The Family Mail Bag

The story revolves around Luella and Francis Robinson, responsible for fetching the family mail in their small village. Their father, a reverend, instructs them strictly to handle the mailbag with care and never to open it once sealed. One day, they receive a registered letter from Aunt Maria, containing valuable gifts. Despite their father's rules, tempted by curiosity, they stop under an apple tree, open the bag, and read the letter. They find a gold coin inside but lose one in the process. Ashamed and tearful upon confessing to their father, they learn a valuable lesson in obedience and honesty, ultimately repenting and earning back their father's trust through their remorse and improved behavior.
