‘Perhaps. But your children think that you’re a famous man, I’m sure. Here, take it, and show it to them.’
OK. Thanks.’ Harald smiled and put the newspaper in his coat pocket. ‘I think I’ll have a cup of coffee too.’ He called for the air hostess, but she did not come. Harald looked surprised.
‘What’s the matter?’ Carl asked.
‘The air hostess,’ Harald said. ‘She’s sitting down talking to those two men.’
Carl looked up and saw the young air hostess. She was sitting in a seat at the front of the plane with two young men. They looked worried and nervous. Suddenly, one of the young men picked up a bag and walked into the pilot’s cabin! The other man and the air hostess followed him.
‘That’s strange,’ said Carl. ‘What are they doing?’
‘I don’t know, it’s very strange,’ said Harald. ‘I don’t like it at all.’ He began to get out of his seat, but then stopped and sat down again.
For one or two minutes nothing happened. None of the other passengers moved or spoke. They had seen the young men too. It became very quite in the plane.
