Tin Trong, the Little Bus

Author: Prom Kunthearo

Illustrator: Keo Phunphalla

Translator: Alisha Berger

There is a little bus called Tin Trong. He drives a long way every day!

Tin Trong drives uphill and downhill.

He drives in sun and rain, dust and mud.

One day, Tin Trong is exhausted.

He reaches his parking space late.

Tin Trong coughs. Khoo, Khoo, Khong, Khong!

He is too sick to drive tomorrow.

The next day, Tin Trong calls in sick.

He knows how to feel better. He needs a rest and a good tune up!

Ngeet Ngeet!

Cheet, Cheet!

Bang Bang!

Bang Bang!

Ngeet Ngeet!

Cheet, Cheet!

Bang Bang!

Bang Bang!

Now, Tin Trong feels better.

Actually, he feels great!

Tin Trong asks for one more thing. He asks for a bath.

Then he takes a nap. He has to wake up early tomorrow!

The next day, Tin Trong is strong again.

He travels straight ahead.

He travels back and forth, left and right.

Tin Tin…

Tet Tet…

Tin Tin…

Tin Trong takes the bus riders home one by one. They are happy.

"We missed you yesterday," they say.

"But everyone needs a rest sometimes!"
