A short story

Four passengers are in a small plane. Only one of the passengers knew there were really only three parachutes. The plane runs out of gas, the pilot bails saying they don't pay me enough for this. The first passenger grabs the first of four parachutes saying I'm Miss Thing, I am perfect, pretty and spend more money in one week then most wealthy lower life forms spend in a year.

The second passenger grabs the second of four parachutes saying I am the king of kings, soon to rule all mankind. It is my destiny. The third passenger who is a decent man looks at the little girl and says you are our future so take the last parachute and save yourself. The little girl reveals to the good man that the second passenger, the false GOD grabbed my bookbag by mistake.
