He had a big iron drag in the back to make the ground smooth. Ali was one of the first to meet the pilot, and quickly told him that he and Shireen had seen the airplane last week. He asked if the pilot waved the plane’s wings. The pilot said that he saw them on the hill and that, yes, he waved his wings. Ali laughed and danced around because he was right, the plane waved at them. The pilot asked what his name was, and Ali asked what the pilot’s name was. It was Dan, an easy name to say. Dan asked if Ali could help him. “Yes, of course, I would be glad to help. What can I do?” “First, could you ride with me to show me where that hill is?” Ali climbed into the pickup, pointed the way, and they drove away. All of the other boys were envious and wished they were riding in the pickup, so of course, ran along behind. When they got up on the hill, Dan stopped the pickup and got out. Ali climbed down and followed along to the edge of the cliff.
