Learning to Be Safe
A Bus Ride Jacob, Jack and Sara go out everyday for a bus ride with their father. Let us see what happens one day when the bus was late.
Jacob, Jack and Sara loved going on the bus. Jacob and Jack liked to sit near the window, so they could watch the cars, motor bikes and people on the road.
One day, the bus was late.
Father got a bar of chocolate each for Jacob, Jack and Sara.
He asked them to wait while he went to buy tickets.
Before going, father said, “You must never talk to strangers when you are outside.You must never go anywhere with them. They might harm you.”
As Jacob, Jack and Sara were sitting on the bench, a stranger came to them and said, “Hello! Do you know where the canteen is? I am thirsty and want to get something to drink, maybe a tin of juice.”Jacob pointed in the direction of the canteen and said, “Yes, it is behind the ticket booth.”
The stranger said, “Can you come along and show me, please?” Jacob suddenly remembered his father’s advice, and politely refused.
“Honk! Honk!” went the horn of the bus. Just then the bus entered from the gate, and they heard their father’s voice. “Hurry up, children. The bus is here!”he said. The three children happily got up from the bench, and rushed towards their father. They were going to ride the bus again!
