Have you ever found a letter meant for someone else?

If you ever get the chance, you should read the children's book Paddle-to-the-sea. It's the story of a wooden Indian made by a boy in Canada. The boy puts it in a river that leads to Lake Superior. The little Indian (Paddle-to-the-sea) goes on many adventures. As people find him, they put their name and where they're from on him. Eventually he makes it across the ocean and in France. The boy who made him is a man reading. He reads in the paper about Paddle-to-the-sea.

I always loved this story because of how the little boy touched so many people's lives without realizing it. I used to want to make a treasure map and leave it in my house, so in the future, children living there could find the treasure I left behind (pictures, things that were important to me, my diary) and know what life was like in my time. I wanted to do that because I always thought it would be neat if I found something like that. What an adventure it would truly be...
