Big Blue Bus
There was only one
bus in Ebei's
village. It was big
and blue. It was
very noisy.
"Tomorrow we will
go to town," said
Ebei's mother. "We
will buy your school
uniform."
Ebei was very
excited. They would
travel in the big
blue bus. He could
not sleep that
night.
When his mother
came to wake
him, Ebei was
already dressed.
Ebei and his
mother walked to
the bus stop. They
waited for the big
blue bus. But the
bus did not come.
Other people
arrived at the bus
stop. They
complained
because the bus
was late. "Where is
the bus?" they
asked.
Ebei was worried.
"We will not be able
to go to town," he
thought. "I will not
be able to get my
uniform."
Some people gave
up and went home.
Ebei cried. He did
not want to go.
"We will wait a bit
longer," said his
mother.
Suddenly, they
heard a noise. They
saw dust in the air.
The bus was
coming!
But this bus was
not blue. It was not
big. It was red and
small. The people
did not want to get
in this bus.
"Get in! Get in!"
shouted the driver.
"We are very late
today," he called.
Ebei and his
mother got in first.
Soon everyone else
got in the small red
bus.
Ebei looked out the
window. He saw
more people at the
bus stop.
Even more people
were running to
catch the bus. But
they were too late.
The red bus was
full. It left for town.
"Where is the big
blue bus?" asked
Ebei's mother. "It
broke down,"
replied the
driver. "We are
fixing it. It will
come tomorrow."
Ebei did not care
about the colour of
the bus. He did not
care about the size.
This bus was going
to town!
