Mr. Postman

     Once upon a time there was an ant known as Mr. Postman.  He did his job in a lively sort of way.  He trundled along with his mail.
     One day he met a bee.  It stung him.  End of story you think, but no, he finished his route and went home and lay in bed, sneezing and coughing, for it had given him a cold, that bee.  Amen to that you think, but no, he lived and was much the wiser.  He never met with a bee again, you think, but yes.  But he avoided them like a plague.  Amen to that you think, but no, he had to as part of his job, for they were on his route and had to receive mail too.
