pausing
An airport is a very busy place. Besides the long runways needed by planes when coming in to land or when taking off, there are many important building on it. There are all near one another, and the important one is the control tower, from which signals by wireless are made to arriving and departing planes. There are also hangars where planes are kept until they are needed and where they can be overhauled and repaired, waiting rooms for passengers, customs offices, restaurants, and very often a hotel. If the airport is some distance from a town or a railway station, buses may be provided for the convenience of passengers.

A businessman was determined to give his mother a birthday present that would be better than any his brothers were giving her. He heard about an amazing bird which could talk in twelve languages and sing ten famous operas. He immediately bought the bird and sent it to his mother. It cost him fifty thousand dollars.
The day after her birthday, he phoned his mother.
“What did you think of the bird, mother?” he asked eagerly.
His mother replied, “Delicious!”
Such a feeling's coming over me. There is a wonder in most everything I see.Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes,And I won't be surprised if it's a dream.Everything I want the world to be Is now coming true especially for me.And the reason is clear,It's because you're here.You are the nearest thing to heavenThat I've seen.
I'm on the top of the worldLooking down on creation,And the only explanation I can find is the love that I've found Ever since you've been around.Your love's put me on the top of the world.
Something in the wind has learned my name,And it's telling me that things are not the same.In the leaves on the trees,And the touch of the breeze,There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me.There is only one wish on my mind,When this day is throughI hope that I will find That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me.All I need will be mine if you are here.
