a woman was collecting money for a church charity. The money she collected was going to be given to poor children who had no parents to take care of them. She went from apartment to apartment and from house to house. She knocked on doors and asked for money. She always said the same thing. Good morning, I’m collecting for a church charity. Please give generously. We need $5,000. Then she held out a collecting box. Most people put a few coins in the box.

An artist lived in one of the apartments. He opened the door. “Good morning.” she said. “I’m collecting for a church charity. Please give generously. We need $5,000.” The artist thought for a moment, then he said, “I’m sorry, but I don’t have any money. However, I’ll give you a painting. It’s worth $ 400.” The woman thanked the artist and took the painting away.

A week later she called on him again. “I’m sorry to trouble you again,” she said, “but we still need more money. I need another $ 100. Can you help?” “Of course,” the artist said. “I’ll increase the value of my painting to $ 500.”

Today we can read about important things that took place in foreign countries on the same day they happened, even in countries far away. (2)         In those times, news was often passed from one person to another and was never entirely true. Newspapers today supply us with more than just what happened in our country or in other countries. (3)          

if we want to find out what films are being shown, or what plays or concerts we can go to, we can look them up in newspapers.

In many countries people put notices in newspapers if they are trying to get a job, hunting for a house that they can rent, or even looking for a person who is lost.
