Once upon a time, there was a student named Tim who was getting ready to graduate and receive his diploma. He was so excited that he decided to make a scrapbook of all the special things from his time in school. He collected his diploma, articles from the school magazine, postcards from his friends, and even saved old emails from his teachers.

One day, Tim was assigned a project for his history class. He had to create a menu from a famous restaurant from the past. He went to the library and found an article about the restaurant in an old magazine. He also found a postcard from someone who visited the restaurant and wrote about their experience. Tim used all of these items to create a beautiful menu, complete with pictures and descriptions of the food.

At the end of the project, Tim’s teacher was so impressed that she gave him an A+! Tim was so proud of his work that he decided to make a copy of the menu and send it to his family. He put it in an envelope and wrote a note on the back of a postcard. He then went to the post office and sent it off.

A few days later, Tim received an email from his parents. They were so happy to receive the menu and they said that they were going to frame it and hang it up in their kitchen. Tim felt so happy knowing that his hard work was appreciated.

The next day, Tim received a bill in the mail for the postage. But he didn't mind because it was worth it to see the smile on his parents' faces. From then on, whenever Tim looked at his diploma or the menu, he would remember all the hard work and fun times he had during his time in school. The end.
