Every body has their own experience. My worst experience happened on an airplane a long time

ago.

After graduating from High-School in Hue, I was quite happy when my parents allowed me tocontinue my study in Saigon.

Living far from my family, I longed for an opportunity to see my dear people again and at that time

the best way to travel to Hue was to use DC2 or DC4 planes. It took me only one and a half hours to

fly from Tan Son Nhat airport to Phu Bai Airport. I often enjoyed comfortable and pleasant flights,

but one day during my air trip to Hue I experienced the most frightening incident I have ever had in

my life.

It was in the winter when I received a letter from my parents informing me off my sisters

approaching wedding ceremony. I hurried to Vietnam Airline Office to buy a return-ticket to Hue. I

boarded a DC4 plane that morning. When I was flying over Nha Trang city, it began to rain.

Looking out of the window, I saw Nha Trang surrounded in a dense veil of rain. We were making

good time; but when we flew to Da Nang the weather suddenly got worse. It was raining heavily and

the wind was blowing furiously. I was a little nervous. The plane was all right for about 30 minutes. I

was listening to the music on the planes radio. Other passengers were talking. The stewardesses

were serving drinks and food to the passengers. Looking out of the window, I saw masses of dense

black clouds flying past and Hai Van pass was veiled in a curtain of heavy rain, dimly winding below.

Suddenly lightning struck one of the engines. The plane dropped rapidly. Some people were

screaming and the stewardesses were falling down. From the cabin the co-pilots voice was heard to

advise passengers to fasten their seat-belts and keep calm. Looking around, I notice some nuns

taking out their rosaries and starting to say prayers. Their faces were as pale as death.

Though I was a hardened traveler and I got used to remaining calm, I felt quite frightened too. My

heart was beating very fast and I was trembling with fear. I thought I was going to die. But my fear

did not last long. After about 3 minutes, the pilot started the engine again. Everybody on board

heaved a deep sigh of relief. We landed safely at last.

I had to cancel my return to Saigon by plane and took a sea voyage and from that time on I have

never traveled by air when the weather is bad.

There are people who like to have many friends. But this should not be so. We should have only a

few friends, but they must be our true friends A friend is one who can share your joys and sorrows

Rich people may have many friends in their prosperity. All like to enjoy themselves at the expense ofthose who are rich. Most of them are only fair- weather friends. If the rich man loses his money, all

his friends will leave him. This shows that they are not true friends. They fail the test of friendship.

It is adversity that tests friendship. If a man is in trouble or in need and his friend stands by him that

is a true friend. A good friend will never desert a man in his hour of danger.

One is reminded of an old story about two men and a bear. Two men who were supposed to befriends were crossing a forest. Suddenly they saw a bear coming, towards them. One man

immediately climbed a tree, leaving the other to face the bear alone. The other man could not climb

trees. So he threw himself flat on the ground and pretended to be dead. The bear came up to him

and smelt him all over.

Thinking he was dead, the bear walked away. The man who was up in the tree came down. He asked

his friend what the bear had whispered in his ear. The other man, being clever, said "The bear told

me not to trust any man who runs away from me when I am in danger." This story proves that a

friend in need is a friend indeed.
