The Postman

    The Postman

A person delivering letters and parcels is a postman.  He is a low-paid government employee. He is a familiar figure because he is often seen in the villages and towns.  He has a uniform. He puts on a Khaki uniform. Sometimes, he carries an umbrella to protect himself from the sun and the rain. He rides on a bicycle  because it helps him to perform his duties easily.  A postman bears a bag over his shoulder.  Letters, parcels and other things are safely carried in it.  Every day he opens the mail bag, sorts letters, parcels and money orders. Then he goes from door to door to deliver the postal articles to the right person. He works regularly in foul or fair weather.  People eagerly wait for the arrival of the postman because he brings to them messages of great happiness or sorrow.  His negligence of duties may cause great harm to people. So, he is an important person.
