The text, mistakes revealed
Here is the text as players saw it, with its 4 mistakes highlighted and corrected.
The cheerful mailman handed my mother a deeply yellowed envelope on a very quiet morning. She stared quietly at the faded blue ink on the front of the old paper. The unfamiliar adressaddress belonged to a tiny rustic house we left many long decades ago. She opened the small envelope very carefully without tearing the very fragile paper edges. Inside was a sweet little note from her very oldest and dearest childhood freindfriend. He wrote the short card at the beginingbeginning of our first summer in that new town. The happy message was almost totoo faded for us to read clearly after thirty long years. She just smiled warmly while holding this beautiful piece of our shared family history.
