Storytime Wednesday, No. 1

Once upon a rainy day, the young boys along with their mother decided to go for a bus ride. They waited both patiently and impatiently for the bus to arrive."Is that the bus?" asked the oldest boy
"No. That is a yellow car." answered his mother.
"Is that the bus?" he asked again.
"No. That is red pick-up truck." answered his mother.
"Is that the bus?" he asked.
"No. That is a white station wagon." answered his mother.
18 hours 5 minutes later, they heard a familiar roar of an engine and the oldest boy exclaimed,
"That's the bus. Now I remember! There it is!"
"Phew" sighed his mother.
The young boys along with their mother took the bus all the way downtown. Two blocks and 90 seconds later, they arrived. Dodging cars and raindrops, they carefully crossed the street and found their friend sitting at their favourite croissant shop."Would you like to join us on our bus adventure?" asked the oldest boy.
"I would", his friend replied.
And so they chose the first bus they saw, climbed aboard... and took it to their destination: Absolutely-Nowhere's-Ville. The youngest boy fell asleep. The oldest boy along with his friend did not.They rode through puddles. They rode around bends and over bridges. They rode and they rode...until at last, the bus stopped. And there they exited...down the steps...and out the door."What now?" the oldest boy along with his friend asked.
"Food" the mother replied.
And so the two friends ate...side by side...planning their next great adventure.Until then...
The End.
