 A glass envelope

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 Chanel 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.
