Текст
Last week I was waiting for my bus at the bus stop. A lot of people were waiting too, but the buses were late.

In the end, a bus came and I got on. I sat down and took out my smartphone. I was watching a cat video when the bus stopped.

I looked out of the window, but I was in the wrong part of town. I was on the wrong bus!

I didn't have any money to take another bus, so I walked home I felt silly and tired but my brother thought it was funny!

Then, he describes the events using a mix of the Past Simple and the Past Continuous, including watching a cat video and realizing he was on the wrong bus. Finally, he describes the result and his feelings using the Past Simple, including feeling silly and tired.
