Yui takes the number-three bus to her aunt’s house.

Before boarding, she checks the bus number.

She sits in a seat beside a large window.

Yui’s stop is just after a red bridge.

Yui watches the shops and houses outside.

A small dog beside the road catches Yui’s attention.

The bus crosses the red bridge.

Yui looks up after her stop has passed.

Yui quickly presses the stop button.

“I passed my stop by one,” she tells the driver.

The driver says, “Please get off at the next stop.”

Then he shows her the safe road back to the bridge.

Yui gets off in front of a busy store.

She checks the bus-stop map carefully.

She calls her aunt and explains where she is.

Her aunt says, “Walk straight to the red bridge.”

Yui crosses the road at the green signal.

Her aunt is waiting on the other side of the bridge.

Yui was embarrassed, but now she feels relieved.

On the return bus, she watches the next-stop name carefully.
