The bus full of children raced towards the cliff's edge. The driver had passed out, leaving no one to steer or stop the bus. The horde of angry penguins armed with throwing stars was only a few meters behind. The children had to decide what to do! One brave child grabbed the wheel and ordered all the children to one side of the bus. At the last second before going over the cliff, the child turned the wheel as hard as they could, and the bus lurched to the left. Due to the children's weight being on one side of the bus, it went up on two wheels! It turned suddenly, driving alongside the edge of the cliff. The penguins, not knowing there was a cliff because the bus was blocking their view, fell over the edge into the ocean, where they were all eaten by orcas. The child then drove the bus to school to make sure everyone was on time.
