Heading to the party
As the mother saw her daughter leaving for a party, she advised:
— Have fun, my daughter, but behave yourself, okay?
So the girl replied:
— Hold on, mom! It’s either one thing or the other…
Engines of the airplane
It was a peaceful journey. But suddenly, the plane shook and trembled, scaring the passengers. Then the captain’s voice was heard:
— Ladies and gentlemen: please remain calm. There was a small accident and we lost one of the engines. But don’t worry, this aircraft is capable of flying with only 3 of its 4 engines. Relax and have a good flight.
Phew! Thank goodness, thought the passengers. Peace returned to the plane and its occupants. Suddenly, another vibration. The passengers panicked. And once again, the reassuring voice of the captain:
— Ladies and gentlemen, there was a minor accident, one of the engines was seriously damaged and we had to shut it down. But don’t worry, this aircraft can fly with only 2 of its 4 engines. Relax and have a good flight.
It was difficult to regain composure, but after some time without anything else happening, the passengers began to relax. Some time passed and there was a tremendous explosion. The plane shook, trembled, tilted to one side, tilted to the other, had a sudden drop, recovered. The flight attendants screamed, the air hostesses screamed. The passengers panicked.
Once again, the reassuring voice of the captain:
— Ladies and gentlemen, we lost one of the two remaining engines, but do not worry because we are taking the necessary measures. Relax, there is no reason for panic or alarm. Remain in your seats.
Despite the confident voice of the captain, the passengers were alarmed. And now?
Suddenly, the cockpit door opens and the captain and co-pilot hastily come out. Each of them has a huge backpack in their hands. They strap the backpacks to their backs and head towards the door of the plane.
One of the passengers speaks:
— Hold on, captain. You said there was no reason to panic, but you are there getting ready for what? Is that a parachute?
— Yes, it is – the captain calmly replies. — But there is no reason to panic. Return to your seats, fasten your seat belts, and relax as we will go seek help.
