 The Ecuadorian captain had grown increasingly anxious over rumors of an impending air strike from neighboring Peru.
"Pedro," he ordered his aide-de-camp, "I want you to climb that mountain and report any signs of Peruvian military activity."
"Si, Capitano," replied Pedro. He trudged up the mountain, and as soon as he crossed the ridge he saw a squadron of planes heading their way.
 "There are many planes coming, Capitano," he promptly radioed back.
"Friends or enemies?" the Captain demanded urgently.
Pedro again lifted his binoculars to the sky. "They're flying very closely together, Capitano," he replied. "I think they may befriends." |
