Not always what it seems

This story was passed along to me today in an email. I don't have any information on who originally told the story but I liked it and the lesson it conveys so I thought I would pass it on. Donna

A man was flying from Seattle to San Francisco.Unexpectedly, the plane stopped in Sacramento along the way. The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft, the plane would re-board in 50 minutes. Everybody got off the plane except one gentleman who was blind. The man had noticed him as he walked by and could tell the gentleman was blind because his seeing eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats infront of him throughout the entire flight. He could also tell he had flown this very flight before because thepilot approached him, and calling him by name, said, "Bill, we're in Sacramento for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretchyour legs? "The blind man replied, "No thanks, but maybe my dog would like to stretch his legs."Picture this:All the people in the gate area came to a complete standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a Seeing Eye dog! The pilot was even wearing sunglasses. People scattered. They not only tried to change planes, but they were trying to change airlines! True story... Have a great day and remember... things aren't always as they appear.
