Mr. Tusks sent me a letter!



So guys a little while ago I got a mysterious package in the mail! It was addressed to T-Rex and it was from MR. TUSKS, with his official vice-mayoral address and everything! Apparently T-Rex has been giving out my address. This was really exciting, so I tore the package open. Inside was a magnifying glass and a still-smaller package, sealed with wax!





This package was semi-transparent, and I could see a still-smaller letter inside. Mr. Tusks had actually sent a letter all the way from Tiny Towne Island! I was suspicious when I saw the return address because THEY CAN BE FAKED, but it was TRUE. I opened this smaller package in haste, but not before stopping to examine the seal. It said, "World's Smallest Letter" and I was inclined to believe it! At this moment I was inclined to believe anything, because fictional characters I'd created were sending me letters.



Inside was Mr. Tusks' actual letter (encased in transparent plastic to protect it during shipping and to make it easy to find in the comparably voluminous envelope, I'd imagine). So tiny! It was hard to read so I used the included magnifying glass.





I opened the sheath, and there I was, holding Mr. Tusks' letter in my enormous hand, a hand that appears so large in this photograph that you could wrap yourself up in it at night like a warm blanket. The tiny latter was also sealed with a tiny bit of wax - the official wax of the vice-mayor's office, I imagine! It was exciting to be receiving letters from people in positions of such esteem.

What did I find inside? A letter! But it was extremely tiny, so I shot this through the magnifying glass supplied:



Hah hah! Oh, Mr. Tusks! You're always getting involved in some SMALL piece of mischief!

ps T-Rex I am sorry I opened your mail but not that sorry
pps: also in the package was a little card from The World's Smallest Postal Service, which is exactly what it sounds like. Mr. Tusks clearly found a good go-between for the Tiny Towne Island Postal Service and the Canadian one!
ppps: thank you to whoever it was put these events in motion! It made my day.

Yes, but it wasn't even fan mail though!

My goodness what a wonderful little letter!

Also, please use some lotion, it's -22 today in Toronto, and hands get chapped!

Also, AND, you seem to have two love lines! True they merge into one later on, but most people have one, you have two! Your head line is deep and long and promonent, as one would expect given your brainy output! But it's hard to tell your life line and fate lines apart... they are all close together, and instead of two lines there are three? Extra life or extra fate? Who can tell! :)

I actually laughed out loud when i saw what the letter said. So much suspense. And it broke like crazy.

That letter is dated December 1st! I am forced to conclude that the World's Smallest Postal Service is not very fast. But then again, I also have to assume that their legs are smaller so I suppose they are covering more ground. In a way.

Basically, I hope it is not too late to help Mr. Tusks!

Oh my god, poor Mr Tusks!

Perhaps he needs you to open a tiny bank account and give him a tiny amount of good faith money to get him out of a tiny situation so he can give you a tiny enormous sum of money.

Perhaps he is saying "Send tiny lawyers, guns, and money."

Haha, sweet. My friend was telling me about this place a few weeks ago. Evidently its way cooler than I even imagined (which is saying a lot).

I remember thinking that it'd be cool to send my grandparents a tiny letter. They already use magnifying glasses for normal ones, so they'd probably be like, "what the heeck."
