Once a wicked wizard(邪恶的巫师)was on a visit to a city and stole the tongues(舌头)from the sleeping people and cast a spell(施一个咒语)on them. The spell meant that these tongues could only say bad things about people. Then the wizard returned these tongues to their owners. In very little time, that city was filled with the sound of people saying bad things about each other.
On seeing all this, the good wizard decided to do something. She cast a spell on the ears of the city people. Under this spell, no matter when the ears heard people saying bad things, they would close up so that nothing could be heard. Later, the tongues started to feel completely useless.

Several years later, England allowed a divided-back post card. Then people could write their note on the back left side and put the address on the right. During the early 1900s, the golden age of post cards, picture post cards became a craze of the world. In 1908, Americans alone mailed over 677 million post cards.
