Bear Falls out of an Airplane
Yip went to the airport with his father. He saw the
airplanes from up close.
"They're even bigger than our house," he says. "They're as big as from
here to the church."
"They can't be," says Yannika. "In the sky they're just teensy-weensy."
"It's true," says Yip. "They've got people inside them. And the pilot
sits up front. Shall we play airplanes?"
They line up chairs. And the piano stool is the steering wheel. Yannika
is a lady who catches the plane, and the bear and Dolly-Jean are her children.
Yip gets to be the pilot.
"Are you going to drive carefully, pilot?" asks the lady.
"Drive?" says the pilot. "We're not driving, we're flying."
"Will you make sure my children don't fall out of the plane?" the lady
asks again.
"I'll make sure they don't," says the pilot. "And here's a parachute just
in case. Tie it onto them, madam."
Off they go. Brrr-br-brrr-brrrr... the plane takes off up into the sky.
