Row 1: the whole text is about children and neighbours who meet every Saturday in the park and swap books, toys and games, so the main idea is "Neighbours share things at a weekly swap in a park." Row 2: the text says the idea started when Mira wanted a new book but her family could not afford one, so the detail is "A girl wanted a book that her family could not buy." The statements about selling toys and a library book sale are not in the text: nobody spends any money, and the library is only the place where the park is.
