While playing hide and seek
Ian`s neighbor`s children love playing hideand seek as all children do, but no one expected
that a game they played last week would be reported in the local newspaper.
One afternoon the children were playing in the street just outside the post office. Young Ian,
who is only five years old, found the perfect place to hide. His sister, Janet, had shut her eyes and
was counting up to ten when Ian noticed that the small metal door of the letter box had been left
open. Ian climbed into the letterbox and pulled the door from the inside so hard that it locked.
Soon realizing what he had done, he became very frightened and started crying. Meanwhile,
Janet was looking for him everywhere but could not find him. It was lucky she happened to stop
outside the letter box and hear her brother`s cries. She immediately ran to tell the postman who
hurried out to unlock the metal door. Ian was now free, but he had had such a bad fright that he
could not stop crying. The postman, however, soon found a way of making him laugh again. He
told him that next time he wanted to hide in a letterbox he should remember to stick a stamp on
himself!
