Talking newspaper

I was born in a newspaper factory. One day a man put me into a box with other newspapers and sent us to a shop. The shop keeper kept us in the shop. One day a famous man came into the shop and saw me and took me away with him. I had beautiful pictures in my paper and discussions. I was very successful because I could give advice and had knowledge of school curriculums. I’m valuable to society because I report accidents, floods, sports and new discoveries. My work is fruitful and I play an important role in influencing people’s minds.
