"Customers are taking a piece of history with them, something that brings back a happy memory or sparks their imagination."Which lines from the poem "Don't Go Into the Library" contain a SIMILAR idea?

1. You may not come out/ The same person who went in. (lines 23-24)
2. And those no-nonsense, all muscle/ Greyhounds and Dobermans, (lines 8-9)
3. You know what will happen./ It's like a pet story or a bakery--- (lines 3-4)
4. Cuddly when they're young,/ But then the first page is turned. (lines 11-12

The lines from the poem "Don't Go Into the Library" that contain a similar idea to "Customers are taking a piece of history with them, something that brings back a happy memory or sparks their imagination" are:

4. Cuddly when they're young,/ But then the first page is turned. (lines 11-12)

These lines suggest that there is an initial warmth and imagination associated with stories (like pets) when one begins reading, but as the story progresses ("the first page is turned"), there may be a shift in meaning or perception, similar to how customers take away memories or nostalgic feelings from a visit.
