Speaker 1 (00:07):
Twenty six years ago, a fourth grade student named Mackenzie
Van Eike created a message in a bottle and she
threw it into a lake in Ontario, Canada. Well earlier

happens to attend the exact same school that Mackenzie attended

found Mackenzie's message in a bottle. Well, Scarlett was shocked

when they took it back to the school, it turns
