Question

The air hostess (空姐) was in a small kitchen at the back of the plane, preparing the plates for lunch, when a little old lady came and spoke to her, “Could you please tell me,” she asked, “where is the ladies’ lavatory (厕所) in the plane?”

“Yes, madam,” said the air hostess and smiled. “It is right at the other end of the plane---at the front.”
