He had been on a long flight. The first warning of the approaching problems came when the sign on the airplane flashed on: “Fasten your seat belts.”

Then, after a while, a calm voice said, “We shall not be serving the drinks at this time as we are expecting a little turbulence(气流). Please be sure your seat belt is fastened.”

As he looked around the aircraft, it became obvious that many of the passengers were becoming nervous.

Later, the voice of the announcer said, “We are so sorry that we are unable to serve the meal at this time. The turbulence is still ahead of us.”

And then the storm broke out. The terrible thunder could be heard even above the sound of the engines. Lightening lit up the darkening skies and within moments that great plane was like a feather thrown around on a vast ocean. One moment the airplane was lifted on great currents of air; the next, it dropped as if it were about to crash.

The man admitted that he shared the discomfort and fear of those around him. He said, “As I looked around the plane, I could see that nearly all the passengers were upset and alarmed. Some were praying.”

“The future seemed terrible and many were wondering if they would make it through the storm. And then, I suddenly saw a girl to whom the storm meant nothing. She just sat on her seat and was reading a book. Everything within her small world was calm and orderly. Sometimes she closed her eyes, then she would read again; then she would straighten her legs, but worry and fear were not in her world. When the plane was being hit by the terrible storm, when it shook this way and that, as it rose and fell so severely, when all the adults were scared half to death, that unusual child was completely composed and unafraid.”

The man could hardly believe his eyes. It was not surprising, therefore, that when the plane finally reached its destination and all the passengers were hurrying off board, he asked the girl why she had not been afraid. The sweet child replied, “Sir, my Dad is the pilot and he is taking me home.”
