ESSAYSAN INCIDENT THAT I CANNOT FORGET

It was starting to rain as I walked out the school compound. Afraid of getting wet, I ran to the bus-stop and I was glad when a bus pulled up immediately.

My bag was very heavy so I left it on the floor of the bus. The passenger sitting next to it gave me a scowl. Although I was feeling uncomfortable, I just stood holding the railing tightly. The bus driver was either new or was trying to show off his driving skills for he was driving in a realy dangerous and thougtless manner.

Some of the passengers shouted and made rude remarks. A pregnant woman almost lost her balance. I was swaying back and forth as the bus jerked every now and then. Suddenly, there was a loud sound and the next thing I knew I was sitting on the lap of the scowling passenger. There were a loud screams and painful moans as the people were sprawled on the floor and some had landed on others.

I realised what had happened and apologised to the man that I had landed on. Some passengers got off the bus to investigate and came back to report that the bus had hit a curb and was sent to fetch us and we continued our journey in safer.
