Your most embarrassing experience

Our family live in the suburb of HCM city, not far from the

central city It is about 30 kilometers to the South

Last week my parents, my brothers and my sisters paid a

visit to my grandparents in the country and I therefore

stayed at home alone I used to get up very early in the

morning As usual, after going to the market to buy some

necessary things, I came back home to start doing the

housework such as cleaning the floor, making the bed,

making coffee and preparing lunch The house now was

so clean and tidy that it seemed bigger and larger I had

worked from 7:00 a.m to 9:00 a.m I was so tired that I

had to stop working for a rest After 15 minutes of

relaxation, I started working again

Right after I had taken the teapot from the cupboard, I

suddenly felt something burning downstairs I got so

embarrassed and frightened that I dropped the teapot

while I was hurrying downstairs To my horror and

surprise, the kettle on the electric stove was on fire I was

in such a confusing state that I was quite at a loss Then I

came up an idea: I rushed to the switchboard to cut off the

electric power The house suddenly became as dark as

pitch In the pitch-dark kitchen, the kettle turned so

dazzling red that it looked just like a hot burning sun on a

stifling summer afternoon

Your most frightening experience

My worst experience happened on an airplane a long time

ago

After graduating from High-School in Hue, I was quite

happy when my parents allowed me to continue my study

in Saigon

Living far from my family, I longed for an opportunity to

see my dear people again and at that time the best way to

travel to Hue was to use DC2 or DC4 planes It took me

only one and a half hours to fly from Tan Son Nhat airport

to Phu Bai Airport I often enjoyed comfortable and

pleasant flights, but one day during my air trip to Hue I

experienced the most frightening incident I have ever had

in my life

It was in the winter when I received a letter from my

parents informing me off my sister’s approaching wedding

ceremony I hurried to Vietnam Airline Office to buy a

return-ticket to Hue I boarded a DC4 plane that morning

When I was flying over Nha Trang city, it began to rain

Looking out of the window, I saw Nha Trang surrounded in

a dense veil of rain We were making good time; but when

we flew to Da Nang the weather suddenly got worse It

was raining heavily and the wind was blowing furiously I

was a little nervous The plane was all right for about 30

minutes I was listening to the music on the plane’s radio

Other passengers were talking The stewardesses were

serving drinks and food to the passengers Looking out of

the window, I saw masses of dense black clouds flying

past and Hai Van pass was veiled in a curtain of heavy

rain, dimly winding below Suddenly lightning struck one of

the engines The plane dropped rapidly Some people

were screaming and the stewardesses were falling down

From the cabin the co-pilot’s voice was heard to advise

passengers to fasten their seat-belts and keep calm

Looking around, I notice some nuns taking out their

rosaries and starting to say prayers Their faces were as

pale as death

Though I was a hardened traveler and I got used to

remaining calm, I felt quite frightened too My heart was

beating very fast and I was trembling with fear I thought I

was going to die But my fear did not last long After about

3 minutes, the pilot started the engine again Everybody

on board heaved a deep sigh of relief We landed safely at

last

I had to cancel my return to Saigon by plane and took a

sea voyage and from that time on I have never traveled by

air when the weather is bad
