| It really happened to me! Most people don tbelieve me when I tell them this story. But it isthe truth! I remember it was a great day forflying. White clouds dotted the blue sky.Mandrake Makepeace was my pilot. He sat inthe front seat. I was the co-pilot. I sat in the backseat. My name is Henry Hedley. The cold wind blew in my face as we flew overParis. Below I could see the buildings and streetsof the city. Everything looked small. We wereflying in an old biplane.* It wasn t very fast. Butit could turn on a dime. Without warning, the plane shot straightdown. The next thing I knew, I was fallingthrough the sky like a rock. I had been thrownout of the plane! Suddenly, I couldn t see athing. I had fallen into a cloud. I knew I wasabout to die. I saw my life pass before my eyes.As I came out of the cloud, it happened. Wham!Had I hit the ground already? NO! It wasamazing! I had landed on the tail of our plane.Quickly, I crawled back to my seat. This time, Ibuckled my seat belt. Mandrake Makepeace turned around. He hada big smile on his face. He yelled, "How didyou like that dive, Henry? Did I scare you justa little?" I didn t tell him then, but you should haveseen his face when I did. I think Mandrake stilldoesn t believe I had really been thrown out ofthat plane. |
