珍妮戈登是一个非常温和漂亮的女子,婚前有很多男子热恋她。
其中有些人还给她写信,说她是那样的迷人,他们是多么爱她,还想娶她。
珍妮把这些信都保存着,用一根红带子捆起来,安放在一个旧盒子里。婚姻幸福美满,她后来也就没再看过那些信。但作为她过往生活的一部分,她也就不想把它们扔了。
后来珍妮生了个女儿,叫苏。转眼苏就六岁了。
一天,珍妮有事要出去半小时光景,只能把苏单独留在家里。
“要做个乖孩子哦,”她对女儿说:“安安静静地玩,不要吵。如果你要点什么,就问对门的阿姨要”。
后来,珍妮回家了,问苏:“你在家乖吗”?
“乖的,妈妈”苏回答道。
“那我不在家的时候,你做什么呢”?珍妮问苏。
“我扮邮递员玩”。苏告诉妈妈。
“可是你没有信啊,亲爱的,你怎么扮邮递员玩啊”?珍妮问道。
“哦,信我有啊,妈妈”苏说,“我发现楼上旧盒子里有一些信,它们是用红线捆起来的。我就在我们这条街的每一个邮筒里都放上了一封信。我乖吧?”
