Sara and Ben were very excited to go to the air show with their dad. They loved to see the big jets fly in the sky and make loud noises. Dad said they would also see a special display of old planes that were used in a big war.
When they got to the air show, they saw many jets parked on the ground. Some were shiny and new, and some were old and rusty. Sara and Ben ran to look at them and touch them. Dad told them to be careful and not to climb on them.
"Look, Dad, this jet has a star on it!" Sara said, pointing to a red and white plane.
"That's a Soviet jet, Sara. It was used by our enemies in the big war. But now we are friends with them," Dad explained.
"Wow, that's cool. And look, this jet has a cross on it!" Ben said, pointing to a black and yellow plane.
"That's a German jet, Ben. It was also used by our enemies in the big war. But now we are friends with them, too," Dad said.
Sara and Ben nodded. They wondered how the jets could be friends after fighting in the big war. They wanted to see them fly and make peace signs.
Soon, the air show started. The jets took off and flew in the sky. They made loops and twists and turns. They flew very fast and very high. Sara and Ben clapped and cheered. They loved the jets.
Then, the old planes came out. They were smaller and slower than the jets. They had propellers and wings. They looked like toys. Sara and Ben were not very impressed.
But then, something amazing happened. The old planes started to shoot at each other. They made loud bangs and smoke. They pretended to be in the big war. Sara and Ben gasped. They were scared.
"Dad, why are they shooting at each other? I thought they were friends!" Sara cried.
"Don't worry, Sara. It's just a display. They are not really shooting. They are just showing us how they fought in the big war. It's like a game," Dad said.
"But it's not a fun game, Dad. It's a scary game. I don't like it," Ben said.
"I know, Ben. It's not a fun game. It's a sad game. That's why we don't want to have another big war. We want to have peace and friendship," Dad said.
Sara and Ben hugged their dad. They understood. They hoped the old planes would stop shooting and be friends.
The air show ended. The jets and the old planes landed. Sara and Ben were hungry. Dad took them to a food truck. They bought hot dogs and ice cream. They ate them and smiled. They were delicious. They forgot about the scary display. They were happy.
