  “Here we go! Hold on to me tight(紧紧地)! ” the father said.“Look out there! See that pilot? I bet(打赌)his walking to his plane.” The son stretched(伸出)his neck to look.

  As I got off, I remembered something I'd wanted to buy.I was early for my flight, so I decided to go back.I did and just as I was about to go back to the train for my gate, I saw that the man and his son had returned, too.
