1. Read this strange story quickly. How did the two girls meet?

The two girls met because Laura Buxton sent a balloon with a message attached. The balloon traveled over 200 km to another little girl's garden. The man found the balloon, read the message, and took it to her house. It turned out her name was also Laura Buxton. The second Laura wrote a letter to the first one, and then their parents telephoned so they could meet.
