今天的作業早點交，馬上有個飯局，得早點走。從搬到加州，這麽多年來從年頭到年尾，都是我一人在廚房忙進忙出地招呼別人。想不到如今俺京老二也有時來運轉的時候，眼前請俺吃飯的竟然排上了長隊，從夏天一直排到了聖誕節！我樂啊！
Lesson 29 Taxi!
Captain Ben Fawcett has bought an unusual taxi and has begun a new service. The 'taxi' is a small Swiss aeroplane called a 'Pilatus Porter'. This wonderful plane can carry seven passengers. The most surprising thing about it, however, is that it can land anywhere: on snow, water, or even on a ploughed field. Captain Fawcett's first passenger was a doctor who flew from Birmingham to a lonely village in the Welsh mountains. Since then, Captain Fawcett has flown passengers to many unusual places. Once he landed on the roof of a block of flats and on another occasion, he landed in a deserted car park. Captain Fawcett has just refused a strange request from a businessman. The man wanted to fly to Rockall, a lonely island in the Atlantic Ocean, but Captain Fawcett did not take him because the trip was too dangerous.
