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.

我的女儿简从未想过会接到荷兰一位同龄姑娘的来信。去年，当我们横渡英吉利海峡时，简把写有她姓名和住址的一张纸条装进了一只瓶子，又将瓶子扔进了大海。此后她就再没去想那只瓶子。但10个月以后，她收到了荷兰一位姑娘的来信。现在这两位姑娘定期通信了。然而她们还是决定利用邮局。这样会稍微多花点钱，但肯定是快得多了。
