Curious George and the Firefighters

This is George.

He was a good little monkey and always very curious.

Today George and his friend the man with the yellow hat joined Mrs. Gray and her class on their field trip to the fire station.

The fire chief was waiting for them right next to a big red fire truck. "Welcome!" he said, and he led everyone upstairs to begin the tour.

There was a kitchen with a big table, and there were snacks for everyone. The fire chief told them all about being a firefighter. George tried hard to pay attention, but there were so many things for a little monkey to explore. Like that shiny silver pole in the corner...

Where did that pole go? George was curious.

Why, it went back downstairs! There was the great big fire truck. There was a map of the city. And there was a whole wall full of coats and hats and big black boots!

George had an idea. First, he stepped into a pair of boots.

Next, he picked out a helmet.

And, finally, George put on a jacket. He was a firefighter!

Suddenly ... BRRRIINNGG!

The firefighters all rushed in.

"This is not my helmet!" said one.

"My boots are too big!" said another.

"Hurry! Hurry!" called the fire chief. A bright red light on the map of the city told him just where the fire was. There was no time to waste!

One by one, the firefighters jumped into the fire truck.

And so did George.

The fire truck with all the firefighters sped out of the firehouse.

And so did George!

The siren screamed and the lights flashed.

The truck turned right. Then it turned left.

"WHOO WHOO WHOO" went the whistle, and George held on tight.

Whoo Whoo Whoooo
