Chapter 2 is about when  haroun and mr. Butt go to see sunset by mr. Butts bus . In every word or phrase mr butt says is ‘ but but but’ . I think he always says that because his name is mr butt, but might be his favorite word and when you say the word but it gives you time to think.from mr.butt I learnt that he always says but . It is so unusual for someone to say but constantly. Also that mr butt is a national one express driver and whwn all the buses terminate at their destination points , all the drivers start playing mischievous games and being silly and acting all childish  .
