Swimming is a necessity! Im going to charge your teacher with neglect.”the pilot said and ordered Teddy to jump Teddy knew he had to of necessity obey, so he didnt negotiate, but closed his eyes, crossed himself and jumped His wish, naturally, was to land somewhere nearby land
特迪当过海军,是一名飞机领航员。有一次,他们机组奉命从一个附近的海军基地取一些底片。可是特迪的导航使他们迷失了方向,因为他忽略了一些非常重要的数据。燃料用完了,所以驾驶员让特迪作好弃机的准备,也就是说,他们要脱光衣服赤身跳进海里。看到特迪还在犹豫,驾驶员,一个大个子黑人,开玩笑地说:“好啦,老弟,别告诉我你不会游泳。”当特迪告诉他他真的不会游泳时,他简直不敢相信自己的耳朵。“那你是怎么顺利通过考试的?游泳是必须会的!我要告你的老师玩忽职守。”驾驶员说完便命令特迪跳下去。特迪知道他必须要服从他的命令,便也不再与他协商,而是把眼睛一闭,在胸前划了个十字,然后便跳了出去。他的愿望自然是落在陆地附近的某个地方。
