Untuk memendekkan cerita yang panjang, kisah Eurocopter Malaysia dan Brazil boleh kita gambarkan macam ni. Kita ada beli kereta. Dua Hari lepas tu jiran sebelah rumah kita tu pun beli kereta. Kereta dia pulak tu yang sama model dengan kereta baru kita ni. Dengan muka bangganya jiran kita tu kata, “Hahaha….aku beli kereta ni lagi murah daripada ko tau”.

Kita dengan terbakarnya pun jawab le, “Eleh, memang le kereta ko tu murah. Ko beli yang tak ada sport rim, tak ada tinted,tak ada spoiler, kusyen ko bukan kulit! Lainlah mcm kereta aku ni, semua tu ada tau. CD player aku siap boleh main MP3 lagi.Bleh main DVD,ada LCD...Bukan mcm kereta ko yang CD player boleh main CD biasa jek…Hahaha”.
