    Once upon a time, in a small town lived a five-year-old boy named Toby. Toby was a curious and adventurous boy who loved exploring his surroundings. His most favourite thing in the world was the big red double-decker bus that passed through his town every day.

    Toby would eagerly wait by his window every day, just to catch a glimpse of the double-decker bus. The sight of it, bustling with people and gliding through the streets, filled him with joy and wonder. He dreamed of one day boarding the bus and going on a magical journey.

    One day, to Toby's utter surprise, the bus stopped right in front of his house. The doors opened and out came the friendliest bus driver he had ever seen. The driver waved at Toby, inviting him onboard.

    Overwhelmed with excitement, Toby hopped onto the bus. As he climbed up the stairs to the upper deck, he noticed something strange. The inside of the bus looked much larger than it appeared from outside. It was like stepping into a whole different world.

    Suddenly, the bus started moving and Toby could see his town shrinking away. He looked around and realised he was not just on a bus, but on a magical flying bus! He could see clouds and birds flying alongside. The view was mesmerising.

    The bus took him over mountains, rivers, and even rainbows! Toby saw animals he had only ever seen in his storybooks. He was having the time of his life, it was his dream come true.

    The magical journey continued. The bus flew over a beautiful castle and vast oceans. Toby was in awe of everything he was witnessing. It felt like he was living in one of his beloved fairy tales.

    After what felt like hours of exploring, the bus finally started descending. Toby looked out and saw his little town again. He realised he was back home, but his heart was still fluttering with the magic of the journey.

    The bus stopped in front of Toby's house. The friendly bus driver waved him goodbye as Toby stepped off the bus. He couldn't wait to tell his parents about his magical adventure.

    That night, as Toby lay in bed, he couldn't help but smile. He looked out of his window at the stars, thinking about his incredible journey. He knew he would never forget his magical adventure on the double-decker bus.
