Every morning, through the heaviest rain, the old coachman Ali walks to the town post office, as he has for more than five years, hoping for a letter from the daughter he has not heard from since her marriage. The staff mock him as a madman, and the new postmaster joins in. Sensing his time is running out, Ali hands the postmaster his life's savings and asks that the letter, when it comes, be delivered to his grave, leaving the young man with a troubling responsibility.

Why we picked it

A daily walk to the post office becomes a story about waiting and hope. A pick for anyone who knows how much a letter can mean.
