Two friends were waiting at the bus-stop for the last bus but they were afraid that they had missed it.
There were no cars passing by and not a single public telephone nearby to call for a taxi. They began to
feel nervous. It was already late. What could they do to get home?
Then, as they looked up, they saw a bus approaching them slowly. The last bus! They had not missed
it after all.
When the bus stopped at the bus-stop, the two young boys rushed up the bus in relief. Then, the bus
started moving. Only after a few minutes did the boys realize that something was seriously wrong.
Firstly, the bus was moving far too slowly. Secondly, there was no conductor to collect their fare.
Thirdly, when they went to the front of the bus to check, there was no driver!
With their hair standing on ends, they looked at each other with eyes wide open and started to scream.
Then the bus stopped! The driver and the conductor appeared from behind the bus. They had been
pushing it!
