 Life
is full of mysteries, isn't it? Recently, something very
amazing happened to a Japanese girl named Natsumi Shirahige. A letter
that she sent into the sky in a balloon 15 years ago has been found
on a fish! Last Thursday, a fisherman found the letter
on a flatfish in his catch.
Surprisingly, the letter
was still legible! The fisherman said
the letter was a nice surprise. "I've been in fishing for a long time. But this
is unbelievable!" he said
with a big smile.
When he opened the folded paper, he discovered that it was a
handwritten letter from a
six-year-old girl at an elementary school in Kawasaki. Natsumi released the letter as part
of events to mark her school's 120th anniversary, which was in
1993. The letter reads, "My school is 120 years old. If you pick up this letter, please
write back to me."
Now the little girl is a 21-year-old university student. "I can't
get over the wonder of how the letter
survived 15 years! I never
expected I'd get a reply this way," she
said. |
