Max gives Liesel a book that he wrote himself as a birthday gift. The significance of the story is how Max and Liesel becomes friends. He tells how everyone in his life stood over him. He then tells how one day someone else stood over him, which was Liesel. "I slept there for a long time. Three days, they told me... and what did I find when I woke up? Not a man, but someone else, standing over me"(Zusak 230). He then realized they had a lot of things in common and how Liesel made him feel better about himself. So then he tells how it makes him understand that the best standover man he has ever know wasn't a man at all and tells how they ended up becoming friends. "Now I think we are friends, this girl and me. On her birthday it was she who gave a gift to me"(Zusak 235).
