As the plane circled over the airport， everyone guessed that something was wrong. The plane was moving unsteadily through the air and the passengers were suddenly thrown forward. At that moment， the airhostess （空姐） appeared. She looked very pale， but was quite calm. Speaking quickly but almost in a whisper， she told everyone that the pilot was badly ill and asked if any of the passengers knew anything about machines or at least how to drive a car. After a moment， a man got up and followed the hostess into the pilots room.

Moving the pilot beside him， the man took his seat and listened carefully to the orders that were being sent by radio from the airport below. The plane was now dangerously close to the ground， but it soon began to climb. The man had to circle the airport several times in order to be used to the controls. But the danger had not yet passed. The terrible moment came when he had to land. Following orders， the man controlled the plane towards the airport. It shook greatly as it touched the ground and then moved rapidly across the field， but after a long run it stopped safely. Outside， a lot of people， who had been watching anxiously， ran forward to congratulate the “pilot” on an excellent landing.
