Leaving the busy and noisy store, I hurried back to my car, my mind preoccupied with the tasks awaiting me at home. However, as I reached for my car keys in my pocket, a sinking feeling washed over me — I had locked both my keys and cell phone inside the vehicle. Frustration surged through my veins. Feeling extremely annoyed, I couldn't help but let out a string of choice words, punctuated by a swift kick to the tire.
Just then, a teenager on his bicycle happened to pass by, his eyes catching my display of frustration. Sensing an opportunity to lend a hand, he pulled over and asked, "What's wrong?"
I took a deep breath, grateful for a sympathetic ear, and explained my situation. "I've managed to lock my keys and cell phone inside the car," I sighed. "My wife must be really worried as I should have been home by now." "Even if I could call my wife, she wouldn't be able to bring me her car key since this is our only vehicle."
Without hesitation, the teenager extended his hand, offering me his cell phone. "Here, you can use mine to call your wife," he said, his youthful voice brimming with sincerity.
I accepted his offer gratefully, dialing my wife's number and relaying the situation to her. I could sense her concern on the other end of the line, but she remained calm and asked for my exact position.
"I'll need to see if I can borrow any of our neighbours' cars." "I've thought about this plan, but most of them must be in town for the carnival today." I sighed. But she just reassured me that she would find the extra key and find a way to get here as soon as possible.
As I ended the call, I expressed my gratitude to the teenager, but a new worry crept into my mind. "It's a seven-mile trip for my wife," I said, "even if she could borrow a car, she hasn't driven for long and she's pregnant." The teenager asked, "Did you just say you live in the Medway street? My school is nearby so I'm quite familiar with the route. Just tell your wife I'm coming to get the key." "But that's seven miles! It'll take you at least an hour round trip."
