One morning a young woman, who had just lost her first job, was reading newspapers in her room.She read very carefully and tried to find another job.At last, she found a piece of good news, so she was very happy.At once she called her mother, who was in the kitchen.
“Listen to this, mother!” She cried, “I have found an easy way to earn money.” “What is it?” her mother asked, coming into the room.“Listen”, said the girl, and read the news, “Do you want to earn money? Give me one pound together with a stamp to earn money.” “Send me one pound together with a stamp and then tell me where you live, you will receive a letter showing you how to earn hundreds of pounds when you stay at home.”
“I don't believe that”, said the mother, “you will only lose one pound and two stamps; if he knows how to do that, why does he do it himself? Why does he need to say it in the newspaper? You won't get an answer.” “Well, mother, one pound isn't much” she said, “I can try!” With these words she went to the post office.
Two or three days later, she received a letter.There were only four words on a small piece of paper “Do as I do.”
