Jenny Gordon was a very kind and beautiful woman and before she married, many
men were in love with her.#
Many of them wrote to her, telling her how wonderful she was, how much they
loved her and wanted to marry her.#
Jenny kept all these letters. She tied them up with a red ribbon and put them
away in an old box. She never looked at them as she was happily married,
however, they were a part of her life and she did not want to throw them away.#
Jenny had a daughter, Sue. Sue was six.#
One day, Jenny had to leave Sue alone for half an hour.#
"Now be a good girl," she said. "Play quietly. If you need anything, go to the
lady next door."#
When she retured home, she asked Sue, "Have you been a good girl?"#
"Oh, yes, Mommy," Sue said.#
"What did you do while I was out?" Jenny asked her.#
"I played mailman," Sue told her.#
"How could you play mailman. darling?" Jenny asked."You didn't have any
letter."#
"Oh, yes I did, Mommy," Sue said. "I found some in an old box upstairs. They
were tied up with a red ribon. I put one in every mailbox in the street.
Wasn't I a good girl?"&
