Who is driving by on the city streets?

At the Bus Stop
A big city bus pulls up beside the road. A driver is at the wheel, and passengers climb in through the wide doors. When the doors slide shut, they beep: beep, beep!
1
Rumble, Garbage Truck!
Early in the morning the garbage truck rumbles down the street. The workers hook on the bins, and the machine lifts them and tips them out. Now the city is clean. Thank you!
2
The Mail Is Here
A yellow mail van rolls slowly along the street. The mail carrier brings letters and parcels to the mailbox. Sometimes she rings the doorbell, when a parcel is much too big.
3
Police on Patrol
A blue police car drives past. Police officers keep the streets safe. When they rush off to help, the siren wails and the blue light flashes: wee-oo, wee-oo!
4
Ambulance, Hurry!
When someone is sick, we call an ambulance. The white van with red stripes comes with its lights flashing. Two paramedics take the patient safely to the hospital.
5
The Smallest Rides
Bikes, scooters and balance bikes roll along the bike path. Children wear helmets and ring their bells: ring, ring! Strong little legs make the wheels go round.
