　　Short Edition, a French publishing company, may have a way out. In the French city of Grenoble, there are unusual vending machines (自动售货机) that don't sell food or drinks, they print out short stories. They were built by Short Edition and can be found near the city's town hall, train station and some other popular places. By using them, people can choose a story that will take either one, three or five minutes to read. The machines will then print stories on paper, with topics from children's stories to poems. All the stories and poems are free. They were written by members of the Short Edition company.
　　Christophe Sibieude, one of the founders (创始人) of Short Edition said his team came up with the idea while in front of a traditional vending machine. "We said to ourselves that we could do the same thing with short stories or poems to occupy these waiting moments."
　　These story-telling machines worked out well. More and more people in Grenoble got into the habit of reading short stories in their waiting time. So Short Edition decided to move forward — to build more such machines all over the country. Now the unusual machines have really walked out of Grenoble.
