"My chicken can't get lost. I'm giving it away as gifts!" One of the villagers reminded the conductor as she hurried them along.
The conductor was the wife of the driver. After she took the money, she said, "Who would take your chicken? They are safe at the back. If you put them in the car, it will smell terrible. Also, it's summer now. The smell will be even worse. Get in the car. Stop wasting time."
It was normal for people to have poultries with them when they visited their relatives in town.
There were many students in the bus. The bus drove on the bumpy road and reached the town soon afterward.
Buses that moved between the villagers and the town were all old and used buses from the town. There was no air conditioner on the bus. All the passengers wanted to break the windows.
