His mother used to collect newspaper clippings. When an article headline interested her, she would clip the article and store it. She never read them, never found the time to be able to do so. She knew she might not have the time to read it today, but one day, after she retires, she would sit in her rocking chair a read through all these news of the world-turning events, little cleaning advices, recipes and interviews with stars. By the time she retired, she had four big suitcases full of newspaper clippings. She died twelve years later without reading a single clipping.
