One day I was going to school just as usual on the bus. Suddenly, the bus jolted to a stop. We were in a ditch! To make matters worse, the doors weren’t opening. “Aaaaaah,” I screamed, “What are we going to do?!” The kids on the bus heard me and started yelling and running around, while a teenager yelled about no WiFi. Then, a bird got loose from its cage and started flying around the bus, attacking people! It was a complete commotion.

Suddenly, a fire truck came into sight. It pulled up next to the bus by the window. Everyone got out except for the bus driver, who got stuck half in the bus, half out. The firefighters had to cut the windowsill away. While they were doing that, it started to pour rain and washed everyone off the road. Finally, I could get to school, but it was already the end of the day and school had ended.
