The Postman

The postman is a useful public servant. He wears a khaki uniform. He carries a bag on his shoulder. In it he keeps letters and cash. H brings letters, parcels and money orders for us. He takes the mail from the post – office in the morning. Then he goes from door to door to deliver it. Sometimes, he brings good news and sometimes, bad news. We all wait for him daily. He lives a very hard life. He gets very few holidays. His work is hard. His pay is very small.

He gets a small pension after his full service. A postman must be honest, dutiful and polite. He should also be strong and healthy. He should also be insured as he has to face dangerous situations. In far-flung rural areas, he has to cross rivers and thick forests When he carries money orders, his risks increase all the more.

He deserves our sympathy and regard. He has very few holidays and his hours of work are long and difficult We must give him better treatment and salary.
