Isla walked on a beautiful beach in Nova Scotia.
She looked at the cold blue water.
Suddenly, she saw a green glass bottle.
It was resting on the wet sand.
Isla picked up the bottle and looked inside.
There was a small piece of paper in it.
She carefully opened the bottle and took it out.
It was a letter from a girl named Maeve.
Maeve lived far away across the ocean in Ireland.
She wrote about her favorite colors and favorite books.
Isla smiled because she liked the same things.
Maeve included her home address at the bottom.
Isla went home and found a nice blue pen.
She wrote a long letter to her new friend.
She told Maeve about her life in Canada.
Now, the two girls send letters every month.
They are very happy to be pen pals.
