Soon to be twelve, Jeremy Jenkins knew what he wanted for his birthday. He wanted a ticket to ride the new thrill ride everybody was yapping about. And Torry Nading, the Nature Ride shuttle bus driver, had all the right answers for Jeremy's reluctant mother Jean.
"You see, Mrs. Jenkins, the Nature Ride is at the main building on down the road a ways; a quick ride over in my Big Red Bus."
It's that big red bus - the one from your nightmare.
"Come on, mom! Dad, she's chickening out!"
Everyone was looking at mom the 'worry wart'. But less than ten minutes later, everyone regretted not listening. As soon as the Jenkins family boards the Big Red Shuttle bus, mom's nightmare begins to play out for real.
The Jenkins family will never forget Jeremy's twelfth birthday; especially the Nature Ride part.
