As a crowded airliner is about to
take off, the peace is shattered by
a 5-year-old boy who picks that
moment to throw a wild temper tantrum.
No matter what his frustrated,
embarrassed mother does to try to calm
him down, the boy continues to
scream furiously and kick the seats
around him.
Suddenly, from the rear of the plane,
an elderly man in the uniform of
an Air Force General is seen slowly
walking forward up the aisle.
Stopping the flustered mother with
an upraised hand, the white-haired,
courtly, soft-spoken General leans
down and, motioning toward his
chest, whispers something into
the boy's ear.
Instantly, the boy calms down, gently
takes his mother's hand, and
quietly fastens his seat belt.
All the other passengers burst into
spontaneous applause.
As the General slowly makes his
way back to his seat, one of the cabin
attendants touches his sleeve.
"Excuse me, General," she asks quietly,
"but could I ask you what magic
words you used on that little boy?"
The old man smiles serenely and
gently confides, "I showed him my
pilot's wings, service stars, and
battle ribbons, and explained that
they entitle me to throw one passenger
out the plane door on any
flight I choose."
