. My favorite book has been with me for several years. It has often transported me back into this universe of interesting characters, beautiful scenery, and intense action. It has been my refuge and sanctuary when real life was too boring or too hard to handle. Saving it from the fire would mean I would still have that possibility, I would still be able to touch - even smell - the yellowed pages, the paperback all wrinkled from being stretched under my fingers.
