Hey, listen, a very important person just left. He was driving this big, yellow bus, see? And he had to go, you know, for a little break. But before he zoomed off, he told you something super important. He said, "Don't let the pigeon drive the bus!" Can you believe that? Me? Drive the bus? What a silly idea!
Oh, hi there! So, I just noticed this bus. It's, like, right here. And, well, I have an idea! I could drive the bus! What do you think? I mean, I'm a bird, I'm good at flying, so driving? That's practically the same thing, right? No? Oh. Okay.
But seriously, can I drive the bus? Just for a little bit? I promise I'll be careful. I won't even go fast. Just a tiny spin around the block. Please? My cousin Herb drives a bus all the time, and he says it's a blast! You wouldn't want me to miss out on all the fun, would you?
Come on! Just let me steer! I'll hold it very, very steady. I'm a professional, you know. I have excellent hand-eye coordination. And wings! Think of how cool it would be. Everyone would say, "Look! That pigeon is driving the bus!" It would be amazing!
I'll tell you what. We can play a game! It's called "Drive the Bus," and I'll go first! That sounds like a great plan, doesn't it? We'll have so much fun. I could pick up all my friends! We could go anywhere! The park! The beach! Maybe even to the hot dog stand!
What do you mean, no?! Ugh! You never let me do anything! I really, really, really want to drive the bus! I'll give you five bucks! How about that? A whole five dollars! Or... I could clean the bus for you! For free! I'll make it sparkle! Just let me drive!
Oh, please, please, PLEASE! I'm begging you! I'm practically crying here! It's my life's dream! My feathers are ruffled just thinking about it! I just want to feel the wind in my... well, you know. The wind. Behind the wheel. Is that so much to ask?!
Fine! If you're not going to let me drive the bus, then I'll just sit here and be sad. Very, very sad. My little pigeon heart is breaking. This is the worst day ever. I never get to do anything fun. It's just not fair!
Oh, wait. Is that the bus driver coming back? Well, I guess my chance is gone. He's getting in. He's driving away. Hmph. Buses. Who needs 'em anyway? But hey, what's that over there? Is that a big red truck? A really, really big red truck? Hmm... I wonder if *I* could drive that!
