The Troublesome Wind



       The airships and the aeroplanes wait till the wind is still before they try to soar above to show their worth and skill; they do not like the laughing breeze that sweeps o’er hill and dale, and so unless the wind subsides they will not try to sail. When sailors real go out to sail they want a sailing breeze, but sailors of the aeroships say, “just excuse us, please. We want to sail, indeed we do, and leave the earth behind, but when we sail we do not want to be propelled by wind.” It seems to us the geniuses take methods far the worst; they ought to find a way to stop the wind from blowing first.
