【摘要2022.6.9.四.自由】◎孫宇青
A letter written
to a 12-year old girl in Lithuania was delivered in December, almost 51 years
after it was sent by a pen pal in Poland.
在將近51年後，一封由波蘭筆友寄給12歲立陶宛女孩的信，終於在去年12月投遞成功。
"I thought
that someone was pranking me", said Genovefa Klonovska after being handed
the letter, which included a handmade colored rose and two paper dolls.
潔諾維法‧克洛諾夫斯卡接過信後說：「我還以為有人在整我。」該信還附上手工製作並上色的玫瑰，以及2尊紙娃娃。
The letter,
together with 17 others, fell out of a ventilation hole this summer, dirty and
crumbled, as a wall was demolished in a former post office on the outskirts of
Vilnius.
夏天時，維爾紐斯郊區一間曾是郵局的地方在拆毀一面牆後，從通風口中掉出這封信及另17封，全都變得骯髒破敗。
Only five
recipients were found. In several cases children of deceased recipients were
handed a lost letter.
郵局最後僅找到5名收件人。有許多收件人已不在人世，由他們的孩子收下丟失的信件。
"People
were emotional. Some felt they saw a part of daily life of their deceased
parents," said Deimante Zebrauskaite, head of the customer experience
department at Lithuania Post.（Reuters）
