There is a place in New York City called Greenwich
Village. It is a village that is part of the big city. The village
has many small streets and is full of old apartment blocks.
It is a cheap place to live because the rent is not too high.
Many poets and artists live there because they are poor. It
is hard to make money as an artist.
It is easy to get lost in this village because there are
so many small streets. Sometimes, people come and look
for the artists who live there. They want the artists to pay
them for paints and paper. Because they get lost, these
people cannot find the artists. Then the artists don’t have
to pay them.
