Once upon a time, there was a small village on the banks of a beautiful river. One day, the villagers noticed that a big ship was coming towards them. They all ran to the bridge to see it pass by. The ship was so big that it sailed over the bridge. It was amazing!

The villagers loved to watch the boats sailing up and down the river. They also loved to watch the aeroplanes fly high in the sky. One day, a little boy who lived in the village decided that he wanted to fly like an aeroplane. So, he climbed up to the top of the bridge and spread his arms wide. He closed his eyes and pretended to fly. Suddenly, he heard a noise and opened his eyes. To his surprise, he saw a real aeroplane flying right over him!

The little boy was so happy that he ran back to his village to tell everyone what had happened. However, by the time he got there, he was so tired that he fell asleep. When he woke up the next morning, he continued to dream about flying like an aeroplane over the river and the boats and ships sailing below him.

The end.
