When the plane was waiting at the airport, a big snake climbed up the steps and into the plane. It went to sleep under the pilot's (飞行员的) seat. Nobody saw it. Soon the passengers (乘客) walked into the plane and it took off. A little girl called Mary took out a whistle (哨子) and began playing. But none of the passengers liked the music. Then the stewardess (女乘务员) asked Mary to stop.
The noise of the plane woke the snake. It put its head out and looked into the pilot's room. The pilot saw the snake and was greatly afraid. He was very afraid that the snake would bite him so he could not control the plane, and the plane started to swing strongly from side to side. The stewardess told the passengers what was happening and asked them not to be afraid. Mary was not afraid at all. She ran to the pilot's room with her whistle and began to play slow music, then the snake went after her. The girl returned to her seat and the snake lying on the floor beside her, dancing to the music.
When the plane finally landed at the airport, and people took the snake to a zoo near Mary's house. She often went to visit the snake.
