Chapter 1: Life near the airport

The Martinez family lived in a cozy house located near the busy airport. Father Peter, mother Samantha and their curious daughter Jessica lived in the same house with an unexpected but beloved person – a tiny mouse named Jordan.

Jordan wasn’t just an ordinary mouse. He was a brave little adventurer with a heart as big as the sky above his head. From the moment he appeared in the Martinez family’s life, he became a part of their family, sharing their joys and adventures.

Every day, the Martinez family gathered at the window, and their eyes shone with excitement as they watched the planes soaring gracefully in the clouds. The sound of jet engines coming from afar filled their house with a sense of wonder and anticipation.

For Jordan, living near the airport was an inexhaustible source of admiration. He often sat perched on the windowsill, and his mustache twitched with excitement as he watched the planes take off and land, imagining what faraway places they could go.

Despite the hustle and bustle of the airport, life in the Martinez family was peaceful and full of love. Peter, Samantha and Jessica adored their tiny mouse friend, treated him with kindness and affection.

Chapter 2: Weekend by plane

It was a bright, sunny morning, and there was excitement in the air as the Martinez family prepared for their weekend adventure. Father Peter, mother Samantha and their daughter Jessica were bustling around the house, packing suitcases and rechecking tickets, while Jordan the mouse watched with wide eyes, impatiently waiting for what lay ahead.

– Are you ready, Jordan? – Jessica asked, kneeling down to stroke the mouse’s head.

– We’re going on a plane trip!

Jordan’s mustache twitched with anticipation as he reached into Jessica’s pocket, ready to join his friends on their exciting journey.

Soon the whole family got into the car and drove to the airport, and with every mile the joyful hum grew louder. When they arrived at the terminal, Jordan’s heart began to beat faster with excitement. He had never flown on an airplane before, and the thought of soaring in the clouds filled him with a sense of amazement.

After checking in their luggage and going through security, the Martinez family boarded the plane, found their seats and prepared for the flight. Jordan looked out of Jessica’s pocket and watched, wide-eyed with awe, as the flight attendants bustled around the cabin, preparing for takeoff.

As the engines roared and the plane taxied onto the runway, Jordan felt a surge of excitement. The feeling of being lifted off the ground, when the earth is left behind and he soars into the sky, was unlike anything he had ever experienced before.

They soared higher, higher, higher, the earth went out from under their feet, and they rose higher and higher into the sky. Jordan pressed his nose against the window, admiring the breathtaking view below, the tiny houses and winding rivers that turned into tiny dots as they flew.

For Jordan, flying was a magical adventure, a journey into the unknown, full of wonders and excitement. And when they landed at their destination and headed home, Jessica couldn’t wait to tell her little mouse friend about their incredible adventure.

«Jordan the mouse,» she exclaimed, her eyes shining with excitement,

«Flying a plane was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen!» You should just see the clouds and the view from above. It was like we were flying with the birds!

Chapter 3: Plane Ticket

The Martinez family returned to their home after the weekend, and Mouse Jordan couldn’t shake the feeling of elation that was in the air. Watching the planes fly by lit a spark in him, filling him with the desire to go on his own aerial adventure.

One evening, as the family gathered for dinner, Jordan ran up to Father Peter, his mustache quivering with impatience. «Father Peter,» he squeaked, tugging at Peter’s pant leg, «I want to fly on a plane too!» —

Peter’s eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the determined little mouse. – Will you take a plane? – he repeated with a note of uncertainty in his voice.

«But, Jordan, you’re a mouse. Mice don’t fly on airplanes.

But Jordan was not confused by this. «Please, Father Peter,» he pleaded, his eyes shining with determination.

– I want to see the world from above. I want to soar in the clouds and feel the wind in my fur. Please buy me a plane ticket.

Peter glanced at Samantha and Jessica, who were watching the exchange with surprise. After a moment of silent reflection, he turned to Jordan with a smile. «Okay, Jordan,» he said, his voice warm with tenderness. «If that’s what you want, then we’ll do it.»

And so, with a sense of excitement and anticipation, the Martinez family began preparing Jordan for the first flight. They bought a tiny plane ticket for him, complete with his own miniature armchair and a tiny table on a tray.

The day of departure was approaching, and Jessica helped Jordan pack his things to make sure he had everything he needed for the trip. They even built him a small travel backpack in which he could put his belongings, complete with a miniature map of the world.
