    Yesterday afternoon Mr. Brown wanted to catch the 1:30 flight to New York to have an important meeting. At 4:30, Mrs Brown, his wife, got his phone call and he said that he was still at the airport.

    "What happened to you?" Mrs Brown asked in surprise.

    "Well," Mr. Brown said. "Everything was fine at first. I got my ticket checked, took my bags and waited in line to get on the plane. While I was walking across the runway to the plane, I saw my friend Jack Scott—he was a flight attendant. I shouted to him and a policeman caught me."

    "But why?"

    "I don't know. As soon as he heard my shout, he ran towards me and caught me."

    "What did you shout to your friend?"

    "All I said was 'Hi, Jack' ; you know that's the usual way we say hello to our friend."

    "But the sentence 'Hi, Jack' also means to take control of a plane by force(武力). Don't you know?"
