I had a pal from Germany and we talked for several years!
I know that it takes months for a letter to arrive and I would be patient, but for my pal and I it took 3 months. Five months had passed and I had not gotten a reply!
One night, my mother saw I was upset and all she said was, it takes some time! I did not think she was right!
Five more months passed, I was really worried so I contacted the website that I had found her on, they told me not to worry!
Three months passed and I received a letter from her saying "I'm sorry" stuff like that! but there were many possibilities: she could have been busy or my letter could have gotten lost in the mail!
Then I remembered that it was called snail mail and that it takes some time!
