Nearly a quarter-century after a German boy threw a message in a bottle off a ship in the Baltic Sea, he’s received an answer.

  A 13-year-old Russian, Daniil Korotkikh, was walking with his parents on a beach when he saw something lying in the sand.

  “I saw that bottle and it looked interesting,” Korotkikh told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “it looked like a German beer bottle and there was a message inside. ”

  It said, “My name is Frank, and I’m five years old. My dad and I are traveling on a ship to Denmark. If you find this letter, please write back to me, and I will write back to you.” The letter, dated 1987, included an address in the town of Coesfeld.

  The boy in the letter, Frank Uesbeck, is now 29. His parents still live at the letter’s address.

  The Russian boy and the German man met each other earlier this month through an internet video link. The Russian boy said he did not believe that the bottle actually spent 24 years in the sea. He believed it had been hidden under the sand where he found it for a long time.

  Uesbeck was especially happy that he was able to have a positive effect on a life of a young person far away from Germany. “It‘s really a wonderful story,” he said. “And who knows? Perhaps one day we will actually be able to arrange a meeting in person. ”

阅读理解。
     One day in January, my uncle, my cousin and I decided to go hunting. We left by car in the afternoon. It
was a Range Rover with four-wheel drive. It took us three hours to get there. After we arrived at 5:15 p. m.,
we fixed the tent, then made coffee and had a short rest. After that, we went hunting, using a falcon (猎鹰).
We spent two hours without finding anything. On our way back to the camp, my cousin saw a rabbit. I
removed the falcon's head cover and let go of the aggressive falcon. When the rabbit saw the falcon, it ran
fast, but my falcon was a professional hunter. He flew up and came down to trick the rabbit. After two
minutes, the rabbit was caught. We took it back to the camp to cook our dinner. We ate the delicious food,
drank Arabic coffee, and sat around the fire talking until 10:30 p.m.
     We left the camp the next day at 7 o'clock in the morning. We went north. However, around 10:00 a.m.
our car got stuck in the sand! We spent about three hours trying to pull out the ear without any progress.
Finally, we decided to walk. As it was hard for an old man or a young boy to walk more than 40km in the
desert, I decided to get help myself. I took a bottle of water with me and started to walk south alone. I knew
the way well, but it was a long way in the sand. I walked more than four hours without stopping.
     When I felt so tired and thirsty, I stopped to rest. I drank all the water and slept for around two hours.
When I got up, it was dark. I continued to walk south. I was worried about my uncle and cousin. Suddenly,
I met a Bedouin man who was riding his camel. He took me to his house. When I had had enough rest, I
asked him to take me to the road where I found a car, It took me to the city to get help. I had one day to get
back to my uncle and cousin. When I got back to them, they were so happy because I had gotten help and
they were able to see me again.
