Double Decker Rainbow
Language: English 
Well…well, what’s happening now is 
I'm excited to go to England.
And to meet my grandma's old friend.
I think my mom has it all planned out so 
I'm not 100% sure what else we will do. 
My brother and my dad will go to a fancy 
sneaker store just to look around.
But I know 
I know I want to…
I want to ride on a double decker bus. 
I have always loved them.
It’s like: there’s the bottom! And then the top! 
And it’s just so cool! It’s like: 
are there STAIRS? 
are there STAIRS. IN. the bus? 
It's so confusing, but so amazing. 
like a miniature house on wheels… 
but not… but, YES! 
And I wonder: are they all red?
I don’t think so… but they should be. 
Or, maybe, it’s like a parade of: 
one’s red! one’s orange! one’s yellow!
and it’s a whole rainbow 
and they just drive together with a 
bunch of people on them and it’s like… 
It’s a double decker rainbow.

Lark Wright, age 11
