What is the name of this short science fiction story?


It was something I read years ago by a famous science fiction writer

It had these two kids in the future finding a book and not knowing what it is because books become obsolete
Even more confusing it was in a book “50 Short Science Fiction Tales by a variety of authors. In fact, it was the first story in the book.

I do have the book somewhere, but it might be in my old room at my parents’ house
It wasn’t Henry Kuttner. It would be a name anyone would recognize like Isaac Asimov or H.G. Wells. In fact, it might even be one of them but Wikipedia was no help
davches - YES! Thanks to both of you

To all authors out there: How often do you encounter writer’s block?


I just want to know how many people encounter this. To us, it is our greatest fear.

I, myself, hardly ever encounter writer’s block. My head is always filled with ideas, so it doesn’t happen to me much. How about you?
