This is a field of cotton ready to be harvested
The pictures below show the harvesting and a big container full of cotton.
There's always a little cotton left on the plants so we picked some for you.
Now you may open the envelope.
| Dear Erika,
Before you open the envelope we'd like you to go to your closet (or a drawer) and find an article of clothing that is 100 percent cotton. Do that now, then come back to the letter. Do you know anything about how cotton is grown? We happened to be near Tucson, Arizona, when they were harvesting the cotton crop and we made a little detour just to get some pictures for you. |
