SCHOOL BUS

SCHOOL KIDS PACKED IN THE BUS I forgot it was 4 PM. Schools close and children were waiting for the line bus. I too waited patiently. When the bus came all rushed in. I was in the middle. By the time the doorway was packed with children, I managed to have a foothold on the step. There was no way to get inside. The bus moved and several grown up people were hanging on from the steps. After some passengers got out at the next stop, I was able to be inside the bus which was packed like cattle in a van carrying them to the slaughter house. I felt I am one of the cattle. When my point came, I got out and paid the conductor my fare. Every day the school children travel like this. They are the lower middle class ones who do not go by school bus. Each has to pay only one rupee as bus fare!
