Do fight against painting pollution

However, many of the young readers are getting interested in such 27 reading, which 28 them what they should pay for their breakfast and brings them nightmares and immoral ideas in 29 . Homework is left 30 and daily games lost.
These sellers stand about on streets selling their papers well. The writers, publishers and printers, 31 they are, we never know, are 32 their silent money.
The sheep-skinned wolf’s story seems to have been forgotten once again. Why not 33 this kind of thing? Yes, both teachers and parents have asked each other for more strict control of the young readers. 34 , the more you want to forbid it, the more they want to have a look at it. 35 you may even find several children, driven by their curious natures, 36 one patched paper, which has traveled from hand to hand.
