Reading: The Trip to the Bird Park

Part 1 הבוקר

Last Tuesday, class 7B went on a school trip to the Bird Park near Kfar Amir. The bus left the school at seven in the morning. Yonatan sat next to his friend Michal, and everybody sang.

After forty minutes, the bus stopped at the side of the road. The driver opened the door and looked at the engine. "We have a problem," he said. "This bus is not going to move today." Mr. Doron, the teacher, called the school. Then he turned to the class. "A new bus will come in two hours," he said. Some students were mad. Michal did not say a word, because the trip was very important to her.

Part 3 השדה שליד הכביש

Yonatan looked at the field next to the road. It was full of small yellow flowers. Above the flowers he saw three big white birds. He took his notebook and started to draw them. Other students came and looked too. In twenty minutes the class counted eleven birds.

Part 4 הדרך הביתה

The new bus arrived at half past ten. The class reached the Bird Park very late and saw only half of it. But on the way home Michal smiled. "The field was better than the park," she said. Sometimes a plan breaks, and something good waits outside the window.
