Text: The newspaper boy.My name is Andrew. Im fourteen, and I am a newspaper boy. Every morning before school, I deliver

newspapers, so I have to get up early. I go to the newspaper shop which is near my home. I must be there by 7

oclock. The shopkeeper gives me the newspapers for about 20 customers at a time. I put the papers into a bag

and I go as fast as I can on my bicycle.There are lots of different newspapers and the right one has to go to the

right customer. Then I go back for another 20 newspapers. I deliver about 100 newspapers a day. I must be quick,

because school starts at 9 oclock.

I get 15 francs for every newspaper that I deliver. So I get about 6000 francs a week.At Christmas, customers give me a present of money. So its not a bad job. Theres a prize each year for the best
