'Fiona: Flying Librarian'

At the air show, the audience asked Fiona to fly loop-the-loops and barrel rolls.

"No problem," Fiona said. And she flew six loop-the-loops and eight barrel rolls — one after another.

And when a doctor in a far-away valley needed a special medicine for a sick patient, Fiona said, "No problem." And she took the medicine and flew it to him.

One winter day, Fiona's pager beeped.

It was Pops Brown in the control tower at the Centertown Airport. That meant there was trouble somewhere! Trouble that needed the Flying Librarian!

Fiona hurried to the principal's office.

"Mrs. Andrews," Fiona said, "Pops Brown just paged me. I have to leave right now."

Mrs. Andrews nodded. "Go ahead," she said.

Fiona hurried to the airport.

"There is a pilot who is lost," Pops said. "His compass doesn't work. He doesn't have a map. His radio stopped working while I was giving him directions. His plane will run out of fuel in about 30 minutes. And there is a snowstorm coming in."

"No problem," Fiona said.

Over her clothes, Fiona put on her pink jumpsuit. She put on her Flying Librarian cap. Then she got into her plane, buckled the orange seat belt and taxied the plane down the runway.

"Ready for takeoff," Fiona said into the radio speaker.

"Check," answered Pops. "Cleared for takeoff."

Fiona gunned the engine. The plane lifted off the runway. It went high into the sky.

Fiona looked out of the window. She saw the streets and houses in Centertown. She saw the fir trees on Timber Mountain.

But she did not see the lost plane.

"If I go higher," Fiona thought, "I can see farther." So she flew her plane higher. And suddenly, snow was swirling all around her!
