Have you ever heard of a post office that fits in a phone box? In the US state of Oregon(俄勒冈州),there's a tiny post office,only 1.2 meters wide and 1.5 meters tall. It was built in 1940 because the nearest post office was too far for local farmers.
For over 80 years,this little post office has been serving people here. A kind lady named Mrs Lee has worked there for 20 years. She sorts letters,sells stamps,and even chats with villagers who stop by. Once,a tourist from Japan traveled 10,000 kilometers just to send a postcard from here. The postcard had a picture of the tiny office,and the tourist said it was "the cutest travel memory."
Though it's small,the post office is full of warmth. Villagers often leave snacks for Mrs Lee,and she shares fresh flowers from her garden with them. It's not just a place to send mail but a little corner where people connect.

你听说过能装进电话亭的邮局吗?在美国俄勒冈州,有一个很小的邮局,只有1.2米宽,1.5米高。它建于1940年,因为最近的邮局对当地农民来说太远了。
80多年来,这个小邮局一直在为这里的人们服务。一位名叫李太太的善良的女士在那里工作了20年。她整理信件,卖邮票,甚至和路过的村民聊天。有一次,一个日本游客走了一万公里,就为了从这里寄一张明信片。明信片上有一张小办公室的照片,游客说这是“最可爱的旅行记忆”。
邮局虽小,却充满了温暖。村民们经常给李夫人留零食,她也会和他们分享自己花园里的鲜花。它不仅仅是一个发送邮件的地方,也是一个人们联系的小角落。
