NAME:
Passengers boarded the plane. Each took their place, placing their carry-on bags in the trunk, just above the seat.
A blonde girl, inexperienced, after observing everything in detail, approached the gentleman who was beside her.
– What's your name, sir?
– Sergio Ramiro!
– Well, Mr. Sérgio, it's the first time I've traveled by plane and I'm a little nervous.
– Calm down, miss! Try to distract yourself, as there is no danger.
She laughed, embarrassed, and remained uneasy. The man remained in the same position, reading the newspaper.
– What's the use of this plastic bag here, behind the front seat? - Asked the girl.
– This bag is to be used when necessary.
– Need for what?
The man scratched his head and continued reading the newspaper.
– Does the plane have a bathroom?
- Yes ma'am! The flight attendant will guide you.
- Flight attendant?…
And the girl got up quickly, without asking permission, bumping heavily into the man.
Minutes later, she was back. He sat down and watched the flight attendant giving directions at the front.
– The young man, and that woman making gestures over there?
– Miss, she is guiding how to act in case of emergency.
– But I don't understand anything that is being said.
- In a little while everything will be translated into our language, miss.
The girl was a little quiet, paying attention to the flight attendant. She was thoughtful for a few minutes and then asked:
– Is it possible for us to fall into the sea, young man?
– No, because God is with us, miss!
She gave a confirming smile and silently turned to the window, looking out.
He picked up a magazine from the front seat and spent a lot of time flipping through it.
He was startled when some passengers got up and took their luggage from the trunk.
- Where they will go? Why did they take your bags?
– These passengers will disembark here. It's the first scale miss!
– So, the plane has already gone up and down?
- Yes ma'am…
– And are you also going to land here?
- Yes ma'am…
– Wow! I'm going down on the third scale. Can I change places and sit next to someone else?
