    　　Then when Joey went to see the new movie " Titanic", he had an idea．" Millions of people are seeing this movie and reading about the Titanic ,” Joey thought．He remembered the old postcard with Edith Haisman 's signature on it．“Maybe I can sell it for some money．Then I can help Kate 's mom．”

    　　Joey told his mother and father about his idea to help Mrs．Shelley．His parents helped him try to sell the postcard to the person who would pay the most money for it．Joey’s story was on television and in news papers．Joey and Kate even went to New York to be on a national TV show．After the show, many people called in to offer money for the Titanic card．Someone bought it for ＄60,000．
