Looking at an aeroplane it is like a beautiful bird flying on high. The pilot is not only skilful but also brave/courageous, and he understands the machine very well but half of his job is still in front of him. He has to go back to the airport where he started, flying behind the cloud, between sky and water, he is flying the plane, slicing through the air, like a mechanical bird. Who wouldn’t wish to sit in the pilot seat and fly high where only the bird can go?

The brave soldiers are sitting in the tank which is able to go through even barbed wire to get to the enemy to defend your territory. The enemy is always running away when they see the tanks because they fear not only the tank driver but the cannons. The brave Hungarian tank soldiers had a lot of glories and because of their bravery in the World War, everybody is remembering them. The person who would drive the tank could be proud to do the job for his country.

From the deck of the fighting ship we can see the cannons which we can fire long distance, aerials which can receive messages sent by the radio. There are many hundreds of people on a fighting ship, which is not only attacking but also defending, and doing other jobs too if it is necessary, such as carrying troops, food or petrol from one port to another. The ship is protected by thick steel armor and only very strong fire can hurt it – it really looks like a floating castle whose commander is the captain. It is beautiful to see such a war ship on which brave sailors are doing their job for their country.

These two Hungarian soldiers - infantry men specially trained to fire machine guns at aeroplanes - are doing a good job. We can thank them as foreign aeroplanes cannot come over our cities and villages. Who would not do this job gladly, this beautiful but hard job of firing squad: they are quick, skilful, brave Hungarian soldiers.

My dear friend, do you like these things we wrote for you? If you have a look at the pictures you can finish them; you don’t need anything but patience and a little bit of skill. You cut out the patches, and finish the pictures.
