prison 刑務所;
show respect 尊敬を示す

Britain is a very old country with a long history of laws. The problem is that there are some very old, very strange laws. For example, according to British law, you can go to prison if you put a stamp upside down on an envelope. This is because British stamps have a picture of the Queen on them. If you put a stamp upside down, you are not showing the proper respect for the Queen. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

Notes:
Arkansas アーカンソー州;
make ends meet 家計をよりくりする

There is a park in the U.S. where you can look for diamonds. The state of Arkansas lets people keep the diamonds that they find at Crater of Diamonds State Park. One man has been digging for diamonds since February, but he recently took a job at a convenience store because it was hard to make ends meet. Then he found a 4.38 carat diamond. I wonder if he will quit his job when he sells it. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
