In a far off land that neither you nor I will ever travel to, something strange happened. It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, the trees were green and butterflies flitted from flower to flower. However, there was no one there to see this splendid scene as no one had yet arrived.
The day described was not unusual in this place. In fact, every day had gone on like this since the beginning of time. It could almost be thought of as a boring day if someone had actually been there to consider the monotony of the beauty. The sky was always bright blue and cloudless until the early evening and then little white, candyfloss like clouds would appear over the sea and drift towards land where they settled for the night. By morning, they would be gone. However, on this day there was something in the sky. It was not a cloud or the sun. It was a dot.
If someone had been there watching, they may not have initially noticed the dot. They would probably have gone about their daily routine and not seen it. At least in the morning! But, by noon, the dot had grown larger. It continued to grow, larger and larger over the next few hours until suddenly, ‘pufit’. The noise was unremarkable, but no one was there to hear it anyway.
Something had landed on the grass in a clearing. The grass around it was not altered in any way. It was not charred or smoldered. Everything was exactly how it had been a moment before, except now there was no dot in the sky and there was a large rock on the grass. It stood firmly embedded in the soil and was about two metres high and dark in colour. Its surface almost shone as it reflected the sun’s rays. If there had been someone to look at it, they would have said that it was a wonder, like no other stone they had ever seen before. They would also have said it was mysterious. No plants would ever try to grow on it and it would never be damaged, but the people who were not there would never know this.

ASomething landed on the grass.
BThere was a noise when someone landed.
CNo one heard the noise.

Nobody likes travelling in a hot car, especially in the summer. If you are lucky you may have AC, but many cars either don't have ACs that work or don't have them at all. So, like most people when you get hot and stuffy you open the window to let in the passing air.
Now, what do you do if you are in an airplane? Well the easiest answer is to ask a crew member or try to reach the AC yourself. They are quite high on the ceiling of an airplane, which makes it difficult to reach for most people.
Recently, there have been two examples of what can happen when new travellers try to cool themselves down. One man said he had been feeling hot and needed some air for hours on a long flight. He got so warm that he decided to pull the handle next to him and below the window. He thought this would wind the window down. What happened next was a big shock. The whole door fell away from the plane. He panicked, but the plane landed safely, and no one was hurt. He got arrested and given a very big fine of around $11,000.
A second man did something very similar but this time it was before the plane had even taken off. He said that he needed a bit of fresh air before they left so that he wouldn't feel sick on the journey. The crew removed him from the plane and gave him a smaller fine of $500. The airplane was delayed by only 1 hour.
The moral behind these stories is probably that one should always read the instructions or ask someone for help in situations that are new and confusing. I think we all get baffled sometimes when we find ourselves in brand new places. It's quite fun!
