More About mailman

Long ago, people sent letters by horse or on foot. Then, the post office was made. Now, mailmen help us every day. They are very important for our mail.

Mailmen help us stay in touch with friends and family. They bring us news and fun things. We can send gifts and cards too!

In the future, mailmen may use cool tools. They might have robots to help them. But they will still be our friends who bring us mail!
