One naight, on my way home from school my bus broke down as we came to a village, so the bus driver got us a sub bus while we stayed in the tavern with this lady named Esmeralda who fed us mac and cheese. Soon after the sun had completely set and we realized the bus wasn't coming, so the bus driver arranged for us to stay at the Hotel across the street from the tavern.
