Homesick

Homesick... Grandma's feeling homesick now. She wants to go home tomorrow if possible. Her "golden child" couldn't get her plane ticket for her to go home because she hasn't got the time. It is up to "the ugly duckling" to make arrangements for the ticket. Since grandma is faraway in the Far-Off palace, the ugly duckling doesn't know how grandma feels about going home a day later than planned. And so, the ugly duckling set off with her sister the cygnet and her friend the robin to settle the matriarch's transportation home on the morrow's journey.

When the three of them arrived in town,the ugly duckling went to the counter only to be disappointed. The counters had to shut down because their computer system is down and it had affected every other purchasing booths as well. With another plan in mind,the ugly duckling and her group went home. Another disappointment greeted the ugly duckling when she tried to book a ticket online for grandma - it is not possible for her to book tickets which is not within 48 hours!

She sighed. The ugly duckling had finished all her resources on trying to book a ticket for grandma. She thinks hard. Finally, she only has one option left,and that is to make another trip into town and try to book a ticket for grandma to fly on Thursday since it is less than 24 hours till Wednesday. If the computer system is still down the next morning, the only option she could use is to get grandma a flight ticket on Friday morning...

What will happen next? Will the ugly duckling be able to purchase a ticket to fly on Thursday? Or will grandma be forced to take the morning flight on Friday?...

To be continued........
