Free Ride

UNIT 16
Harry Bradley was getting on an airplane. He turned and saw a group of children looking at the plane. He heard one of them say, “I hope that I can ride in an airplane someday.” Harry began to think of all the children who had never ridden in a plane.
When he got home, Harry called an airport. He said, “I want to rent a big airplane.” Then he took a group of schoolchildren for a long ride.
Harry gave airplane rides to hundreds of girls and boys. The children rode free because Harry paid all the expenses.
