Peter: ?Will you sit next to me on the bus, Maria??
Maria: ?Of course, I like sitting with my friends on the bus.I sat next to Chris yesterday, and we pretended to be like animals, together?
Peter: ?Hahaha! What kind of animals??
Maria: ?We pretended to be alligators and tigers. Rawrl?And hippopotamuses??
Peter: ?Hahaha! That sounds like fun. Can we pretend to be like animals in the bus today, too?
Maria: ?Sure, Peter, but we have to remember to stay seated while we are on the bus. It?s not safe to get up while the bus is moving.?
Peter: ?How do you know that??
Maria: ?Let me tell you about what happened on the bus, yesterday. Chris and I were looking at Chris's Book about tigers. It was so cool! There were pictures of orange tigers and white tigers. Then, out of nowhere, we went over a bump! We jumped the book and it landed far away. Don?t worry! I?ll get it, I said. ?What!?,Chris said,?You should remain seated until the bus driver says that it is okay to stand?, he told me. ?But, I?m going to get your book!?, ?I said. Then we went over another bump. And I fell back into my seat. ?Are you okay??, Chris said. ?Yes?, I said, ?But you are right! It is safer to stay seated while you are on the bus.We can get the book when we get there and when the bus driver says it is okay to stand.? It was a good thing we decided to stay seated on the bus because we went over five more bumps! But it was fun staying seated. We pretended to be tigers until we got there. Rawrrr. Hehe?
Peter: ?Wow you are right, Maria. It is safer to stay seated on the bus. But can we still pretend to be seating animals??
Maria: ?Of course. I?m going t be a bird sitting on someone?s shoulder. Tweet Tweet Tweet?
Peter: ?And I?m going to be a cat sitting on a fence. Meow Meow. And I?m hungry for a bird.?
Maria: ?Oh no! Tweet Tweet Tweet!?
Peter: ?Haha!
