Three scientists\u2014Papaia, Banani, Ravioli\u2014and their assistant Igor, who were supposed to attend the famous dark matter conference, miss their flight and end up on the other side of the world. Arriving at the wrong airport, they book a hotel for the night, but it\u2019s not exactly what they expected\u2026 meaning, it\u2019s awful. Banani, while trying to collect rainwater, gets his arm trapped in the narrow window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re in Papaia\u2019s room.
In the middle of the night, Papaia is snoring in his room when he hears the phone ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Hello, who\u2019s this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Hello? It\u2019s Banani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Banani, what do you want at this hour?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Help! My arm is stuck outside the window!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Window? Which window?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: The one in my room! The only one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: How did you end up like this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: I was collecting rainwater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: And why did you start doing something like that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Because I was thirsty and ran out of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: But don\u2019t you always carry a water bottle in your pocket toolkit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Yeah, I know, but I used that to take a shower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Shower? Wouldn\u2019t it have been better to use the sink, like I did?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: I tried that too, but there\u2019s no water in my room!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Ah, I get it! You wanted to take a shower, but there was no water. So you used the water bottle from your toolkit, then tried to refill it with rainwater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia thinks for a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Wait a second\u2026 but it\u2019s not raining outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: No, not now. But it was raining when I stuck my arm out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Ah, now it makes sense! But wouldn\u2019t it have been easier to just buy that water on sale from the porter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Believe me! I tried to do that, but it didn\u2019t work. The porter was sleeping and got mad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Ok! Now I understand everything. But why are you telling me all this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: I was hoping you could kindly come here and help me pull my arm out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: You mean pull your arm in, not out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Yes, exactly! You need to help me, because I can\u2019t do it by myself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: That\u2019s a lot of stairs! Are you sure there\u2019s no other solution?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: No, I can\u2019t think of anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Ok! If there\u2019s no other way, I\u2019ll have to climb the stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: I swear, if Papaia ever worked at a fire department hotline, the building would be ashes by the time he finished asking for details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026 ‘So let me get this straight\u2026 you\u2019re saying there\u2019s a fire? And it\u2019s in a building? And buildings can burn?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026 Fascinating! Tell me more!’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
