On the real line, try the algebra A generated by all intervals
of the type [a,b). Can you find the interval (0,1) in it?
(It is in the sigma-algebra generated by A.)
(And you can do the proving yourself.)

(Or: in the positive integers, the algebra generated by finite subsets...)

Thank you very much. I got the idea.
