I think the main point was actually she needed a pad rather than
newspaper, so since she doesn’t have one and was desprate for one,
so she ask for newspaper instead of a pad, but when you said “don’t
have” then she just simply doesn’t have a choice as she was really
in need of one pad so she choose to be bold and ask for a pad. I
will ask from my sis and give it to her if such people approuch
me.
