Widgets

I don’t quite get how widgets can be added to a page. I’ve added a page called Home, then started a tailor edit. I see a widget icon in the sidebar, and I move it onto the page. Then the text in the widget says to select a widget. When I shift-click on it, I get a selection of widget areas–sidebar, footer 1, and footer 2. Sidebar has several widgets, so if I select sidebar, all the widgets in sidebar get moved into the widget area on my page. But, I don’t want them all, just one, say calendar. Why can’t I select the widget I want, like with a traditional wp site? Why do I have to select from the existing widget areas instead of an individual widget?
