There was a pilot (飞行员) and four people in a small plane. Suddenly there was something wrong with the engine (发动机) while it was flying in the air. The smoke was everywhere in the plane. The pilot told the passengers there was only four parachutes( 降落伞). They all became worried and started to make excuses.
"I must go and mend the engine,"said the pilot, taking one of the parachutes. There was nothing he could do, so he jumped out of the plane.
The first person stood up,"I am a doctor,"he said. "I help people live longer and I save lives. "He also took a parachute and jumped out.
The second person said,"I must have a parachute. I am a very clever person. I have to go to a very important match. I know I will win the game because I was the cleverest person there. "He picked up a pack and jumped out.
Two men was left -- an old businessman and a young mountain climber. By this time the plane was going down fast. The businessman said,"Young man, I am old but you are still young. You take the last parachute. " The young mountain climber smiled, "Don't worry,"he said. "We can both jump to safety because there were two parachutes. Just now, the clever man jumped out with my backpack. "
