“Come on, Daily News!” called Jason, carrying some newspapers under his arm. The little boy was running up and down the street, but twenty papers were still not sold. This was his first day of selling newspapers. He was in bad mood. It was getting dark and fewer people were in the street. He had to go home with the rest papers instead of money. He hoped to make more money to buy a cake for his mother’s birthday. But he failed to sell all his papers. He broke down and cried on the way back.

“You don’t know the secret of selling papers.” Another newsboy Jim told Jason and taught him to shout loudly, “Hot news! More exciting news is on!”

“But it’s not in the paper at all.” replied Jason.

“Right, then just run away quickly before they have time to see.” Jim said.

It was really a new idea to Jason. He thought of the cake for his mother, but at last decided not to tell a lie. Though he was poor, he was taught to be honest by his mother.

The next afternoon, Jason went to the office for his papers again. With a proud smile, Jim announced that he sold sixty the day before. He added that Jason lost the chance of getting more money because he was too foolish.

“You wouldn’t tell a lie yesterday, my boy?” A gentleman at the office came up and said. “You are just the boy I am looking for.” A week later, Jason started his new job. He lost the sale of twenty papers, but got a well-paid job because he told the truth.
