Jig goes to the store

Here is a story by Elias, typed verbatim by Mom.

Once there was a story of a little boy named Jig. Who lived in a farm far far away high in the mountains far far away again. He was a curious little boy. He didn't know what to do. So he walked along not knowing anyones name, and one time he saw a car.
And Jig was curious. Jig wanted to know how to drive a car, cause he was curious.
Then he saw a bus. And remember, Jig is a very curious boy. So he went in the bus without no backpack and the bus driver said "Wheres your bookbag son?".

"I just wanted to know what this thing is"

"Well do you even go to school son? How old are you? 5? 6? 7? What school do you go to anyway?"

"What is school, I'm curious" said Jig.

"Would you like to try it?" said the bus driver.

"Maybe. Who is my teacher? What school will you take me to?"

"You curious little Jig you" said the bus driver. "I'll drive you to school and you'll see who your teacher will be"

So he met his class and learned everyones name. He walked up to the teacher and said, "What do I do in school?"

"Have you ever been to school my son?" said the teacher.

"Why no, do you learn? Do you learn to spell names? Do you learn how to do things? What do you do?" said Jig.

"I will show you what school is all about and you will see what you will do"
