One of the main sources for the spreading of news and event throughout the word is
the newspapers. The purpose of newspapers is to inform the public of political, social,
economic and entertainment happenings, among other things. Generally, there are three types
of newspapers: daily newspaper, weekly newspaper, and special-interest newspaper. Daily
newspapers publish at least one edition every weekday. Most dailies also have a weekend

“ Vào một buổi chiều mùa xuân lạnh lẽo, trước cửa quán xuất hiện hai vị khách lạ, có thể
đoán là một người cha và một người con. Người cha bị mù, người con trai đi bên cạnh ân cần
dìu cha. Cậu con trai trạc mười tám, mười chín tuổi, quần áo đơn giản, lộ rõ vẻ nghèo túng, nhưng
từ cậu lại toát lên nét trầm tĩnh của người có học, dường như cậu vẫn đang là một học sinh.
Cậu con trai tiến đến trước mặt tôi. Cậu nói to: “Cho hai bát mì bò!”. Tôi đang định viết
hoá đơn, thì cậu ta hướng về phía tôi và xua xua tay. Tôi ngạc nhiên nhìn cậu ta, cậu ta chỉ tay
vào bảng giá treo ở trên tường, phía sau lưng tôi, khẽ bảo với tôi rằng chỉ làm một bát mì cho thịt
bò, bát kia chỉ cần rắc chút hành là được. Lúc đầu, tôi hơi thắc mắc, nhưng sau đó chợt hiểu ra
ngay. Hoá ra, cậu ta gọi to hai bát mì thịt bò như vậy là cố tình để cho người cha nghe thấy, tôi
đoán cậu không đủ tiền, nhưng lại không muốn cho cha biết. Tôi cười thông cảm với cậu.
Nhà bếp nhanh nhẹn bê lên ngay hai bát mì nóng hổi. Cậu con trai chuyển bát mì bò đến
trước mặt cha, thương yêu chăm sóc: “Cha, có mì rồi, cha ăn đi thôi, cha cẩn thận kẻo nóng đấy
ạ!”. Rồi cậu ta tự bưng bát mì nước về phía mình. Người cha không vội ăn ngay, ông cầm đũa dò
dẫm đưa qua đưa lại trong bát. Mãi lâu sau, ông mới gắp trúng một miếng thịt, vội vàng bỏ miếng
thịt vào bát của người con. “Ăn đi con, con ăn nhiều thêm một chút, ăn no rồi học hành chăm chỉ,
sắp thi tốt nghiệp rồi, nếu mà thi đỗ, sau này làm người có ích cho xã hội”. Người cha nói với
giọng hiền từ, đôi mắt tuy mờ đục vô hồn, nhưng trên khuôn mặt sạm nắng, nhăn nheo lại sáng
lên nụ cười ấm áp và hạnh phúc.”
Điều khiến cho tôi ngạc nhiên là người con trai không hề cản trở việc cha gắp thịt cho mình,
anh điềm nhiên nhận miếng thịt, rồi anh lặng lẽ gắp miếng thịt đó trả về bát mì của cha.
Cứ lặp đi lặp lại như vậy, dường như thịt trong bát của người cha cứ gắp lại đầy, gắp mãi
không hết. “Cái quán này thật tử tế quá, một bát mì mà biết bao nhiêu là thịt”. Ông lão cảm động
nói. Đứng bên cạnh họ, tôi chợt thấy tim mình thắt lại, trong bát chỉ có vài mẩu thịt tội nghiệp,
quắt queo bằng móng tay, lại mỏng chẳng khác gì xác ve. Người con trai nghe vậy vội vàng tiếp
lời cha: “Cha à, cha ăn mau ăn đi, bát của con đầy ắp không biết để vào đâu rồi đây này”. “Ừ, ừ,
con ăn nhanh lên, ăn mì bò là bổ dưỡng lắm đấy con ạ”.
Hành động và lời nói của hai cha con đã làm chúng tôi rất xúc động. Chẳng biết từ khi nào,
bà chủ cũng đã ra đứng cạnh tôi, lặng lẽ nhìn hai thực khách đặc biệt. Vừa lúc đó, cậu Trương đầu
 16
bếp bê lên một đĩa thịt bò thơm phức, bà chủ đưa mắt ra hiệu bảo cậu đặt lên bàn của hai cha
con nọ. Cậu con trai ngẩng đầu tròn mắt nhìn một lúc, bàn này chỉ có mỗi hai cha con cậu ngồi,
cậu ta vội vàng hỏi lại: “Anh để nhầm bàn rồi thì phải?, chúng tôi không gọi thêm thịt bò.” Bà chủ
dịu dàng bước lại chỗ họ: “Không nhầm đâu, hôm nay chúng tôi kỉ niệm ngày mở quán, đĩa thịt
này là quà biếu khách hàng”. Cậu con trai không hỏi gì thêm. Cậu lại gắp thêm vài miếng thịt vào
bát người cha, sau đó, bỏ phần còn thừa vào trong một cái túi nhựa.
Chúng tôi âm thầm quan sát hai cha con ăn xong, tính tiền, rồi dõi mắt tiễn họ ra khỏi quán.
Mãi khi cậu Trương đi thu dọn bát đĩa, chúng tôi bỗng nghe cậu kêu lên khe khẽ. Hoá ra, bát của
cậu con trai đè lên mấy tờ tiền giấy xếp gọn, vừa đúng giá tiền của một đĩa thịt bò được viết trên
bảng giá của cửa hàng.
Ta vẫn gặp trong cuộc đời nhiều người rất nghèo về vật chất nhưng lại giàu lòng tự trọng.
Lòng tự trọng giúp ta có thêm nghị lực để ngẩng cao đầu, vượt qua khó khăn, nghịch cảnh, sống
hạnh phúc vì luôn vững tin vào chính mình.

Những người lười biếng sẽ không bao giờ biết rằng chỉ trong sự lao động mới có
sự nghỉ ngơi
Không có tài sản nào quý bằng trí thông minh, không vinh quang nào lớn hơn học vấn và hiểu biết
Ngủ dậy muộn thi phí mất cả ngày, ở tuổi thanh niên mà không học tập thì phí mất cả cuộc đời.
"Thầy giáo của anh có thể dắt anh đến cửa; đạt được sự học là việc tùy thuộc vào mỗi người ."
