Most of us trade money for entertainment.  71  But if you think you can’t have a good time

without spending lots of money, read on. You can find some new discoveries.

Remember one sentence: the best things in nature are free. If you have the eyes to find fun

around you, though you have no money, you can have a great time!

72  Stroll through busy streets and see what everybody else is doing. You will probably see

people from all over the world; you will certainly see people of every age, size, and shape, and you

will get a free fashion show, too.

Check the listings in your neighborhood newspaper. Local colleges or schools often welcome the public to hear an interesting speech or a good debate.   73  Be sure to check commercial advertisements in the newspapers, too. A flea market can provide hours of pleasant browsing. Perhaps you can find a free cooking or crafts demonstration in a department store.

74  It is always more pleasant not to have people in front of you in a museum or at a zoo. You may save some money, too, for these places often set aside one or two free admission days at slow times.

Pretend that you are a tourist traveling in this city from time to time, and get to know your city all over again including the sights that people travel miles to see.  75 

Just have a relaxed mind, and you will find entertainment no matter you have money or not.

E．It won’t cost much ready money, either.

F．With imagination and a spirit of adventure, you can easily find good entertainment at no cost at all.

G．People may be the most interesting show in a large city.
