Hi! Today, I… Oh, excuse me… "Hello. Sorry, I can't talk right now. I'm very busy. Bye."

Sorry, I just had a phone call. Speaking of phone calls, let me tell you all about the world's first "drone call".
不好意思,我剛剛在講電話。說到電話,讓我告訴你世界上第一個用無人機打電話的故事。

Drones are small machines that fly. Some drones have cameras.

A man called Casey lives in Oregon. It snows there in the winter. One day, he drove his car into the mountains. There was so much snow, his car couldn't move.

Casey: Oh no!

Casey 住在奧勒岡州,那裏冬天會下雪。有一天,他在山上開車的時候,被積雪困住了。

Casey tried to use his cellphone. He wanted to send a text message. But his cellphone wouldn't work! There was too much snow!
Casey 想要用手機傳簡訊,但是發不出去。

Casey is a photographer. His job is taking pictures. This means he has a camera drone in his car. He tied his cellphone to the drone.

His drone flew high into the sky! Casey's plan worked! His cellphone was sending texts again!

People quickly came to help him. Casey was saved.
