The whining bus

Mum and Mary were heading into town. 

It was a rainy day so they decided to take the bus.

Joe liked the bus, so did Mary. 

 Mary liked to watch the world go by while she sat in a comfortable seat.

They got on Mum paid the driver and they all sat down.

As the driver pulled away from the stop and into the road the bus let out a loud

“SSSHHHRRREEEEKKKK” as it turned!

“What was that?” asked a shaken Mary?

The bus turned and moaned again before mum could answer.

“Is the bus alright?” Asked Mary.

The driver overheard and could see Mary's concern. 

“The bus is fine, its been sat still all night in the garage and just needs a wee stretch to loosen up.”

“See,” said mum, “Its just like us if we sit still for too long, we get all stiff too”

“I'll make sure I do lots of stretching too,” said Mary as she moved her arms about.

The bus quietened down as it loosened up as they reached their stop.

Mum and Mary thanked the driver and hoped the bus would be much better soon, Joe just giggled as they headed into town for the days shopping.
