BARBARA wants to be a pilot. She wants to fly a small airplane. "I want to take flying lessons," she tells her husband.
"Flying lessons?" her husband says. "Flying is dangerous!"
"Don't worry," Barbara says. "I'll be fine."
Barbara takes flying lessons. Today she is practicing landing. She is in a small airplane with her teacher. Barbara sees the airport. Then she sees the runway. She flies lower and lower. "Good!" her teacher says.
Barbara hears a loud noise on the top of the airplane. "What's that?" Barbara asks her teacher.
"I don't know!" the teacher says. "Land the plane, Barbara. Land the plane."
Barbara lands the airplane. She and her teacher get out of the airplane. They see another, bigger airplane. It is on top of their airplane.
The pilot gets out of the bigger airplane. "Sorry," the pilot says. "I was landing, too. I didn't see you."
