           The Man Who Missed the Plane

James wrote a play for television, about an immigrant family who came to England from Pakistan, and the problems they had settling down in England. The play was extremely successful, and it was bought by an American TV company.

James was invited to go to New York to help with the production. He lived in Dulwich, which is an hour's journey away from Heathrow. The flight was due to leave at 8 '.30 a. m., so he had to be at the airport about 7:30 in the morning. He ordered a taxi for 6:30, set his alarm for 5:45, and went to sleep. Unfortunately he forgot to wind the clock, and it stopped shortly after midnight. Also the driver of the taxi had to work very late that night and overslept.

James woke with the awful feeling that something was wrong. He looked at his alarm clock. It stood there silently, with the hands pointing to ten past twelve. He turned on the radio and discovered that it was, in fact, ten to nine. He swore quietly and switched on the electric kettle.

He was pouring water into the teapot when the announcer began to read the news. "Reports are coming in of a crash near Heathrow Airport. A Boeing 707 bound for New York crashed shortly after taking off this morning. Flight number 2234. . . "James went pale.

"My flight," he said out loud. "If I hadn't overslept. I'd have been on that plane. "

詹姆斯为电视写了一个剧本，讲的是一户移民人家从巴基斯坦来到英国，以及他们安家过程中遇到的问题。这个剧本极为成功，美国一家电视公司买了这个剧本。

詹姆斯杯邀请到纽约去帮助录制这个剧。他住在杜尔威治，离希思罗（机场）有一小时路程。班级将在早上八点半钟起飞，因此他在早上七点半左右就得到大机场。他订了一辆出租车六点半来接他，把闹钟定到五点四十五分，然后就睡着了。不幸他忘了上钟，在午夜之后不久钟就不走了。而出租车司机这天晚上工作的很晚，也睡过头了。

詹姆斯醒来时有除了什么事的感觉。他看了看闹钟。它立在那里不走了，时针指着十二点十分。他打开收音机，发现这会儿已经是八点五十。他轻轻地骂了一句，然后把电水壶开关打开。

他正在把水倒进茶壶时，播音员开始播送新闻“……在希思罗机场附近传来飞机坠毁的消息。今天早上一架飞往纽约的波音707飞机在起飞后不久坠毁，航班号为224……”詹姆斯脸色一下变白了。

“这就是我要乘坐的那架飞机，”他大声说道，“如果我不是睡过了头，我也会在那架飞机上的。”
