Where Is the Cellphone?

20 Where Is the Cellphone? Dad was on his way home on an airplane. He was excited because he would be home with his family soon. The pilot announced that the landing would begin in ten minutes. Dad was in the last row of seats on the plane. He buckled the seat belt, put his cellphone on the empty seat next to him and got ready for the landing. The plane was getting lower and lower. Then it touched the ground, shaking violently. After gliding on the runway for a while, it finally stopped. People started to get their carry-on luggage. Dad reached out for his cellphone on the seat beside him, but it wasn't there anymore! He was sure that he left it on the seat. Had someone stolen it? Dad was anxious. He searched everywhere. He looked on the floor. He checked all his pockets. He checked the seat pocket in front of him. But still, he could not find his cellphone. It had mysteriously disappeared!

Dad was getting really nervous. His cellphone had all his contacts. He did not want to lose all of that information. A flight attendant noticed that Dad was looking for something. “ What are you looking for?" she asked. “ My cellphone, " Dad answered as he continued to search. The attendant used the microphone to ask the passengers to help. Just then, a passenger at the front of the airplane called out, " Hey! There's a cellphone at my feet. " It turned out that Dad's cellphone flew off the seat during the shaky landing. It fell on the floor and slid from the back of the airplane to the front. Dad was happy that he found his cellphone. He kept saying, “ Thank you, thank you very much! " Later, when he was home, he said, “ Imagine how much force there is when a plane is landing. No wonder everyone has to use a seatbelt. " Then, he smiled and said, “ My cellphone should do the same! "
