The driver arrived at the Al-Jufa Hotel and parked his car in front of it.
The pilot and his companions got out of the car and began walking around. They admired the location of the hotel; the surrounding mountains were full of trees.
Kasha asked the pilot, "Is the waterfall near here?"
The captain looked at her and said, "I will drown in that waterfall and hide from you. I am tired of hearing you talk about it."
The pilot then answered calmly, "We will ask the hotel staff about the place. They live here and know it well."
Everyone carried their bags, and the pilot asked the driver to stay with them for the evening and take them to the waterfall the next day.
The driver liked the offer and promised to drive them around beautiful places.
Inside the hotel, the receptionist greeted them and asked, "How many nights would you like to stay?"
The pilot replied, "One night. I would like to book two rooms — one single room and one room with three beds."
The receptionist smiled and said, "Alright. Here are the keys for Room 17 and Room 19. Go upstairs, and have a good night."
Before going to their rooms, the pilot asked about the location of the waterfall — the Schutiben Falls.
The hotel worker told him, "It's not far from here, only three hours by car."
At that moment, the commander noticed the television near the reception. On the screen, small war drones were fighting each other. He called the pilot over, saying, "Come here and watch! It's a battle between drones."
The pilot was surprised by the scene and asked the worker, "Are these planes sold here?"
The worker laughed and said, "No, it's just a movie about inventions of the future."
Kasha was startled and said to the worker, "They attacked my sister! She's hiding from them in the clouds."
The worker laughed again and replied, "I think you already know how the movie ends. Maybe you watched it before coming here. Now, go to the king's room."
The pilot and Kasha looked at each other nervously: "Will the Emperor stay here? He will kill us."
The receptionist reassured them: "The King and his family are gone. They came here on a picnic and stayed at our hotel for a few days. He was in Room 17. Why are you afraid of him?"
Kasha laughed and said, "We mean the king who left the TV and never came back. When I was watching him in the movie, I shouted at him. He was looking for a picture of someone who resembled my sister. He wanted her because she had taken his palace. So I said to myself: I must save my sister."
The receptionist clapped and said, "Wow, you have such a vivid imagination! I can't wait to see your movie. But tell me, where did your sister go?"
Kasha replied, "My sister is a cloud rider from the future. I think the king has caught up to her."
The worker asked, "Interesting story. When will they come back?"
Kasha answered, "At the waterfall."
The worker nodded: "Ah, so that's why you keep asking about the waterfall. You want to act out a scene there."
Kasha then went to her room, singing softly:
The waterfall does not need us
The waterfall does not stop
The waterfall loves peace
Its splashing waters sing with joy,
leaping with hope,
flowing with harmony.
