A girl named Dinah lived in South Carolina

She wrote a letter to a friend in China



Dear Ling Lu,

How are you?

I love my bike.

Love, Dinah



The letter went out in the afternoon mail

It went by truck, it went by rail

It was a loaded on a boat on its way to China

All the way from South Carolina

When the letter got to China it was loaded on a van

And a man took the letter to Ling Lu San

Ling Lu wrote a letter back to Dinah

And sent it off to South Carolina



Dear Dinah,

How are you?

I like my bike but I love egg drop soup (giggles).

Love, Ling Lu



Ling Lu's letter came by ocean liner

And Dinah thought Ling's letter couldn't be finer
