The Bus That Took the Long Way Home

Mia takes the bus to the coast.

She gets on at the town centre.

The bus is blue and clean.

Mia sits by a wide window.

She can see the shops and trees.

An old man gets on with a small bag.

The driver says hello to him.

Mia does not need to hurry.

The bus leaves at ten.

It moves at a steady speed.

Soon, the town is far behind them.

The road goes past green fields.

Mia sees a red tractor in one field.

She wonders where the farmer is going.

Then the bus stops near a small hill.

The driver checks some gear under the bus.

He is calm and flexible, so he finds a way to fix it.

Mia looks out at the quiet hills.

She is happy to have time to look around.

At last, the bus reaches the sea.
