In a small village in England about 150 years ago,a mail coach was standing on the street. Around the coach many people were talking to one another about it.
Mail coach did not come to that village so often in those days. People had to pay a lot of money to get a letter. The person who sent the letter did not have to pay. The person who got the letter had to pay the money.
“ Here's a letter for Miss Alice Brown ,” said the mailman. Everyone turned to a girl of about eighteen who was standing by the coach. “I'm Alice Brown ,” she said in a low voice. The mailman gave her the letter.
Alice looked at the envelope for a minute,and then handed it back to the mailman.
“I'm sorry I can't take it, ” she said. “I don't have enough money to pay the postage. ”
The people standing around were very sorry for the girl. They were silent for a while. Then a gentleman came up to the mailman and paid the money for Alice's letter.
When the gentleman gave her the letter,she said with a smile, “Oh,thank you very much， sir. This letter is from the young man Pm going to marry. His name is Tom. He went to London to look for work. He has to get enough money for our marriage. I've waited a long time for this letter， but now I don't need it. I don't have to open the envelope because there is nothing inside. ”
“Really?” the gentleman said in surprise. “ How do you know that?” “ He told me that he would put some signs on the envelope. Look,sir,this cross in the comer means that he is well,and this circle means he has found work. That's very good news. ”
The gentleman was Sir Rowland Hill. He did not forget Alice and her letter.
“ The postage to be paid by the receiver has to be changed”’ he said to himself. He thought and thought for many years. At last he had a good plan.
“The postage has to be much lower”’ he said. ‘‘What about a penny (便士) for a letter? And the person who sends the letter pays the postage. He has to buy a stamp and put it on the envelope. ”
