Of course such insignificant aspects could not stop our young hero; Anna-Amelia
always tried to create a new exploit by taking her father's airplane without any per-
mission. Once she decided to land on a moving Trans-Terra Express to prove her
skills, being sure that her father would not abuse her for such behavior and would
only praise her talent as a pilot—very presumptuous and unadvised. But this was her
temper; Anna-Amelia was a fidget. Early in the morning she took her father's keys,
jumped into the cockpit, started the engine, and flew away into the sky. Soon she
noticed the express, which was moving from Budapest. Anna-Amelia began to bank
the airplane, preparing for the landing.
The face of the train was in front; she started to descend, seeing the lane and all the
signal lights—200 meters, 100 meters, 50 meters, and everything was totally under
control. Bounce! The landing wheels touch the lane softly; Anna-Amelia was smil-
ing, anticipating her glory. But, what was wrong with that grid at the end of the lane?
It moved too fast! Anna-Amelia accidentally made a common mistake. The landing
speed was too fast, and the length of the lane was not enough for it. Before she can
completely understand all the consequences, a special automatic system made its
way and the young pilot was catapulted. Anna-Amelia only noticed the airplane get-
ting crushed into the grid. She was flying forward, and the roofs of the cars below
were moving very fast. Then she saw that the express was going to run away, and
the very last car was in front of her eyes. It looked very beautiful with a special dec-
orative fin. "Oh, I see the rails," she thought and suddenly something pulled her back
strongly.
The parachute was opened and it caught the fin on the roof. Anna-Amelia was
thrown down and backward; she smashed into a door:
Fortunately it was open and our hero did not suffer any damage. She got off with
nothing more than a fright. Or may be not? "My father's plane! I need to get it back,
fix it, and turn it home before somebody knows!" Anna-Amelia thought. By looking
around she understood that she was inside a very dusty and an almost empty car.
