A DIFFRENT CHRISTMAS STORY

Let me tell you a story. It was a long time ago on the main street in London. The children were singing, and people were hurrying around to buy presents. It was snowing, Christmas was coming, so people were really happy. Yes, you are right, it was Christmas night. Shall we look to the other side of the ocean. Was there as pleasant atmosphere as in England?
In Germany there was a boy called Pete. He was sitting on the plane and looking at the world under him. He was flying home from his German grandmother to London alone. He was only ten years old, but he was not afraid. He knew that he would be home next morning and that many presents would be waiting for him. Then he fell in sweet sleep. When the time was about two a.m. the plane began to shake. Pete fell from the chair and hurt his head. He only saw a strange light…
He woke up in hostital and saw doctors and all his family around him. They told him that he had an accident on the plane. Many people died in this accident, but Pete was the only boy who survived. And if you ask Pete about accident today, he will say to you:
"It was a little diffrent Christmas and it wasn't boring."
