Brazil - Teach Me English

The flight from Sao Paulo to Cuiaba takes around 4 hours, so we settled comfortably into our seats and napped after the Transatlantic flight. A couple of hours into the flight, we were roused by the pilot communicating flight information as usual. Ten minutes later, he communicated again: " ladies and gentlemen, you know what, I am bored, why don't you come up to see me in the cockpit?"

A ripple of interest flowed down the aisle and a patient queue of men, women, teens and babies formed at the front of the plane where the cockpit door opened wide. Inside the cockpit, a party atmosphere prevailed with babies flipping switches, kids admiring the controls, and the pilot beaming with pleasure. We all gazed at the savannah of Mato Grosso unfolding below. When he heard that Gen spoke English, he enthusiastically waved her into the seat behind him and said:"sit here, teach me English".
