Once upon a time there was a little boy who made a valentine.

When the valentine was finished, the little boy put it into an envelope.

Last of all, he put a stamp up in the right-hand corner of the envelope.
最后他在信封的右上角贴上了邮票。
The little boy was in such a hurry to send the valentine on its journey that he did not stick the stamp on very well.

Quickly he ran to the mail box at the street corner, pulled down the handle, and pushed the envelope through the opening.

"Please take this valentine to the little girl on the farm," said the boy to the mail box.

Then he ran back to his home.
