Why did the writer not get off the bus at Woodford Green?
I love travelling in the country, but I dont like losing my way.
I went on an excursion recently, but my trip took me longer than I expected.
Im going to Woodford Green, I said to the conductor as I got on the bus, but I dont know where it is.
Ill tell you where to get off. answered the conductor.
I sat in the front of the bus to get a good view of the countryside. After some time, the bus stopped. Looking round, I realized with a shock that I was the only passenger left on the bus.
Youll have to get off here, the conductor said. This is as far as we go.
Is this Woodford Green? I asked.
Oh dear, said the conductor suddenly. I forgot to put you off.
It doesnt matter, I said. Ill get off here.
Were going back now, said the conductor.
Well, in that case, I prefer to stay on the bus, I answered.
