Many years ago, Wonder Air was a small, very new company.  It had very little money and its airplanes were very old.  Mr. Black flew by Wonder Air once.  That day, he went to the airport, got on the Wonder Air airplane and waited.

    After a few minutes, there was a lot of noise, and then the captain came out and shouted, "I am not going to take this airplane up!  One of the engines is broken, and they aren't going to get a new one."

    The passengers got out, and then, an hour later, an air-hostess said, "The plane is ready again now."  The passengers walked past her to the airplane again.

    "Did you get a new engine?" Mr. Black asked the air-hostess.

    "No, we got a new captain," she answered.
