One afternoon, my neighbour's children were playing hide-and-seek in the street just
out side the post office. Young Raju, who is only five years old, found the perfect place

to hide. His sister, Radha, had shut her eyes and was counting up to ten when Raju
noticed that the small metal door of the letter box had been left open. The postman
had just taken all the letters out and had gone into the post office to see if there were
any parcels. Raju climbed into the letter box and pulled the door from inside so hard
that it locked. Upon realising¹ what he had done, he became very frightened and
started crying.

Meanwhile, Radha was looking for him everywhere, but could not find him. It was
lucky she happened to stop outside the letter box and hear her brother's cries. She
immediately ran to tell the postman who hurried out to unlock the metal door. Raju
was now free, but he had such a fright that he could not stop crying. The postman,
however, soon found a way of making him laugh again. He told him that next time he
wanted to enter a letter box, he should remember to affix* a stamp on himself!

Answer the following questions briefly:

1. What were the children playing outside the post office?
2. Where did Raju hide?
3. Where was the postman?
