A Trip by Plane
An American farmer
wanted to make an air trip. There was an airport close to his farm. So one
morning he came there to ask if he could make an air trip.
"You
see," he said to one of the pilots, "I have never flown before, but I
would like to." The pilot told him that the price of the trip was 10
dollars for a ten-minute trip. "Oh, it's a dollar a minute," the
farmer said. "Can't you reduce the price?" The pilot thought for a
minute and then said, "I won't take any money if you don't say a word
during the whole trip." The farmer agreed.
"By
the way," said the pilot, "you may take your wife too." The
farmer was happy.
The
next day at three o'clock the farmer and his wife arrived at the airport. Soon
they were up in the air. The plane flew at a high speed, it went up and down
very quickly, but the passengers didn't say a word.
"You are
brave people," said the pilot. "I thought you would be afraid to
fly."
"Well,"
said the farmer, "I am glad, I will not have to pay for the trip, as I
didn't have to say a word, but I wanted to speak to you when my wife fell out
of the plane."
