I once taught a junior-high reading-skills program.
Each day my students received a page of the newspaper and we discussed the news,
ads and photos.
I encouraged them to share an item I would find interesting.
One student, a shy young man, seldom joined the conversation, but he
read his pages diligently.
One day I asked him what he had found.
He said, "Did you know that all the people in the obituaries die in
alphabetical order?"
