Peter was an English boy. His hobby was collecting stamps. He had stamps from many countries. Peter’s favorite stamps came from France. He had every French edition (版本) from 1960 to 2006 except a 1974 special edition stamp. It was very hard to find. He looked for it everywhere --- even in stores, at street markets and on the Internet. He asked his friends and relatives to help him. But nobody could find the stamp. It made Peter very sad.

“Don’t worry. Please have patience (耐心).” his father said to him. “You’ll find it one day.”

“I hope so,” Peter said.

Peter also liked making friends. He had a pen friend named Victor who was in France. They wrote to each other every month. Victor knew Peter liked collecting stamps. One day Victor’s mother Laura gave him an old French stamp. It was a big, green one. He used it to post a letter to Peter.

As soon as Peter received the letter, he looked carefully at the stamp. He was very amazed to see that it was the 1974 special edition stamp. Peter was so happy! He told the good news to his sister and his parents.

“You see,” his father said. “You did found the stamp in the end. So you know, it’s good to have two things in life.”

“What are they?” Peter asked.

“Friends and patience!” his father answered.
