to poor children who had no parents to take care of them. She went from apartment to apart-ment 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 $5000." 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. and then he
