The Best Bus Driver
The Best Bus Driver
Mrs. Davis is a bus driver. She drives a big, yellow bus. Every day, she picks up kids for school.
Mrs. Davis wakes up early. She checks the bus. She makes sure it is clean and safe. The tires must be good. The lights must work. The seats must be safe.
She drives to each stop. Kids wait at the corner. They smile when they see Mrs. Davis. She opens the door. The kids hop on. "Good morning!" they say. "Good morning!" Mrs. Davis says back.
The bus is full of kids. They sing songs. They tell stories. Mrs. Davis listens. She keeps her eyes on the road. She wants everyone to be safe.
At school, the kids get off. They say, "Thank you, Mrs. Davis!" She smiles. She says, "Have a good day!" Mrs. Davis is the best bus driver.
