It was a sunny Saturday afternoon. My friend Bobby Lewis was taking his two little boys to play golf. He walked up to the young man at the ticket counter and said,‘‘How much is it to get in?”

On my first visit to India with my friend, Barry, we met a really nice woman on the plane. Her name was Uma. Talking with her made us very happy.
When we arrived in India, we found that our bags weren’t on our plane. It was 4 am on Saturday morning. But we were told that we couldn’t get our bags until Monday. What could we do? As we stood there thinking, Uma came over. She said, “Our car will come soon. Come home with me.”
We went out of the airport and got into the small car. It was already crowded with Uma’s family who had come to welcome her home.
At the house, we showered and rested. They provided us with delicious Indian meals and took us on tours of their city. On Monday morning, their driver took us to the airport, where we were happy to get our bags.
