Many years ago, Wonder Air was a small, very new company. It had very little money and its aeroplanes were very old. Mr. Black flew by Wonder Air once. That day, he went to the airport, got on the Wonder Air aeroplane and waited. After a few minutes, there was a lot of noise, and then the captain came out and shouted, ‘I’m not going to take this aerоplane up! One of the engines is broken, and they aren’t going to
get a new one.’ The passengers got out, and then, an hour later, an airhostess said, ‘The aeroplane’s ready again now.’ The passengers walked past her to the aeroplane again.
‘Did you get a new engine?’ Mr. Black asked the air-hostess.
‘No, we got a new captain,’ she answered.
