Same Plane, Different Pilot (飞行员)
宋德富
Many years ago, Wonder Air was a very small new company(公司). It had very little money and its planes were very old. Mr. Black flew by Wonder Air plane once. That day, he went to the airport(飞机场) and got on the Wonder Air plane and waited.
After a few minutes, there was a lot of noise, and the pilot came out and shouted, “I'm not going to take this plane up! One of the engines (发动机) is broken, and they aren't going to get a new one." The passengers (旅客) got out, and then, later, an air hostess (空姐) said, "The plane is ready again now."
“Did you get a new engine?” Mr. Black asked air hostess.
“No, we got a new pilot,” she answered.
