BR 2-3: The Bus Driver's Birthday

I read an illustrated book which is written by Freya Green.

Tommy was a bus driver, and today was his birthday. He wanted to take the day off work for his birthday. He didn't want to drive a bus. So he called his friends.
First, Tommy called vet. "Will you drive my bus today?" Tommy said. Vet said "I can't drive your bus for you because I have to look after sick cats and dogs."
Second, Tommy called doctor. Tommy said "Can you drive my bus today?" Doctor said "No, I can't. I have to look after a lot of sick people today."
Third, Tommy phoned the shopkeeper. "Will you drive my bus?" he said. The shopkeeper said "I have to look after my shop today, so I can't drive your bus for you".
Next, Tommy called the hairdresser. "Can you drive my bus today?" he said. "I can't," said the hairdresser. "I have to cut hair today."
So Tommy phoned the butcher. "I can't drive your bus today," said the butcher to Tommy. "I have lots of meat to cut up."
At last, he resigned himself to take the day off work for his birthday. He sat in his seat and then...
The vet, the doctor, the shopkeeper, the hairdresser and the butcher all sang "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"! They gave Tommy very big cake and the hairdresser drove his bus.

After I read this book, I thought that Tommy is loved by his friends. I like this story because I could feel a tender feeling after I read this book. By the way, did the hairdresser have a bus driver's license? If he didn't have a license...
