“Where does Uncle Sam get his money?” asked Bobby.
“This is one way he gets money for the work,” answered Mother. “Uncle Sam sells postage stamps. Every time we buy a stamp we help Uncle Sam pay for carrying the mail.”
“I didn’t know that before,” said Betty.
“I didn’t know it,” said Bobby.
“Some day I’ll buy a postage stamp. I’ll send a letter and help Uncle Sam. I’ll help him pay his men who take care of the mail.”
For study and play:
“Good morning, Mister Postman,
Your bag is full I see;
I’m looking for a letter,
Have you anything for me?”
