　　Any mistake, which is made in the printing of a stamp, raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on a two-penny stamp has made it worth a million and a half times its face value.

　　    Do you think it possible? However, it is true.

　　    The mistake was made more than 100 years ago in Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean, which was a British colony（殖民地）at that time. In 1847, an order (定单)for stamps was sent to London. Thus Mauritius became the fourth country in the world which had the stamps made in other countries.

　　    Before the order was filled ,that is, the stamps arrived from England, a big dance party was planned by the commander-in-chief (总司令) of all the armed forces on the island. The party would be held in his house and letters of invitation would be sent to all the important people in Mauritius. So stamps were badly needed to post the letters. Therefore, an islander, who was a good printer, was told to copy the pattern of the stamps. He carelessly put the words “Post Office” instead of “Post Paid”, two words seen on the stamps at that time, on several hundred that he printed.
