One dark and stormy night. Peter and Tom were at
a bus stop after watching a late night show. They
were ___1___
for the bus to go home. The bus that had come
earlier was ___2___
crowded that they could not ___3___
get on it.
Ten minutes later, ___4___
bus arrived. This time, there were only a few ___5___
in the bus. The two boys ___6___
out their arms to flag it. However, the bus driver
ignored them and whizzed ___7___
without stopping. The boys stared after the
departing bus ___8___
dismay. It was past midnight already and they were
still not home. Their parents ___9___
probably be worried sick by now.
Finally, the ___10___
bus came. Strangely enough, this bus was ___11___
very slowly. The slow ___12___
of the bus, however, did not bother the boys. They
dashed ___13___
the bus happily and headed ___14___
the back seats.
As the boys looked ___15___
for the conductor, they realized to their great
shock that there was no one in the bus ___16___
themselves ! Not even the driver was ___17___.
As the boys sat petrified, they suddenly ___18___
two voices.
"I'm very hungry," said the first ___19___.
"I think there's some food left in the bus," ___20___
voice replied.
The boys did not wait to find out
___21___
the voices came from and who they belonged to. They
dashed ___22___
of the bus and ran as fast as their legs could ___23___
them. If they ___24___
stayed in the bus a little longer, they ___25___
have heard the first voice say:
"Hurry up and push harder. What a night for our
bus to break down!"
