Flying

Looking up into the air, I see a plane flying high above me. As humans, we are not really meant to fly; we do not have wings, we do not have feathers. Instead with two legs and two arms, we were once restricted to just the ground. With the invention of the plane, thanks to the efforts of the Wright Brothers and so many others, humans can fly in the air just like birds. So what is it that makes a plane fly? A really powerful engine? Possibly. But as I put my glasses on to see the plane better, I could see what looked like a dark cloud in front of the plane. The cloud was moving at the same speed as the plane, all the time remaining about a hundred yards in front of it. So either that dark could was just a really fast moving raincloud, or it was thousands of birds attached to the plane by very strong wires, pulling it forward. They were all working together to keep the plane from falling to the ground. I am going to go with the bird theory because it's the more "realistic" explanation for my simple, dream world.
