Early in the morning, the pilot and his companions left the hotel and took a taxi to the airport.
The driver asked the pilot:
Driver: "I see you are in a hurry."
Pilot: "We don't want to be late for the plane. We're flying to Turkey."
The driver reassured him:
Driver: "Don't worry, you'll arrive on time. The distance isn't far — only about 15 minutes."
Then he asked:
Driver: "Tell me, how do you feel here in Cairo?"
Pilot: "What a beautiful country, decorated with its pyramids. It is the land of our ancestors. We enjoyed this trip very much. Maybe one day, we'll return and stay longer."
The driver slowed down, turned left, and said:
Driver: "Here we are, you've arrived."
The pilot and his companions got out of the car, carried their bags, and entered Cairo International Airport.
Inside, they checked the departure screen for their flight to Turkey.
Pilot: "Look, there's not much time left. Just 10 minutes before the Turkish plane takes off. Come on, sit here. I'll get the tickets."
The commander handed their bags over to security, where they passed through the inspection system. Once cleared, the companions picked them up, and together they headed toward the plane.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the plane took off.
The girl, Kasha, asked the captain:
Kasha: "How long will the flight take?"
Captain: "About two hours."
Kasha smiled happily and said to the pilot:
Kasha: "Then I'll close my eyes for a while. When I open them, tell me that we've arrived."
Pilot: "As you wish. But before you close your eyes, can you tell me the name of the sea you see out there?"
Kasha: "It's so blue… is it the Mediterranean?"
Pilot: "Yes. But when we arrive, there will be another sea on the other side. Can you guess which one?"
Kasha: "Maybe it's our destination. I think my sister is wandering among its black clouds. You mean the Black Sea."
Pilot: "Exactly. Look now — the plane is descending, and the sky is covered with clouds. We've arrived."
The plane landed at 10:30 a.m. at Istanbul International Airport.
The pilot and his companions disembarked, heading into the airport to complete the entry procedures for Turkey.
