Fishel and Faivish and The UFO
| November 9, 2016
T
he mailman had just delivered a huge box to the Friedman household addressed to Fishel and Faivish from their grandmother inMiami.
The boys couldn’t wait to see what was inside.
“I’m opening it. My name is first on the label” declared Fishel.
“Oh yeah? Well if you read it from right to left my name is first” retorted Faivish.
“Who reads English from right to left?” said Fishel rudely.
“I’ll read it whichever way I want” snarled Faivish.
Instead of replying Fishel snatched the box. Faivish tried to grab it away. A tug of war ensued which ended up in the box being torn open and each brother declaring himself the victor. It was a wonder the item inside remained intact.
Fishel and Faivish gazed at the item in open curiosity. They’d never seen anything like it. The packaging featured a picture of a strange-looking device flying through the air and bore the legend “Quadcopter. Defy gravity with this drone’s dizzying devilry. Full functions such as Up Down Turn Left/Right Sideward Flight Hovering Tumbling.”
“Wow!” breathed Fishel in awe.
“Double wow!” echoed Faivish forgetting to argue for a change.
The troublesome pair reverently removed the quadcopter from the box.
There was an instruction book and some safety warnings which Fishel and Faivish discarded without looking at. They were sure they could figure things out for themselves.
Then they took the quadcopter out into the front garden to try it out. After some trial and error they actually managed to get it up in the air but it kept trying to land again ignoring the instructions from the remote control much to Fishel and Faivish’s annoyance.
Suddenly an angry roar assailed their ears. Uh-oh. It was Mr. Krankowitz from next door.
“Hey! What are you two doing with that ridiculous flying monstrosity? How do I know it’s not going to come here and attack my roses?”
