At the bus stop the passengers huddled into the shelter. It seemed ages before the bus drew up. Then, just as Emily and her mum were about to board, the driver shouted, “Sorry, luv, we’ve full up!” The doors squeaked shut, leaving Emily and her mum on the pavement.
“Oh no!” complained Emily. “That’s terrible” and they set out for a long miserable walk home.
