Chapter 20
"Extry, extry! Mayah involved wit arresting of illegal smugglahs!"
Spot was holding a stack of papes, all of which had the headline that said 'Mayor involved with the arresting of food smuggler.' It was custom for the newsies to change the papes' headlines when they weren't very good. And it worked too. Many people stopped by to buy a pape from him.
"Thankee sir, much obliged to ya,"
It was getting late. Not many people were left walking down the street where Spot was selling anymore. But he wouldn't stop. There was going to be a lot more papes to sell before Spot would be able to earn the money for that paint set he saw at the shop. There wasn't much time left. It was only a week before the day of Bristles' birthday arrived, and he couldn't turn down this chance to prove to her he really did care for her. Seeing that mostly everyone had left, he took his stack of papes and head off for another street, ignoring completely what the others would think.
