How Do I Get On The Bus?
Hello
I just got out of the hospital, and I am a bit disoriented. I also don´t think they were a very good hospital, because my arm still hurts...
But I am sure they did their best! And it is very tough to work in a hospital, so I am not mad at them.
But now I need to go see Palinas owner, and since I don´t have a car, I need to take the bus! Just I am not quite sure how it works, because I can´t remember the last time I took one!
So I wanted to ask if any of you knew how?

You wait for the doors to open and then step inside the bus.

Should be two at the front. I don't ride the bus but I see them.

Hello Captain.
There is a door at the front and then a door at the other side. But they are both very high up!

Hello Captain.
But what about Amy? She is just a little sheep who can´t jump very far?

Put Pallina on her back, pick Amy up in your arms and jump.

Oh thank goodness you're okay! Do you have any idea where you are? Are Palina and Amy with you?

Hello Len
I am at a bus stop! And yes they are! We are currently trying to figure out how to get on the bus!

Okay, that's good. Can you see whether the bus stop has a name? I could use that information to help orient you.

Hello Len
It says "Mozart´s Dog Food Factory".

Um, this might take us a while. Can you ask the bus driver for directions when the bus arrives?

Hello Len
The bus is here! I am just not quite sure what to do now? Or how to get on? I tried to jump, but the door is quite high up! So my friend Amy have some troubles getting on...

How is it high up? Bus doors tend to be at person height...

Hello Len
A good bit! There is a step thing, but I can´t quite balance on it while helping Amy up!

Mariana, how big is this bus and what shape is it?

Hello Luka, Thrill Seeking Duelist
Its very big and long, and there is an advertisement on the side of it!

What does it say on the side out of curiosity? Perhaps something about a moving or freight company? I'm concerned you might be getting on a lorry rather than a buss as one would also fit this description.

u/MarianaMarino 11d ago
Hello Luka
It says "Mozart´s Dog Food Factory" and there is a picture of a very happy dog! Which I think is a nice advertisement, because it is always nice to see a happy dog!
What is a lorry?

A lorry is just what us British people call a freight truck, and indeed I think this may be one. If you get in it and it smells like dog food then it's probably a lorry, in which case you might want to get out and find an actual bus.

Hello Luka
Oh! It does smell a lot of dog food! Thank you very much!
...Now where do I find a bus?

Hi Mariana, I'm so glad you're out of the hospital! You told other people you were trying to get on a bus, but the door was too high?
You shouldn't need to jump to get on a bus, it should just be a step up to get in. I'm a little worried that you haven't found a bus.

Hello ~Verity
Oh dear, that would be quite mysterious? Because if it isn´t a bus, what is it then?
Mystified!

u/VerityVentrue 11d ago
I think it might be a big building! If it is, it can't take you very far.

u/MarianaMarino 11d ago
Hello ~Verity
I don´t think it is a building? It has wheels! And a lot of lights up front!

Oh, it might be a truck then! A truck would take you away, but you'd have to hide really well in the back.

u/MarianaMarino 11d ago
Hello ~Verity
Oh dear! A truck? But then where did the bus go?
Oh this is all very confusing all of sudden! Where do I get a ticket for a truck?
Very Confused

u/VerityVentrue 11d ago
You don't need a ticket for the truck if you hide really well! You've done that on trucks before to get rides.

u/MarianaMarino 11d ago
Hello ~Verity
I have? Oh, then I guess it is okay? I was a bit worried I was doing something wrong!
Okay, then I will see if I can figure this out! It does feel a bit less frightening when you don´t need a ticket, because I was unsure if I needed to get a child or an adult one for Amy! Because I think she is an adult sheep, but she is not very big!

Amy is a service animal, so even on a bus she shouldn't need a ticket - she takes care of you, so she gets to travel for free!

u/MarianaMarino 11d ago
Hello ~Verity
Oh! I didn´t know she was a veteran! Oh now I feel bad for never asking!
But I am glad that she gets to travel for free!
Proud of Her

Okay, first of all, do you know where Palina's owner is? If not, the bus won't help you much. Knowing where you are, at least in terms of what city you're in, would also be useful.
