TWO BALLOONS
Two little Dutch girls have something to talk about all 'their lives.
They are Greta and Mia van As, and it is the adventures of> their two balloons which have made them the happiest children in Holland. To celebrate the birth of Princess Beatrix, Dutch children freed 2§PO balloons, each balloon having the name and address of the child who liberated it. It happened that the two sister* tied theft* balloons together,. and they
were blown 1500 miles to Finland* where they were found and taken to a newspaper office. There, when the long journey of the balloons was revealed, the staff of the newspaper sent souvenirs to the little girls with a letter written in the language all nations can read, Esperanto.
