        A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in newspapers. “Last week”, said the man ,“my umbrella was stolen (偷) from a London church. As it was a gift,I spent twice its worth (价值) in advertising,but I didn't get it back."

       “How did you write your advertisement?” asked one of the listeners,a merchant (商人) . 

       “Here it is”’ said the man,taking out a piece of paper from a newspaper. The merchant took it and read, “Lost from the City Church last Sunday,a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten-pounds on leaving it at No. 5 Broad Street. 

        “Now ,” said the merchant ,“I often advertise,and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is very important. Let me write one for your umbrella,and if it fails,I'll buy you a new one."

         The merchant then took out a piece of paper and wrote: “If the man who was seen taking an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday,doesn't wish to get into trouble,he will return the umbrella to No. 5 Broad Street. He is well known."

         This appeared in the newspaper,and the following morning,the man was surprised when he opened the door. In the doorway lay twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors,and his own was among them. Many had notes with them saying that they had been taken by mistake,and begging (乞求) the loser not to say anything ai) out the matter.
