Always Say, "Thank You"
Davey is a paperboy for the Weekly Star. Davey works so hard and does such a good job that he is given a gift. However, when Editor Ed tells Davey that he needs to speak to him after his paper route; Davey thinks that he will be fired.
Davey soon learns that Editor Ed wants to give him a printing press so that he can learn how to be a newspaper man and create his own newspaper. Davey is so excited that he and Goliath go home and starts to create “The Comet”.
Davey ask his mother how he can thank Editor Ed for this wonderful gift. As Davey begins to use his new printing press, he wants to do something special for Editor Ed. Davey starts getting news from around the neighborhood from his friends. As Davey is out getting news, he sees a runaway truck without a driver! Davey and Goliath decide to follow the truck to get the news scoop. Davey and Goliath present the news story to Editor Ed. While in Editor Ed’s office telling him about the news story, Editor Ed breaks his name plate. Davey gets an idea! Davey decides that he can tell Editor Ed thank you by making him a new name plate with his name and new title “Editor-in-Chief”.
Davey makes the sign and gives it to his friend. Teddy comes over to see what Davey is doing and Davey explains that he is making a “thank you” present for Editor Ed. Teddy wants to know why Davey is always telling people thank you all of the time!
Davey explains to Teddy that it is always good to say thank you when someone does something nice for us. Davey told Teddy that he would be going to church on Sunday to thank God for all of his blessings. Davey and Goliath take his friend, Editor Ed, the new name plate with the title “Editor-in-Chief”. We should always be thankful!
