How did Jane receive a letter from a
stranger?
My
daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a
letter from a girl
of
her
own
age
in
Holland.
Last
year,
we
were
travelling
across
the
Channel and Jane put a
piece of paper with her name and address on it
into a bottle. She threw the bottle
into the sea. She never thought of it
again, but ten months later, she
received a letter from a girl in Holland.
Both
girls
write
to
each
other
regularly
now.
However,
they
have
decided
to
use
the
post
office.
Letters
will
cost
a
little
more,
but
they
will certainly travel
faster.
