The day before yesterday Toby McGlue wanted to visit the airport because it was the "Take your child to work day". He was so excited. But also a little bit nervous too.
"You're the blackest sheep of the world", Toby often hears from his mother, his father, the teachers so to be exactly, from the whole world!
An example: One day he went into the forest to pick apples. Today there isn't a forest anymore. Or when he got out of the school bus it began to rain and they all got wet. OK there's nothing special about it but it happens every time.
But that day he wanted to be perfect, no rain, no victims and no burning airports. This day have to be normal.
His mother brought him to the airport and let hi all one in his fathers office. "Everything's fine,...nothing will change,... I'm not a match,...my dad must be proud of me...", he said to himself until his father entered his office. "Toby", he said but it didn't sound happy at all, but a bit scary. " Why don't you go to your mother today?" His mother worked as a bandleader but his dad was a pilot, a real pilot!
"Her job is boring. They sing and sing. And you're a pilot! That's amazing! When the planes fly in the sky like 'wuuuuussshhhhhhhhh' and the technology is wow, and I want to with you in the cockpit with all these shiny buttons an lights, please paps, pleeeeaaaaseeeeeee!!!"
"Yes Toby, but you know. Touch nothing is the first rule and the second is-"
"I know paps, 'do what adults want you to do'."
"Fine."
When Mr McGlue was in the cockpit he told Toby all the things, sat down, pushed buttons and said: "Here is your pilot Mathew McGlue, I'm going to take you to Frankfurt and I hope you enjoy the flight."
On the front window was a newspaper. Toby, who got out of the plane saw it and went on the oneway but there was a bucket full of glue in his way. He fell and land directly in it and the wind blew the small guy to the front window of the plane, there he saw that the newspaper was inside the plane. But the problem was, that he can't move. His dad took the newspaper and threw it into the bin. Now he could see his little son sticking on the front window. But suddenly it began to rain like the Atlantic fall out of the sky. Toby fell and landed in the water. The water flow away and Mr McGlue took Toby to a hospital. The flowing water flooded the sewerage of his hometown but that's another story.
Well, after Toby left the hospital he went home and was never seen again. The hospital too.
