Transit: Story
Chester is a cricket
(1). He lives on 200th Street and Broadway Avenue in New York City.
He has a mouse
(2) friend named Tucker who lives at Times Square on 42nd Street and
7th Avenue.
Chester decides to go downtown
to visit his friend. He leaves his apartment at noon and jumps (3)
on the “A” train.
Since Chester is so
small (4), he doesn’t need a
ticket. The fare for the subway or bus is $2.50.
Chester gets off at
the Columbus Circle stop and transfers to a bus in order (5) to go east to
7th Avenue.
There are schedules
for both the subway and the bus. More buses and subway trains run during
rush hour. (6)
Chester misses the
first (7) bus but catches (8) the next one without (9) a
problem.
He gets off at the
last stop before the bus turns east. (10) He arrives safely (11)
at Tucker’s place.

16. Using Public
Transit: Reading
The Cricket in Times Square
is a children's book by George Selden. Selden says, "One
night I was coming home (1) on the subway, and I heard a cricket
chirp (2) in Times Square."
In the Times Square
subway stop in New York City, Chester Cricket meets (3) Tucker Mouse,
Harry Cat and Mario. Mario is Chester’s human friend.
Chester Cricket wants
to go downtown to visit Tucker. Chester lives at 200th Street and
Broadway Avenue. Tucker Mouse lives in Times Square on 42nd Street
and 7th Avenue.
Chester takes (4)
public transit. He gets on the “A” train. Since (5) Chester is so
small, (6) he doesn’t need a ticket—many small children ride free, too.
Tickets for the New
York Subway and bus cost $2.50 and are interchangeable. Many New Yorkers have a
pass for the subway.
Chester gets off at
the Columbus Circle stop and transfers to a bus. He needs to go east and get to
7th Avenue.
Of course there are
more buses and subway trains during rush hour. (7) Chester tries to
avoid (8) rush hour because he’s so small someone might step on him
(9).
Chester misses the
first (10) bus because he was buying a hot dog. He catches (11) the
next one without (12) a problem.
He gets off at the
last stop before the bus turns east to cross over the river (13).
Chester didn’t enjoy (14) the ride.
Nevertheless, (15) he is happy to see Tucker Mouse and be
in Times Square again (16). There are lots of things to see and do in
Times Square!
Together (17) they start looking for their friend
Harry Cat and see what he’s been up to! (18) They have many exciting
adventures. (19) You should read (20) the book!
