It is morning. The sun is bright. The sky is blue. Tom opens his door. Tom wears a cotton jacket. He walks on the street. He sees a shop. It is a news shop. A woman works there. Her name is Ann. Tom smiles at Ann. Ann smiles at Tom. Tom sees many newspapers. The newspapers are neat. He wants a newspaper. He holds some coins. He gives the coins. Ann takes the coins. She gives the paper. Tom says thank you. Ann says welcome. Tom holds the paper. He walks to the stop. It is a bus stop. Other people wait there. A boy sits on a bench. A girl wears a green hat. A cat sits nearby. The cat is happy. The cat purrs softly. Tom looks at his watch. The time is eight. The bus arrives now. The bus is big. The bus is red. The doors open wide. People walk on the bus. Tom gets on too. The bus driver smiles. Tom says hello. Tom looks for a seat. He sees a good seat. It is near a window. Tom sits down slowly. The seat is soft. The bus starts to move. It moves down the road. Tom opens the newspaper. The paper is big. The paper smells fresh. Tom reads the front page. He reads the big words. The news is good today. The park is open now. People plant many trees. They plant bright flowers too.
