Q, WRBANK. CAUF Mac! 'yldarlimcrv Our Selma! 15115 Early, every school morning a little yellow bus, named g'lVIortimer, chugs and chugs trying to get warmed up before he starts his journey. The bright sun feels good on his yellow coat as he heads for the bus stop. The bus seems cold and lonely at first but slowly the passengers increase in number and a low murmur is heard as they tell each other about the homework they did or did not do. By the time he gets to Pacoima the little bus is feeling chipper and his chugs have changed to purrs. All sizes and ages of children get on the bus. Being fond of children. LiM0fllHl6l',, waits and sometimes even honks to make sure no one misses school. Wihen someone is absent he gets an empty feeling in his motor and also an empty seat on his hack. The little bus is proud of himself because his windows are all shiny and clear, and his yellow coat sparkles in the sunlight. Soon he reaches San Fernando and the load becomes heavier, but that doesn't discourage him. The more the merrierf' is his motto. Then he turns around and heads for Roscoe where others are waiting, and then to the Villa. Sometimes on rainy days Mortimer gets a bad cough, so he has to stay in his ugarage homef' Then he feels very sad for his little black cousin, commonly called 'fthe meat wagonf, takes his place. His cousin didn't grow very large so he has to make quite a few trips to get the children to school. When '5lVIortimer is well on rainy days, he really takes it like a soldier. He has to wade through puddles, get rain all over the windshield and in his headlight, and mud all over his rubbers. But does he complain? No! On hot days dust gets all over him and chokes his motor, but he travels along cheerfully just the same. Finally, at evening, when all the children have been taken to their homes safely. lVlortimer trudges to his home, his windows smudged with fingerprints, dirt on the floor, sweaters and books forgotten on the seats, and a window rattling here or there. 'ilVIortimer gets his cleansing bath then nestles in his garage, closes his head- lights and thinks over the day gone hy, with a little smile on his bumper. 80
