        Some people don't need a mailbox to send a message. They use a bottle instead. Here are two stories

about people who sent a message in a bottle. Both stories are true.

       In 1965, a sailor from Sweden was on a trip. He wrote a letter, asking any young woman to write to

him. He put the letter in a bottle and threw the bottle into the sea.

       Two years later, a man found the bottle on a beach in Italy. He read the letter and showed it to his

daughter. She was 18. As a joke, she wrote to the sailor. They began to exchange letters. After a few months,

they got married.

       Here is the second story: Back in 1924, a boy from Arkansas wrote his name on the back of his picture.

He put the picture in a bottle and dropped the bottle into a river.

      The bottle was not found until one day a man named Bill picked it up on a beach in Florida many years

later. He pulled the picture out of the bottle and looked at it. He could hardly believe his eyes. To his surprise,

the boy in the picture was his friend, Tom, from Arkansas. Bill had not seen Tom for 25 years. Somehow

the bottle had come to the right place.
