“I hope so,” Victor said.
Victor also liked wring. He had a pen friend in France.       .Victor’s pen friend, Phillip, usually used new stamps to send letters. Sometimes, his mother gave him stamps to use. Once Phillip’s mother gave him a big， green stamp. It looked old. When Victor received the letter， he was very surprised. On the envelope， he looked carefully at the stamp.          .Victor was so happy. He told his sister，his mother and his father.
