Bus Driver Hi! I’m the bus driver. Listen, I’ve got to leave for a little

Thanks. Oh, and remember: Don’t Let the Pigeons Drive the
Bus!

Pigeon 1 I thought he’d never leave.

Pigeon 2 Hey, can we drive the bus? Please? We’ll be careful.

Pigeon 1 I tell you what: I’ll just steer.

Pigeon 2 My cousin Herb drives a bus almost every day! True story.

Pigeon 1 Vroom-vroom vroomy vroom-vroom!


Pigeon 2 Pigeon at the Wheel!

Pigeon 1 No? I never get to do anything!

Pigeon 2 Hey, I’ve got an idea. Let’s play “Drive the Bus”!

Pigeon 1 I’ll go first!

Pigeon 2 C’mon! Just once around the block!

Pigeon 1 I’ll be your best friend! How ‘bout I give you five bucks?

Pigeon 2 No fair! I bet your mom would let me.

Pigeon 1 What’s the big deal!? It’s just a bus!!!

Pigeon 2 We have dreams you know!

Pigeon 1 Fine.

Pigeon 1 and 2 LET US DRIVE THE BUS!!!

Bus Driver I’m back! You didn’t let the pigeons drive the bus did you?
Great! Thanks a lot.
