We go to the registration desk. A nice Lady Dog in a green suit meets us there.
“Good afternoon,” she says. “Where are you flying?”
“Good afternoon, we are flying to Dalaman,” Father answers.
“May I have your passports, please?” Lady asks.
“Here they are,” Daddy gives our passports to the Lady.
The Lady looks at our passports, looks at the computer and gives us our boarding pass.
“Your gate is number eleven,” says the Lady and gives our passports back to Daddy.
“Gate? What is it, Mommy?” asks Betsy.
“The gate to our plane. We need to find it in the airport,” Mother explains.
“Thank you very much!” Daddy says to the Lady.
“You are welcome. Have a nice flight!” The Lady says.
We go to the second floor of the airport on the elevator. We find our gate number eleven. We see a lot of other dogs near the gates.
“Now we need to take our seats and wait. Stewardess will invite us to get on a plane.” Mother explains.
“When the stewardess invites us, I will run very quickly to the plane. I want to be the first!” says Timmy.”
“Oh Timmy, Timmy,” says Mother, “Polite puppies do not run to the plane. They stay in line and wait for their turn to get on to the plane.”
“Waiting is boring,” says Timmy. “Running is fun!”
“But if everyone runs it is going to be dangerous,” says Father.”
“Oh,” says Timmy, “Travelling is not fun. There are too many rules!”
“Timmy, if you do not follow the rules travelling can be dangerous. But if you follow the rules, you can have a lot of fun and be safe!”

Chapter 3
In the plane
We are in the plane. The plane is going to take off very soon. Me, Betsy and Timmy are sitting in the same row in the first class. I have a window seat, Timmy has an aisle seat and Betsy is sitting between us. Our Mother and Father are sitting across the aisle.
Betsy is reading a book about Turkey.
The stewardess comes and says: “Dear passengers, our plane is ready to take off. Please take your seats and fasten your seatbelts.”
We fasten our seatbelts. The plane starts to slowly move and then to move faster and faster. In three minutes our plane takes off!
I look out the window. It is like magic! Everything becomes little: trees, roads, cars, houses…
“Betsy, Timmy, look out the window!” I say.
“Wow!” says Betsy. “It is so beautiful outside! I can see the sky and clouds.”
“Yes,” I say. “I can see the sky and clouds and little houses. It is so wonderful!”
“But I can’t see anything!” Timmy cries. “It is because I have an aisle seat and you – Rex, have a window seat.”
“I understand, Timmy,” I say. “On the way back you will have a window seat and I will have an aisle seat.”
