On a small farm in Mexico, there are no schools.  A bus is a school! The driver of the bus is the teacher! It is a school bus, but it does not take the children to school. It just goes round from place, and it sometimes comes to this farm. The bus will stay here for three months. The farmers call it a school on wheels(轮子).

Each time when the bus comes, the farmers will come running to it, shouting and laughing. They warmly welcome the school bus!

When the bus is on the farm in the morning, the teacher teaches the small children. In the afternoon, the bigger children come to have their lessons because they must work in the morning.

When I was young，I liked to play jokes on people I knew, especially on my parents and friends. One day my mother was cooking and I was playing with my younger brother Tony. Suddenly I ran to my mother and said: “Tony fell from the open window!” She was very worried and ran out of the kitchen. Then I said: “Don’t worry, I’m just joking.” My mother shouted at me, “If you do it again, I’ll hit you.”

Another day I went swimming with my friends in the sea. I wanted to play a joke on them. In the beginning I swam fast and I called out “Help!”. All my friends came to help me. However, they found that I was joking. But half an hour later I wasn’t joking. I was so fast, soon I got tired and couldn’t swim on in water. I tried my best to call my friends for help, but this time nobody came to help me.

In the end they found I was telling the truth. They came and saved my life. They took me to the hospital. This is the best lesson in my life. From then on I haven’t joked on anyone.
