Question

        A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in newspapers. “Last week”， said the man ,“my umbrella was stolen (偷) from a London church. As it was a gift,I spent twice its worth (價(jià)值) in advertising,but I didn't get it back."

        “Now ,” said the merchant ,“I often advertise,and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is very important. Let me write one for your umbrella,and if it fails,I'll buy you a new one."

         The merchant then took out a piece of paper and wrote： “If the man who was seen taking an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday,doesn't wish to get into trouble,he will return the umbrella to No. 5 Broad Street. He is well known."
