Zusammenfassung
Ich blätterte gerade einen Stapel ungeöffneter Briefe auf meinem Schreibtisch durch, wobei ich nach seltenen ausländischen Briefmarken Ausschau hielt, als mir ein hellroter Klebezettel ins Auge stach. Darauf stand: „Bitte benachrichtigen Sie sofort P. O., falls dieses Klebeetikett beim Versand runtergefallen ist.“
I’m seen in the country, I’m seen in the town, I’m servant of all from pauper to crown. Take one letter from me, and still my good name In spite of your action continues the same. Take from me two letters, then three and then four, My name will continue the same as before. In fact, you can take all the letters I’ve got And my name you will not have altered one jot!
