Turbulência (Estórias hilárias do Duolingo)

(Oscar is sitting on a plane next to his friend Lucy. They're flying to an art show). Lucy: You should try to sleep. You have a big day tomorrow. A lot of people will see your art! Oscar: You're right! I might become famous!! (The plane shakes. Lucy closes her eyes and relaxes.) Oscar: What was that ??? Lucy: Nothing... It's just a little turbulence. Oscar: Maybe we hit a bird. Lucy: Relax. Flying is very safe. (The plane suddenly makes a loud noise) (Oscar looks stressed) Oscar: I saw lightning!!! That's not good! Maybe lightning wil hit our plane!!! Lucy: Yeah, maybe, it happens all the time. ...Years ago, I was flying over New Zeland and lightning hit the plane. It was fine. Oscar: Oh, good. Lucy: The plane crashed, and I broke my arm. Or was it my leg? I can't remember. But it was fine. Oscar: That's not fine! (The plane starts shaking again. Oscar starts to look very worried). Oscar: We're going to die I'll never be famous. (Oscar starts to cry) Lucy: Oscar, if you die tragically, you'll definitely become famous! ... A lot of artists become famous after they die. Like Van Gogh! Oscar: That's true ... I'll be dead, but at least I'll be famous!
(The pilot makes an announcement). PILOT: There was a little turbulence, but everything will be calm for the rest of the flight. Lucy: Oh, good. We're going to live. Now you can relax. Oscar: I can't relax. Now I'll never be famous!
