TRAVEL MADE EASY

“How was your trip, Wally?” asked Grandma

Wally kissed her hands.
“It was fine, Grandma,” answered Wally,
yawning while stretching his arms, and shaking
his legs. “I slept almost throughout the way”.
“Why you lazy boy!” exclaimed Grandma.
“Then you didn’t see the beautiful scenery on
the countryside”.
 

“It was so nice riding on the bus,” explained

Wally. “The roads now are very smooth, unlike
the first time Father and I visited you after the
flood. A week had passed after that visit, yet
my body was still aching all over. We were like
mashed fruits after our ride over those pot
marked roads.
 

“It did not take long for the government to

have all the damaged roads repaired,”
agreed Grandma. “Thanks to our
government, things are back to normal
again.”
