Arthur's Back to School Day

Arthur's Back to School Day

It was the first day of school. Arthur and Violet were waiting for the school bus. They had new lunch boxes. Arthur’s was purple and red. Violet's was pink and yellow. “ I love my lunch box, " said Violet. " I love the little plastic box for snacks. "

“ Me too, " said Arthur. “ I put some baseball cards in mine so I can trade. " “ I put a secret surprise in mine, " said Violet. " If you put it in yourself, you can't be surprised, " said Arthur. “ Yes I can, ” said Violet. “ I closed my eyes when I put it in. "

Norman and his dog, Bubbles, came down the road. Bubbles was carrying Norman's lunch box. " Look, Arthur, ” said Violet. “ Norman's lunch box is just like yours. " “ Hey, Arthur, " called Norman. " Do you want to trade baseball cards? I got doubles on some good ones. "

" Let's see, " said Arthur. Norman took his baseball cards out of his lunch box. Arthur took out his baseball cards too. “ Here comes the school bus, ” said Violet. Arthur quickly put his baseball cards back in his snack box. Arthur and Violet got on the bus.

Norman came running and got on too. Bubbles ran after him. “ No dogs allowed on the bus, " said the driver. He shut the door and drove on. “ Wait! ” yelled Norman. “ Bubbles has my lunch box! ” " I can't stop here, " said the driver. “ Look, " said Violet. " Bubbles is running after the bus. " All the children stood up to look.
