#Person1#: When did you become interested in collecting stamps?
#Person2#: Oh, when I was about ten years old.
#Person1#: Ten years old? So you have loved it for 9 years.
#Person2#: Yeah, it's really an exciting hobby. You know, the first postage stamps were issued in Britain in 1840.
#Person1#: Really? I didn't know that. What's on the first postage stamps?
#Person2#: Well, look, here's a picture of the first two stamps issued.
#Person1#: Oh, they both bear a picture of Queen Victoria, don't they?
#Person2#: Yes, I wish I had the originals, then I would be a wealthy man instead of a poor stamp collector.
#Person1#: But I believe collecting stamps gives you much pleasure which not all wealthy men can enjoy.
#Person2#: Yes, I do agree.
