A Horrible Bus Journey

Answer: The excursion of our school to Shantiniketan being over, we started returning on the third afternoon. We had to cross a notorious jungle famous for dacoity, snatching etc. being aware of the danger, the driver of our bus picked up speed.

Suddenly, we startled at a bursting sound midway in the dark jungle. Two tyres of our bus were punctured. We got down and kept on shivering in fear and praying to God for about two hours. Though themselves shuddered, our teachers guarded us. Time seemed unmoved.

However, the tyres were re-fixed and the bus sped on. Our suspense and tension got over. Anyway, we reached homes safe at day-break. The horror of the journey haunts me still.
