The scene is set with the hustle and bustle of communications and postal services in full swing. Young boys, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, are seen making their way through the crowded city streets.

The boys' uniforms, with their smart hats adorned with badges, are a testament to their dedication and commitment to their roles. Their youthful energy and determination are evident as they navigate the busy streets, skillfully maneuvering through traffic and pedestrians.
