Two years ago I had a chance to fly in an aeroplane. This was my first flight so I was very nervous. I feared
that sorts of accidents might happen on the way. I thought that the engine might burst and come down with a
crash. Sometimes I was afraid that the pilot might make a mistake and I had to pay for it with my life.
Soon after I had seated myself there, the sound of the engines rose to a roar as moved off, and gradually its
speed. Then it was with a feeling of surprise I noticed that the ground was at some distance beneath me. As
the plane went higher and higher up in the air, a strange sensation ran through my body. Soon, the motion
was easy. The fear which overtook me at the time of flight was no more in my heart. Now I was quite bold in
the air.
This did not mean that I felt the worse for it. I felt as comfortable in the aeroplane as I used to feel in my
car. I felt no sense of insecurity. I did not occur to me even for a moment that my life could ever be in
danger. The machine flew as smoothly in the air as a boat glides down a peaceful stream.
When the plane was at sufficient height, I looked through the pane of the window. The earth seemed to be
“falling off” from us. The big building looked like a small spots of beauty. The sky was clear. Everything
looked new and strange.
The most beautiful thing was the scene around me. I saw nothing but was surrounded by pure air.
Occasionally I saw clouds floating here and there.
We flew over the roofs of many houses. At one place we were very near the roof and I felt that we were
going to touch it. After flying for a long time, we finally touche the earth. The journey was so pleasant and
comfortable that I could not forget it.
