100. The next Stop

The bus made good progress along the highway, stopping only in the towns and villages for passengers to get on and off.  Theodore Bear took note of all the places they passed through and in between reached for a snack from the carry bag that Frederick Bear had given him.  The afternoon shadows were already lengthening when Theodore saw the road sign pointing to the airport and the driver turned off the highway. The tree-lined road was wide and busy with many cars and buses speeding along and Theodore could see aircraft coming and going.  “This must be a very big, important airport” Theodore said to himself as he took a little white card out of his rucksack.  “I am looking forward to meeting Duty Bear again. The address he gave me says Desk 106 on the first floor.  I hope I will be able to find him.”
