It`s a short story about a girl who writes a horrible letter to her boyfriend because she has seen him having dinner with a young pretty girl. Then she regrets having posted that that letter and wants it back. She waits for the postman to arrive not far Hawai from the pillar box. When she sees the postman she approaches him and asks him politely to give her letter back to her. At first, he strongly refuses to do it so because he might lose hisjob. In fact, he is asked to break one of the firmest regulations at the Post Office. She uses her feminine ways to try and make the postman help her. They exchange opinions about the concept of love which are completely different from one another since both characters belong to different generations. While the postman belongs to the ´´ valentine generation`` in which lovers used to send each other Valentines and give one another keepsakes, the girl belongs to a younger generation in which love is freer and physical appearance and sexual attraction are thought to be more important.
I fully recommend you this good story in which you will clearly see marked differences between two different generations including ideas, values, feelings, opinions and interests.

It would be very nice to know who the writer of this story is.

ReplyDeleteI read that short story, and I was in a temper when I realized that the feminine character got manipulative, while the postman tried to make her understand how respectfully she should be treated when love exists in a relationship. But If I had been able to continue the story, I would have made the postman regret and pay for his actions.
