<p>The Two hour train ride to the country town from the big city went very quickly. I had fallen asleep and mom said she did not to wake me up to see the mountains that we rode over the top to get to the country side town of 2500 population. Rubbing my eyes, coming into sight was our stop the country side town. Come everyone this our stop cried dad...grab your suitcase Jimmy&nbsp;replied mom. We swiftly jumped off the train onto the trian station red brick plaza. Grab my hand called my mom to me. We both started walking to the big general store on the other side of the street from the red brick train plaza. Dad was way in front of us as he strolled into the general store by himself. Mom I asked what is dad doing in the general store? Your dad bought an old ford truck from the owner of the general store,Mr Sam Ducker repled mom. A truck&nbsp;I replied wtih bed in back for hauling stuff? Yelp replied mom. Does dad know how to drive ? I asked. Your father my son has had his driver's license for a long time replied mom. Your dad and me would take my parnets old chevy car out to the drivein movies when we were dating continued mom. Wow, I replied can you drive mom? No honey ..not yet replied mom. I been looking at a motor scooter continued mom. I think that is what I am going to use for transportation here in country continued mom. Cool I remarked&nbsp;can  I ride on the scooter with you mom? Once I learn how to drive it good, yes Jimmy you can ride with me. Just as we finished out walk dad from the store and waved at us to come follow him. Going to the back of the general store my eyes fixed on a red ford truck that had delivery wrote on the driver's side front door in balck letters. Climb in everyone remarked dad. Both of you give your suitcases and I will put them in the back truck bed. Openning the passenger side door my mom said Jimmy get in the middle and put on your seat belt. I happily hopped in and asked what is a seat belt? Here replied dad as he reached around my waist with a belt that had a strange buckle on the end of it. Mom quickly hopped in and clicked her seat beat like an old pro.&nbsp;Wow dad I replied I have never ridden in a truck! Yeah well I talked your mother into buying this old ford..we are going to need a vehicle to get around now that we are in the country ... go run errands ..go to church...haul stuff remarked dad. Me I just reached down and pinched my arm to make sure is IT WAS JUST A DREAM.&nbsp;</p>
