I wanted to say ‘Thank you’. She looked at me very strangely, and then laughed. “Another aeroplane? Up there in this storm? No other aeroplanes were flying tonight. Yours was the only one I could see on the radar.” So, who helped me…

I wanted that breakfast. ‘I’ll take the risk,’ I thought and flew that old Dakota straight into the storm.

Based on the given extract, choose the option that lists the meme which would be the most appropriate response to “…it was an easy flight”?
