The sun asked the dragon king to give it a "rowing rain" on the fifth day of May in order to better show the role of the radiators. The atmosphere of fighting bravely while rowing; the Dragon King asks the sun to give it a "dragon clothes drying" on the sixth day of June to make the dragon clothes even more glorious.

On the sixth day of June, he moved all the books piled at home outside to dry them, hoping to prove that he was a man who had read thousands of books and was rich in knowledge. When the scholar next door saw him, he lay down on the ground, opened his clothes, and let the sun shine on his belly.

The rich man stepped forward and asked: "What are you doing?" The scholar pointed to his belly and said, "I am posting books." The rich man said in confusion: "You didn't see it. I put my books outside to dry, why do you put them in your belly to dry them?" The scholar smiled slightly and said, "You put your books outside to dry them, but I put them inside my belly to dry them. Article." The rich man was speechless and didn't know what to say.

This is just a joke. But here’s the thing: please don’t put the book in the scorching sun, because once it’s exposed, the paper will turn yellow and become brittle, making it difficult to store.
