A stamp tells a story about the country which it comes from. You can find stamps that show almost anything. Some stamps honor special events, places, or people. As people collect these pieces of paper, no one knows how valuable(有价值的)they can become. One stamp from 1893 that celebrates Christopher Columbus is worth thousands of dollars! Stamp collecting has become popular. You can join groups and have a look at other's stamps.
 Who decides what is printed on a stamp? Many Americans come up with(提出)ideas for the pictures that go on stamps. They send their ideas to artists(艺术家),business people, and stamp collectors. They pick the best ideas and the postmaster General(首席邮政局长),the head of the Post Office, makes the final decision.

  Today, stamps have different shapes, sizes, and colors. But they still get your mail where you want it to go, just like long ago.
