When the plane was waiting at the airport，a big snake climbed up the steps and into the plane. It went to sleep under the pilot’s(飞行员) seat. Nobody noticed. Soon the passengers(乘客) get on the plane and it took off. A little girl called Mary took out a whistle(哨子) and began playing. But none of the passengers liked the music. They got the stewardess(女乘务员)to ask the girl to stop.
