A H... H...


 

 It is sometimes very boring to be a millionaire. You have tried everything, you have had everything and you don’t know what to do. That’s why I decided to do something completely unexpected.

 I went to the nearest airport and said “A ticket to H … H… Himalaya please. I just wanted to feel the heat of sandy beaches and the atmosphere there. The airline clerk looked at me, paying attention to my clothes and absence of luggage and gave me the ticket I asked for. The first flight was in half an hour so I didn’t have much time to do anything else. I went to a check-in, then to my gate and boarded the plane. I was surprised that there weren’t any girls with flower-necklaces around their necks, but I let it go and found my seat. I sat comfortably and immediately fell asleep.

 After an hour or maybe two I was woken up by a beautiful flight attendant. She was offering lunch and I couldn’t refuse it, since I was very hungry. When she was serving my drink, I asked her about the best hotel in Honolulu, but she answered with a smile. “You mean Katmandu Sir?” she said. I looked at her with surprise. “Katmandu? Where is it?” I asked. “We are flying to Himalayas Sir, not to Hawaii! It is in Nepal.” she answered politely.

 I was shocked at first. What am I going to do among all those mountains, I thought? Anyway, I have never tried mountaineering. I could meet somebody new and it could be fun.
