Every year, a magazine called Executive Travel organizes a competition to find the best airline of the year. Travelers from all over the world are invited to vote (投票) for the most punctual (準(zhǔn)時(shí)的), the safest and the friendliest airline. The competition also invites them to tell their most horrible stories during their travels. Now let’s read some travelers’ tales of bad flying experiences.

One traveler shared his story which happened on a certain African airline. Even if some passengers had boarding cards, they couldn’t still get the seats. They complained and shouted at the airport. Finally, the flight attendants solved the problem by setting a funny rule. Those passengers who ran fastest around the plane twice could get the seats at last.

An overbooked flight that was going from Heathrow Airport to America gave another traveler a bit of a shock. Dressed only in trousers, a shirt and socks, the traveler had been allowed by the flight attendants to leave the aircraft to see if he could get a workmate aboard. But when he returned a few minutes later, he found the plane closed up and about to start moving --- with his shoes, wallet, passport and luggage on board. He knocked heavily on the door and then was allowed to get back inside.

Luggage is also a rich source of horror stories. There was the unlucky traveler who left Chicago where the temperature was minus (零下) 11 degrees centigrade. He was going to attend an important meeting in Dallas where the temperature was as high as 26.7 degrees centigrade. Unfortunately, his suitcase had gone to Los Angeles and wasn’t able to be sent to him before the meeting. So he had to__________________________________________________________.

Emil was a young schoolboy from a small town in Germany. One day, his mother gave him some money and asked him to fly to Berlin to see his grandmother. In order to save more money, Emil took a bus to the railway station. He was very careful not to lose the money and used a needle (針) to pin it to the inside of his jacket.

On the train to Berlin, Emil met a man called Grundeis. He was so hospitable that he offered Emil some chocolate. Emil fell asleep after eating it. When he woke up, Grundeis was gone, and so was the money! Emil got off immediately at an unfamiliar station, looking for Grundeis.

When Emil saw Grundeis in the crowd, he followed him. However, he was unable to catch him. A local boy named Gustav helped him. He gathered 24 local children who called themselves “detectives” and asked them to follow the thief.

Emil and the “detectives” followed Grundies to a hotel and kept watch on him all night. When morning came, they saw him go to a bank where he wanted to exchange the money for smaller bills. One of the boy “detectives” followed him into the bank and told the bank teller (柜員) that the money was stolen from someone else. Emil came in, too. He told the bank teller his story and proved that the money was his by describing the holes in the bills left by the needle.

Grundeis tried to run away, but Emil and his new friends held on tightly to him until a policeman arrived and caught him. Emil finally got his money back and could continue on to his grandmother’s home.
