My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own age in Holland. Last year,we were traveling across the Channel and Jane put a piece of paper with her name an address on it into a bottle. She throw the bottle into the sea. She never thought of it again, but ten months later, she received a letter from a girl of 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 (much) faster.
