A duck that can help its owner sell newspapers recently attracted many curious pedestrians in Guangzhou’s Liwan District.

The duck stands on a chair at a newspaper kiosk in the city’s Baohua Road. It uses its mouth to help its master, an old man surnamed Wang, collect money or pass newspapers.

Every time Wang has a nap, the duck quacks to wake him up if some one comes to the kiosk to buy a newspaper or magazine.

Wang said he has been raising the duck for more than two years and has no intention of slaughtering or selling it.
