– A jet aircraft on a cloudless night began its landing flight path 20 miles due east from the airport where it was due to land. For the first five miles, the noise from its engine disturbed no one. At the sixth mile, an ornithologist on a reservoir was irritated by the jet noise just enough to give the aircraft a glance. He turned into a swan. At the seventh mile, a naturalist and his wife saw the aircraft through their bedroom curtains and turned into crows. At the eighth mile, four children in a dormitory saw it through a skylight and turned into herons. At the ninth mile, seven nurses in an old people's home saw the plane and turned into swallows. At the tenth mile, 21 members of eight families saw the plane and turned into gulls. By the 19th mile, 24,927 people in two towns, four villages and a camping site had seen the plane. Most of them had turned into penguins. When the plane exploded on the airstrip, a cassowary stepped from the wreckage and checked into the VIP lounge.
