Chapter 2
By Alex, James, Emma, Dalton, Steven, Senya and Kelsey
The Magic school bus drove along. I wanted to do my report on a nice
fish, not a shark. Ms.Frizzle parked in a parking lot by a beach. The
kids saw that the Blue Water Aquarium overflowed. Trucks with big
hoses were sucking up the water. A tall, bushy haired man came walking
out of the aquarium building. He had round glasses and a fish shaped
neck tie. The man walked to the bus and the Frizz opened the door.
“Kids ,”said Ms.Frizzle, “This is Mr. Hill the director of the
aquarium.”
“I’m sorry, Ms.Frizzle,” said Mr. Hill. “I’ve got bad news.
“What happened Mr. Hill?” asked Ms.Frizzle.
“The dolphins were playing with a rubber ball and it got stuck in the
drainpipe. The tank and the aquarium overflowed. We have to close for
the day, so we can clean up the mess,” replied Mr. Hill.
I was relieved that I didn’t have to get close to a shark, but I had a
bad feeling because, Ms.Frizzle got that twinkle in her eye.
Ms.Frizzle said,” I think I have a solution to this problem.” “Climb
aboard Mr. Hill.” In a few seconds the bus transformed into a
helicopter.
“What’s going on?” screamed Mr. Hill.
“Don’t worry you’re on the magic school b-helicopter, this kind of
thing happens a lot.”
The magic school helicopter flew over the water. “Where are we going,
Ms.Frizzle ?” asked Phoebe.
Ms.Frizzle hit a few buttons a the dash board. This made the
helicopter sink into the ocean. The Magic School Helicopter changed
into a submarine. The submarine went down deep and started to shrink.
Now the sub was two feet long. Everything looked gigantic. “There’s
something scary about this field trip,” I groaned.
“I think it’s going to be fantastic,” shouted Mr. Hill.
Ralphie asked,” Is there any chance we’ll see a shark?” My heart
pumped faster and I hoped the answer was no.
Mr. Hill said,” It is possible because many sharks live in this area.”
“Cool,” said Keesha. “We learned there are over 300 kinds of sharks.”
