A Glass Envelope

My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own age[^1] in Holland. Last year, we were traveling across the Channel[^2] 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, have decided to use the post office. Letters will cost a little more, but they will certainly travel faster.

[^1]: her own age 同龄人 [^2]: Channel 海峡 频道 [^3]: age n 年龄, v 变老 aged 年迈的 [^4]: dream of receiving a letter 想到会收到一封信。 静妃:我都没想到你还能回来, I never dreamed of your coming back.
