After you stamp your letter and drop it into the postbox, what happens next?
How often is mail collected from your nearest box?
Where is it taken?
Do you know where the sub-station for your neighborhood is?
To what place is your letter taken from the sub-station?
How does it travel?
How are the mails sorted on trains?
When your letter reaches the city where its owner lives, who helps to find its owner?

How often does the postman deliver mail in your neighborhood?
Is your postman an honest, punctual, careful man? Why should he be?
Is his work easy? Why not?
