Passage
Mr. Buba Ado walked up to the ticket office for Dami Airlines and bought two tickets. The cashier asked, ‘Sir, do you have any luggage to check in?’
“Yes,” answered Uncle Buba. “One suitcase”. He put it on the scale, and a Dami Airlines worker put a label on it and took it away.
Uncle, the man is carrying our suitcase away. What is he going to do with it? asked Bala.
“We can’t carry our heavy suitcase inside the plane. It has to be put in a place under the plane”.
Uncle Buba paid the airport tax, and he and Bala walked towards the plane. It was parked on the tarmac. Its door was opened, and a stairway was stood at the entrance of the plane. An air hostess was standing there. When Uncle Buba and Bala walked inside, she said, “You’re welcome. Your seats are here. Your seat numbers are E1 and E2”.
She told all the passengers, “Please, sit down and fasten your seat belt”.
Bala smiled broadly and sat near a window. Uncle Buba showed him how to fasten a seat belt. “May I walk to the back of the plane?” asked Bala.
Uncle Buba replied, “Not yet. Wait till the plane has taken off. The air hostess will tell us when we can leave our seats”.
Bala settled into his seat and looked around him. He was sure he would enjoy the flight to Lagos.
Now answer these questions:
- Where did Uncle Buba buy their tickets?
