A bus driver in Kano once picked up three passengers for Sabon Gari Market.

They were Dog, Goat, and Sheep.

Dog, Goat, and Sheep went to the market to buy ingredients.

They were each making soup for their families.

Goat bought vegetables.

Sheep bought maize.

Dog bought meat.

"Hurry up, or I will leave you behind!" called the driver of the bus.

On the way back from the market, Sheep was the first to get off the bus.

She went on her way without paying her fare.

At the second bus stop, Goat also got off the bus without paying.

She ran away.

At the last bus stop, Dog paid and waited for her change.

The driver refused to give any change.

"You paid for your friends," he said.

Because Goat and Sheep did not pay, buses in Kano will no longer carry them.

And dogs always bark and run after buses to collect their change.
