A day in the life of a bus driver
|
|
The alarm rings. It is six o'clock. Maniam gets up
wearily. It is the start of another day ferrying
school kids to
and from school.At six-thirty, after a hurried bath, Maniam starts his
old 22-seater bus and moves off. He goes along a regular
route picking up children to send to various schools. By
seven, all the regular children, except one who is ill, is on
the bus. Maniam drives carefully through the busy roads.
He stops at four different schools, dropping off some children at each. He plans his drive carefully so as to reach the last school by seven-thirty. Otherwise some children will be late for school and he gets the blame. At seven-thirty two, his bus is empty and the roads are magically less congested. Most of the children are in the classrooms. Maniam stops by at a stall to have his breakfast. Come eleven-thirty, he picks up other school children for the afternoon session. By twelve-thirty he has sent all the children to the schools safely. At one o'clock he collects his first batch of children from a school. Then he proceeds to three other schools to collect the others. After collecting the children he sends them home. Maniam has lunch at home and takes a nap. At three o'clock he cleans up the bus. At six in the evening, Maniam goes on his last round of collecting the children from the schools. He safely sends them home by seven thirty. Then Maniam goes home, takes a bath, has dinner and watches television for a while before retiring to bed. Thus end yet another day in the life of a bus driver. |
There was once a little Kid whose growing horns made him
think he was a grown-up Billy Goat and able to take care of himself. So one
evening when the flock started home from the pasture and his mother called, the
Kid paid no heed and kept right on nibbling the tender grass. A little later
when he lifted his head, the flock was gone.
He was all alone. The sun was sinking. Long shadows came
creeping over the ground. A chilly little wind came creeping with them making
scary noises in the grass. The Kid shivered as he thought of the terrible Wolf.
Then he started wildly over the field, bleating for his mother. But not
half-way, near a clump of trees, there was the Wolf!
The Kid knew there was little hope for him.
"Please, Mr. Wolf," he said trembling, "I
know you are going to eat me. But first please pipe me a tune, for I want to
dance and be merry as long as I can."
The Wolf liked the idea of a little music before eating, so
he struck up a merry tune and the Kid leaped and frisked gaily.
Meanwhile, the flock was moving slowly homeward. In the
still evening air the Wolf's piping carried far. The Shepherd Dogs pricked up
their ears. They recognized the song the Wolf sings before a feast, and in a
moment they were racing back to the pasture. The Wolf's song ended suddenly,
and as he ran, with the Dogs at his heels, he called himself a fool for turning
piper to please a Kid, when he should have stuck to his butcher's trade.
Moral: Do not let anything turn you from your purpose.
